✨ Upgrading, updating, or re-envisioning your space doesn’t always have to be expensive! ✨
My name is Amy and I live in a 1960s 1900 square-foot home with my husband and three growing children!
Here are three cheap quick wins that we just did in our home!
Our downstairs was historically an open playroom, but our children don’t play that way anymore and they were wanting more of a ‘tween hangout.
We were able to find the cloud couch on marketplace for $600, the TV for $50, and the TV stand for $75. We already owned the faux fiddle fig plant, so that was simply rehomed from our main level to the downstairs.
To finish my daughter‘s closet we bought a $9.99 clothes rod and a $40 dresser and it literally doubled her closet space.
Finally, because our home is small and when we host, we need more bedrooms that have adult beds in them, and we hit the jackpot.
Again on marketplace, we found this twin sized daybed that pulls out into a king size bed for when guests are here. This daybed was only $120.
We decided to stack our two twin sized mattress mattresses when my son uses it as his twin bed, but then we can separate the twin mattresses out to create our king-size bed for guests. No additional storage space needed for these mattresses.
we are not done here yet, so stay tuned and tap that follow button in hopes that I can help inspire you to continue to love your small home with your growing family!
