Recently my husband and I decided we needed to add a second bathroom. We also knew we needed to do it as cheaply as possible. Bathroom tile can be extremely expensive. Typically the bulk of a bathroom renovation is spent on tile and all the surface prep. After much debate and research we decided to eliminate the expense of tile all together. We were able afford to tackle the project sooner and pay for it in cash! This is how we added a traditional style bathroom without tile, on a very tight budget!
Making easy personalized ornaments adds an extra special touch. In our home we have a unique Santa tradition. Santa brings one special gift and leaves it unwrapped. He always labels the kids gifts with a special personalized ornament. This special tradition has left our children with a collection of beautiful unique ornaments that they can appreciate for years to come. Keep reading to see how to make examples of ways to easily personalize ornaments using wooden letters, charms, craft paint or stamps. No art skills required!
