If you had $100 to spend in your home right now, what would you prioritize? How about $1000? For $100, I would repaint a tiny bathroom in my home that I've been neglecting. For $1000, I would pick the room my family uses the most and go ALL OUT!!! 🤩What about you?

Really enjoying this budget friendly series. Excellent content. Julie is a real gem.

Julie, can you just come over, I'll give you the money & help me shop/design, 😊😊😊 Love your tips!❤

[amybao]

This is a very informative video. I’ve practically done all these things to my 90’s home. The themes are usually the same, but I like how you gave us the sample house photos to visualise with.

Great video, Julie, as always. I thought you were going to recommend a headboard first. That could be a DIY with a padded headboard using a beautiful fabric ( I saw one today in a condo real estate listing ).
The chest of drawer under the TV is key though.
In the living room, it looks as though they need a larger coffee table. I prefer coffee tables without sharp corners, so round or freeform. We had a gorgeous big teak coffee table in a fun curved shape (1960s).

This video was fantastic! I love the great ideas and tips. Can I send you a diagram of different rooms for you to make recommendations?! I'll pay!

[romelyndelacruz]

Can you just give me the money & i will finish my small house first ✌😊 watching from the Philippines ❤

[saraheschweiler]

7/11/24 Super motivational episode. thank you for mentioning the word “Declutter.” …. Because that’s where I would need to begin. Other than that, spending a couple hundred dollars to refreshen paint would probably do the trick. Fortunately, I have all the bones within our home. Listening and actually “having the mindset” to keep going can be extremely challenging. Life circumstances can definitely hinder aspects of your life. Thank you once again for this motivational episode.
Sincerely, Lori

The first priority for the bedroom should be to hide the TV wire. Then look @6:56. I get that the TV tilted to watch in bed, but if I’m seeing this angle every time I walk in the door it’s really disturbing. Combined with the mini desk and floating wastebasket, it all screams dorm room.

@JulieKhuu Please make a video on your studio setup. how you make your videos. Puleeeese

At the moment I have to save up for a lounge chair. I only have two, one is new but not comfortable, teh other is comfortable, but old and falling apart. The rest I just fix with paint and rearranging decoration.

[timilisafogal]

I didn't see a window in the photo of the bedroom, but I just kinda default-assume it has one? Would you do lighting first, or curtins? I'm thinking curtains (for privacy) before a new ceiling fixture? I can attest to new paint giving you the biggest transformation for your buck. I cannot believe what a HUGE difference it has made in my home. The whole house was painted dark grey semigloss(how depressing...) except for the primary bathroom. That was painted a pumkin diarrhea color. Not joking. Now it's all blues, greens and creams. Such a relief to the mood and eye 😊

[Jim_Curtis]

Is money better spent on pendant or ceiling lighting before putting in area rugs?

[tirhasmesele]

Julie, I love your content. I watch you every Thursday. I'm moving to my new home trying to design the whole house bedroom furniture dining room, I got inspired by you, but I don't have a budget to hire you. Please help thank you.

[veroniquefauvette]

👍🙏 Very nice recommandations. Thank you Julie.
I've had my mother at home too, and it is really challenging...pull away furniture and re organize everything 😊

[wendykornfein]

I think this covers everyone's budget!

[lucygilliland]

Enjoyed this video. Right now, any excess $$ is earmarked for lighting. The previous owners were really into ceiling fans (which I hate) and one by one I’m phasing them out as I can afford to. We started with 13! Including 2 on the covered patio and one in the utility room. That and paint are becoming the foundation of my decor plan.

There used to be a show called "Designing Cents." My favorite episode was a single mom who received a Habitat for Humanity house. Her living room and dining room were designed for $500. Not including painting the two rooms( the paint was purchased from the oops bin at the paint store). The rooms were lovely and would make anyone happy to live there.
I think America throws away too much stuff that can be refurbished. We need support systems to keep neighborhoods safe, habitable and pleasant to live in, no matter the income of the families.
