You can still get the style you want by decorating with garage sale finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First I have to tell you something. The women on the OG&#8217;s side of the family have an incredible sense of style. For those of you who don&#8217;t watch my<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/c\/StacyVerdickCase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> YouTube channel <\/a>might not know the OG is my Dad. His two sisters both have amazing design eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was visiting with my Aunt Jeri this past weekend and she gave me a tour of the changes she&#8217;s made in her home. It was stunning.  I was particularly taken with her three season porch. It was stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-g1d97e2\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e6 section-g1d97e2 gutentor-element gutentor-element-image\"><div class=\"gutentor-element-image-box\"><div class=\"gutentor-image-thumb\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.peonylanedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/img_4581-scaled.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Porch Decorated with Garage Sale treasures\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It reminded me of a sunny cottage style. I loved every in of the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s when she dropped the bomb. Everything except the rug was purchased at garage sale or was found on the side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-gc2e704\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e6 section-gc2e704 gutentor-element gutentor-element-image\"><div class=\"gutentor-element-image-box\"><a class=\"gutentor-element-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/33TIl4l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><div class=\"gutentor-image-thumb\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.peonylanedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Jute-Area-Rug.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jute Area Rug Advertisement\"\/><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Be still my heart!

But chances are it will take a few weekends. <\/li><li>Get up early &#8211; I know you want to sleep in on Saturday. If you do you could miss out on one of those amazing pieces like my Aunt&#8217;s sofa.<\/li><li>Target high end neighborhoods &#8211; You can absolutely find good stuff all over. I know I shop sales all the time. Profiling more affluent neighborhoods mean higher end home decor. If you have an Anthro aesthetic but a Target budge start profiling your sales.<\/li><li>Get comfortable with picking up garbage. My aunt, like me, is perfectly comfortable pulling over and loading furniture into our cars. Not everyone is. If you&#8217;re embarrassed by the idea try to over come it.  I find some unique piece on the side of the road.<\/li><li>Unify with paint!  Look past the ugly at the shape of the pieces. If the size and shape is right then paint all the pieces to match.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-let-budget-hold-you-back\">Don&#8217;t Let Budget Hold You Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve seen what can be accomplished, don&#8217;t let a tight budget stop you from creating the room of your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need more inspiration you can always watch my garage sale and thrift haul on my YouTube Channel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do me a favor.
