Ever thrifty decorating projects

I am still trying to decide if I am proud of myself for my thrifty obsessions, or if I should just admit that it really can be tacky. Anyhow, here is the latest "I don't want to spend money but still want nice things" project I cooked up. We needed an area rug to soften and warm up the living room. If you have ever priced Area rugs you know that it is not a small purchase. I couldn't swallow the cost. So instead of forking out the dough, I took the kids on a carpet store scavenger hunt. We rummaged through remnants and old samples and ended up buying these pieces for .50 cents each. The kids had a great time arranging them and when we had our pattern just so, we duck taped them all together from the back. And there you have it. I high quality unique area rug for under $20.00!
