Let’s talk about the cost of a curated instagram bathroom shot. This is a picture of one of my favorite bathrooms we had remodeled, our powder room. ⁣ ⁣ Budgeting is a very personal thing. We saved up for many big-ticket items because they meant a lot to us (our fridge, oven, and accordion window/doors), and we saved money by spending less on other items. If you budgeted for an expensive mirror, because it’s the one you dreamed of, that’s your choice. You gave yourself the permission to spend money on it when you budgeted for it!⁣ ⁣ When we were remodeling and decorating, I spent HOURS looking for ways to save money. Between @helmick_hacienda suggestions, and lots of research, I was able to bide my time for lots of purchases, and save money by purchasing items when they were on sale because we started planning for our renovation one year in advance. If you are like me, you want to know the best ways to make your home look great for less! For most pieces of decor, you can usually find a less expensive option/dupe to use instead of the expensive counterpart.
