First from a Missouri favorite, Pat at Back Porch Musings shares her DIY project to cover a $20 sidewalk sale chair in zebra print. I am very drawn to traditional furnishings covered in unexpected prints. I think it looks right at home in her more traditional setting. Let's hear it for Pat!

From our St. Louis favorite, UMA, these very fun vinyl tiles, Mozaikit: 225 a set for only $25.
I have blogged about vinyl stickers before -- they are the new wallpaper. Cover anything and have fun.
From Ballard Designs, we can be inspired by three basic rooms decorated with accessories for under $1000. I show one of them below. It's inspirational for sure, but I bet I could do it for half that. Dare me? Check out all three the rooms: Decorating on a Budget from Ballard Designs.

AfterOn the designHop front, we have seen a great response to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article. Many are inquiring how they can start a designHop club or party. I will share details soon. Please leave a comment if you would like to learn more...and check out the new designHop links.

Hi Dana.......Thank YOU for coming to my blog....LOL! Laura Gunn is a very familiar name, but no, she is not in this group! There are only 4 of us and we don't really do a lot of interior design. With that said, I would love to be included in your group just to see what others are doing and how it is working:D I can send you pics of what we are doing if you would like. I think this type of group is sooooooo healthy (would that be the right word?). Doesn't cost anything and we derive such pleasure seeing a job completed. Because we all care so much about each other......we are happy to see our friend happy! hugs, Linda
I'd love to learn more about setting up a design hop in my area (Boston). I enjoy reading your blog and was introduced to it by my good friend Whitney. Can't wait to get my home in shape!
