      I got LED strips on ebay for 4.99$ each. Each one is enough for a whole room or so. I also put some in the back of a shelf, it’s super nice

    Rearranging stuff I already have is a way I love to make my home feel fresh. I also got a lot of things off of Craigslist and at garage sales. Sometimes I’d even customize things to make them feel fresh with a coat of paint, etc.

      Thanks for sharing your views. Once every few years, we change wall paints and this has resulted in our home looking new. We never painted furnitures though
