Decorating Tips- How to Update Furniture on a Budget

Let's get organized!
I love updating old and ugly furniture using chalk paint, spray paint, gel stain and of course pillows! Updating and decorating your room doesn't have to cost a lot of money or take a lot of time!

Watch this video for my 3 top decorating tips for updating furniture on a budget.

When my three boys were little, our front yard was the neighborhood wiffle ball field. The grass was dead in many places but the memories made were priceless. Someone told me in that season, “you’re growing kids, not grass, right now.”

Are you crazy, cas? Everyday i listen to your podcast because it gets me going. I get my crap together because i listen to you dissect macro organizing and micro organizing. And i listen to you on repeat. Why? Because i want to be motivated like you. I want to have my crap together like you. So trust me, girl, you are doing amazing!!

You once threw some unfolded laundry into a drawer once and I loved you more for it. I fold everything but I don’t have 3 kids and a menagerie of pets and a garden. You let us see the unfolded laundry but you do what matters to you. Take a walk and let milo be in charge of deck. He’d feel so BIG. Your kids have the best lessons when they know mom or dad doesn’t do everything. Letting them participate is how you raise adults. Reality is a good place to live.

Sometimes just moving furniture around makes things feel brand new. No cost decorating is very fulfilling.

Your daughter's desk is gorgeous! She must be so happy with it - she did an amazing job. Love you to pieces!

[jillt]

Girl I'm comparing my self to you!!! You got it going on. Give yourself some credit;)

[carriehebbelinck]

That’s how some of us feel when we watch you ! Your house looks so put together and coordinated and now you even make furniture over, and don’t even get me started on your awesome mud room! XO

OMG Cass you are the person I look at and say... geez I wish I had my crap together as much as her!!!!

[FancyThatwithCandice]

That ombre dresser!!! LOVE!! I am going to paint my piano as soon as I muster up the courage! lol

[felitascott]

I was SO ENCOURAGED by your makeover project; but, GIRL, how I NEEDED to hear the VERY end. Thanks Cass for the reminder to let it go so that we can have time for simple makeovers like what you just demonstrated 😊

[melaniehirt]

You are an exceptional person. All will Be okay! One step at a time! Be you. Be yourself. You are the great Cas! That is why you are so great to watch!

[jmarie]

You're awesome Cass - please don't worry - Abby will probably remember refinishing her desk with you more than she'll remember if the deck and lawn were clean... And the desk lasts longer (and is beautiful BTW). Have a great week!

Cas, thanks for doing you and keeping your bar where it needs to be! Whenever I start comparing I remember this quote: “comparison is the thief of joy!” So true and needed at times. Peace and love to you!

[sharonhughes]

And I sit and compare myself to you!!! LOL I really don't....but I have done that a lot throughout my life. At 63 I am finally learning that my life, with all its ups and downs, is really pretty good. I like the way I live....wish I got out and exercised more though...so I try to catch myself before I beat myself up too much....and I just think on how things are right now....and I really like it. No one else would hey, I might not like living in their lives either! LOL You are just a full out treat for me....just keep on taping....just keep on taping! LOL

This is why I love watching your videos, some you tubers put on an act as if there house is never out of place or that they can do it all. Being a parent is hard work and every day is different. We are all out here struggling to be perfect and failing. Thanks for your openness Cass

[mirimonzon]

U r awesome. What a piece of advice you share here. Definitely right when you say stop comparing with others, we need to spend time trying to be the best real WE possible. That's all, less frustrating more joy!

[leeevans]

No one has the crap together. The 12 to 15 mins you see on you tube has probably taken 8 hours of filming. I think you’re amazing. You are real and not afraid to show it. Keep doing what your doing. As a single mum of four who owns a successful business and whose crap is definitely not together, I love you cos your the real deal. You constantly inspire me. So thank you.

[fongwingsum]

OMG I LOVE THE OMBRE. For real though, it looks so unique and amazing.

[gretchengrunder]

Yes, Cass. It is OK to let go of good things so you can focus on the important You go, girl!!!
