Inexpensive and Useful but Pretty Decor.

Rotating Design

• A wall of calendars
• A small shelf of "featured" books
• A row of clipboards over a desk (and clipboards by bedroom doors, in the kitchen, by doors that go outside)
• Clothesline-type strings with binder clips or clothespins holding photos, greeting cards, or postcards

Don't Buy What You Can Make

• Desk and Kitchen organizers
• Table runners and coffee table covers
• Washcloths and scrubbers
• Blankets and pillows
