Home on a modest-cost: Linkup Features and FUN SPACES

Read the sequence from the top before cutting, painting, or moving pieces.

It’s Friday! Every Friday here at Bekob, we take a look at ways to make our homes more liveable and lovely without spending a bunch of money. I pick a new room every month, and share options I’ve found that provide inspiration and tutorials for fixing up that particular room. I focus on low-cost Handmade projects and direct fixes. On the last Friday of each month, I host a linky party, where you can linkup any projects you’ve worked on in your house that go along with the room of the month. On the first Friday of the month, I feature projects from the linkup and introduce the new room and share some inspiration photos to get all of us excited to get to work on our own homes.

So, let’s get started!

Here are some of the projects from October’s Master Suite Linkup that caught my eye:

A bathroom rug made from towels at Home and Away with Lisa

Upholstered headboard at Soul Style

Master closet reveal from Batchelors Way

Handmade bed at The Accent Piece

Master bath reveal by Soul Style

Thanks to everyone who added their master suite projects to the linkup! You’ve all been working hard, and I really appreciate your willingness to share your work. Great job, everyone!

November is going to be an exciting month here at Bekob, because we’re going to focus on Spaces for Family Fun: playrooms, media rooms, game rooms, and bonus rooms.

To kick off the theme of each month, I like to share some fun inspiration photos. These rooms may have been designed and decorated by professionals, with wads of cash in hand, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use them as a jumping off point for our own projects. And who knows? You just may see something in one of the following photos that makes you say, “Hey, I could paint/sew/tile/make this myself!” (Which, FYI, would be well fitted to linkup at the end of this month during the Master Suite Linkup, Nov. 30-Dec 3.)
