Recently we finished our basement remodel, and this is how it has looked since, very bare. Although I love the clean bright look, it’s not very welcoming. Although I want it to feel more comfortable, we also don’t want to spend much, and we decided we are going to try and decorate the whole room for under $100!

Thankfully we’ve already got the Blue Ikea Poang chair, and futon from my college days! Yep… both those items resided in my dorm room and college apartments. We also already own the Ikea Expedit bookshelves. The coffee table was a $1 find at a garage sale last summer.

So here’s my plan: To work with what I already have and take care of the rest with fabric! I actually spent $15 for the blue pillow, $65 for all of the fabrics pictured, and $10 on some grey felt purses from Hancock Fabrics on clearance. Which means right now theres about $10 left in the budget. Not quite sure how I’m going to make this work??? Maybe it will be a $125 makeover? I’ll try to stay close!
