Decorating on a Budget {via Live Creating Yourself}

I recently stumbled upon the blog Live Creating Yourself which combines everything you'd ever want in a blog & more. One post I found particularly fascinating was one in which she explains where she purchased everything to decorate her home. It is by no means a "How-to" decorate, but just looking at the feel of her apartment inspires me to search hard for the perfect design aesthetic in my own home. I love that most of it is from craigslist and vintage stores- I never knew what great things you could find at either of these sources. Take a peek for yourself- it most certainly does not disappoint. 


The rug and the bookshelf in the living room are my favorites.


I am dying to try the DIY version of dining room chairs.


I really enjoy the idea of mixing up the table & chairs, much more chic.


A simple black wall becomes the focal point of the room, along with a great gallery wall.


I cannot believe those lamps are from JcPenney, I'm now on the hunt for my own.


Wood furniture found in thrift stores {like dressers and chairs} are an easy DIY and typically better quality than anything you'll find at IKEA.
