One of the things I can {easily} spend money on is items for the house; I can keep my wardrobe streamlined, but seeing an item, and resisting an item that would look great in my home is another thing; to keep this spending trigger at bay, I move stuff around……all the time.
The pictures, among other things, in my house have been everywhere; they travel to every room.
Moving pictures is easy and it changes the whole way a room can look without any cost; keeping the walls all a fairly neutral colour helps with this and means every time I want a change around I don’t feel the need to paint and buy different coloured accessories.
Above is a corner of my dining room after a little move around; a totally different look without me buying anything new {the picture was here before}.
So let me know, do you move stuff around in your house? Have you been known to get up in the middle of the night to do it, or is that just me?
Don’t forget I’m having a book giveaway this week, so keep looking out for that; A clue. It’s my favourite frugality book!

You have a lovely home – are you *sure* you are going to want to part with it? Good tip on moving things around – just curious, does your husband notice when you do?
I just rearranged my kitchen and living room a little, now I have no TV and no microwave!

Thank you Tony; yes I’m very sure..not enough sunshine outside of the house! and no, he has no idea when I move stuff..lol! We tried ‘no microwave’ but had to start using it again; my son needing to reheat his meals when he gets home after a late shift.
How do you find having no TV?

I’m glad I’m not the only one denise.

@Laura: yes, the microwave is useful for warming meals. Having no TV is turning out better than I expected – will probably post an update on this at some point.
