We can look at and critique expensive furniture and accessories all day long, but when it comes down to our own spaces, we tend to diy many things and repurpose others. In honor of keeping costs down, we've rounded up 20 budget friendly posts...

I think the links are the post. Put a little effort into it, and give me some new ideas. Don't just trackback to old ones.

Do these people get paid by the word? I guess not, seeing as how there's not much "to" this post.
But: "thrifty, frugal, and inexpensive" all mean pretty much the same thing, no?

I took the extra 2 seconds and made the effort to click on one of the links. It wasn't that hard ;)
I like that post about the $3 makeover. I have a TONNE of spray paint that is sitting unused. I think my ugly stone garden frogs are going to get a coat of glossy paint! Thanks for the ideas.

Can we have new links?

I wasn't being snarky. The second paragraph was not there the first time that I read it and there were only 15 links so you can hopefully understand my confusion. The information and the links are appreciated AT.

Thrifty and frugal essentially mean the same thing, inexpensive is something else: "Martha thought she was being thrifty when she hired the inexpensive contractor to renovate her kitchen. She later regretted her frugality when she had to hire another contractor to fix his shoddy work."
I don't mind these sort of round-up posts, since this site is pretty big and it's good to be reminded of older stuff. It's not like this is the first time someone's done this anyway, so I don't understand the complaints.

Love the post thank you!
I made a cute quirky origami display not so long ago after I found a heap of old origami paper. I'm not usually big on DIY craft (as I'm usually so useless at it) but it was definitely an inexpensive and pretty decorating idea.
