$0 DECORATING- Here's how you do it! | Julie Khuu

WHY DECORATE?? Are you someone who believes that interior design and decoration are only for the wealthy? If someone gave you $1000 FREE MONEY to spend right now, would you ever even consider spending it on furniture or room decor?

In today’s video we are talking about how to decorate when you’re totally broke. I’ll be sharing my top designer secrets when you’re decorating with a low/zero budget, PLUS all the deals and steals to look out for when you’re thrifting and shopping secondhand. By the end of today’s video, I hope you gain a better understanding of the true potential of interior design and all the ways you can benefit from it, especially without having to spend a dime!

I immigrated to the USA when I was 12 and grew up in a family of 11. Because of YouTube videos like yours I think my house look pretty nice even though I didn't spend much on decor.

I am glad you understand not everyone can afford lavish designs. It inspires me to make my home looks better.

I’ve been amazed at how much I’m able to do on very little budget. My pry bar and mallet are my best friends. Spent money on paint but saved on labour. For me it’s been a necessity to change up my home after divorce. It’s about taking my power back and giving myself permission to be me. Putting my bedroom downstairs has worked. I graffitied the wood base of my new bed with positive phrases and words and am now able to sleep in the centre of the bed and spread out. It used to feel like there was barbed wire down the middle of the bed. No one can see the graffiti but it’s life changing.

You have know idea how much this video means to me. I grew up on OC in the 1980s. I remember watching your community growing up and the education focus that Vietnamese community took.
God bless you and your family. Your family has a lot to be proud

[amyfrancis]

I love how you are so "down to earth" in terms of decorating and thrifting!

[daynacase]

Best decorating vid everrr. “A mindset of abundance” & “fake it, til you make it”. Words to live by.

[Walperion_Music]

Aah your family story just made you even more charismatic and approachable!! Love you!

[chrismctague]

Such a great story. My people came here from Ireland and also worked very hard so we would have a better life. That's why I love America.

[melNag]

What an adorable little girl you were! Fake it till you make, then continue to save money for generational wealth!

[veroniquefauvette]

I do that always, repurpose items, paint and DIY and I don't buy new things very often. I like when things are done on my own way, and with creativity.

[samtakhandhia]

I loved seeing your family photos and hearing your story Julie. My parents both emigrated from India to the UK in the late 60s and your experience growing up really resonates with me. We also helped some of our relatives settle in the UK, living together and sharing what we had. Now everyone is thankfully settled and doing well here we are lucky to have the budget to make major changes to our homes but I love how you make interior design and renovation accessible to all. Regards to you and your family x

I will always adore Ebay for CLOTHES shopping. Especially if I'm seeking something specific. Financial necessity made me begin thrifting about 15yrs ago. I still loved the 'good stuff', but couldn't afford it. I could buy new and get something substandard, or shop second-hand and maintain the level of quality I love. Learned a couple of painting skills, and restored several heirloom quality furniture pieces for less than pennies on the dollar. Have found the key is to be discerning and cultivate an eye for quality.

[maryyepez]

First of all, you and your sweater are stunning! Your videos are so informative and beautiful. Congrats; I will be sharing them on my Facebook Page.

[reneedubuc]

Thank you for sharing your background. A lot of these budget design videos on YT have a middle class budget in mind, so it was refreshing to see the advice come from someone who was truly low income growing up. Kudos to you and your family

[norraismaildotcom]

I’ve been inspired by your content for years now and today you broke a new wall by sharing about your past. You are so precious! Completely off topic but did you start a new exercise routine in the last couple of years? You’re looking fitter now than before. You look fabulous. Love everything from your hair style, hair colour, dressing, and of course decorating style! Stay lovely and blessed! 💖

[fancishmanci]

I like how you talk to your crew on camera. Inspirational video all around! Thank you for sharing your family's story.

[firestick]

Gosh. I got rid of the old blinds!
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

I use wax paper from the Dollar Store for privacy along the bottom of the windows where needed.

Bonus tip: I went along the outside and cleaned up the cobwebs and leaves. Another instant upgrade. Once you start with these little things, you find you can’t stop. Eventually, you’ll step back and surprise yourself! 😁🥰

[ginawinton]

Omg Julie you are soooo resourceful! And how cute were you as a child, you haven't changed a bit. You were born to do what you do. Thanks for sharing

[jimmytwotimez]

Inspiring story Julie, thanks for sharing your family history. Hope you all continue to do well 🙏🙏

[snorlund]

Thanks for the reminder about the “abundance mindset!” 😊
