Covering Walls ON A BUDGET! DIY Quick & Easy Projects for your walls!

We've all stood in front of a wall and thought- WHAT ON EARTH CAN I PUT THERE? Sure, you could buy mass-produced framed pics, but where is the charm and creativity in that? Plus, you'll pay more than you have to!

Today I'm sharing my easy & AFFORDABLE ways I've covered walls! I'm Jenn....I'm the Bachelorette Pad Flip girl. I buy old, ugly, and neglected houses and flip them all by myself! It's a crazy, DIY house-flipping life that I'd LOVE for you to join at my blog, The Bachelorette Pad Flip! www.bachelorettepadflip.com
Using scrap wood, leftover bakery doilies, and some spray paint, I created almost free wall art to stage a guest bedroom. The best part [besides the almost free price!] is that this project is custom- pick the colors that match your existing decor!

One of my favorite projects that gets utilized and changed all year long is my DIY Postcard Display. I tend to collect postcards in my travels and I display them using a thrift store frame and frequently change them out. During the holiday season, I trade the postcards for Christmas cards that I receive.

One of my favorite things to do is upcycle things to give them new life! I took salvaged garden lattice panels, gave them a fresh white wash, and created a Fixer Upper worthy project to minimize random extra wall space. Now I hang seasonal wreaths on each panel to add dimension and color! This was such an easy and affordable project!

    I really like the painted bakery dolly idea! I've been using patterned napkins or wallpaper and framing them to spruce up my walls. But I like the idea of something more customizable. I will definitely file this tip away thanks!!
