Tricky Tuesday: Extravagant Homes On A Budget

Laminate Wood Flooring - Hardwood flooring is gorgeous, but let's face it - between the kids and the dogs there's just no saving it. As an alternative to real hardwood floors, you can install laminate flooring that appears wood. Laminate wood floors not only look attractive, but they will also help you stay within your budget and last longer because they're meant to take everyday wear and tear. Laminate wood flooring can be as cheap as .25 cents per SQ FT at Lowes.

DIY Window Valance - Window valances are commonly used to cover up the ugly metal bars that hold up your curtains. At a low cost, you can make your own, and you can design them however you so choose. Most people choose a fabric valance, but you can get creative and make them out of recycled palettes, painted wood, or anything else you can find to add flair to your decor.

Upgrade Switch Covers - Taking off old switch covers and investing in some newer, fancier covers is an excellent way to make your home appear more elegant and composed. As pictured below, you can pick up switch covers super cheap at places like craft stores or special sales at hardware stores.
