27 Apr 2013 Favorite Funky Frugals from the past five years
by Tanner Cangelosi
Happy birthday 501 LIFE and "Funky Frugal!" This has been such a blessed five years working with the lovely staff of 501 LIFE magazine. I feel like the staff cares about more than just the magazine, they care about the people of the 501 area.
In honor of the birthday celebration, I wanted to share my 10 favorite stories (because I couldn’t narrow it down to just 5)! I hope you enjoy!
March 2009 – Baby room on a budget
My sweet nursery designed for my first baby, Zuzu, on a very tight budget.
My newest tip for a baby room is to shop Rhea Lana for bedding and then match the bedding with artwork for a custom but inexpensive look!
September 2009 – The catch-all desk
So helpful in everyday life! This is easy to do with painted plywood as well!
February 2010 – A playroom for “play pretties”
This was such a fun space for my kids to let loose!
June 2010 – A family-friendly kitchen, faux show
I am proudest of this project and what the result was with only spending a few thousand dollars.
September 2010 – My china hutch
This is one of my first projects….I love repurposing old furniture!
December 2010 – Transformed by paint
I will say it again: Paint covers a multitude of sins.
March 2011 – I heart hand-me-downs
I’m SO thankful for hand-me-downs, or our house would be empty.
December 2011 – Houston home redo
Bang for our buck!
April 2012 – Glam master plan
Amazing what paint can do!
December 2012 – 10 money-saving remodeling tips
