Cheap Chic: Recession Decorating for under $10.

Last night, I was feeling a little blue. Nothing serious, just the unfortunately usual money worries. I would have been really blue had I forseen the results of my at home buzz cut I am currently sporting. (Note to self: find another cost cutting technique.) To cheer me up, Thomas picked up a supermarket bouquet of white chrysathemums. There is nothing like fresh flowers to perk up a room, as well as a blue queen. One easy way to a chic arrangement is to use all of one kind of flower and then to match that color to their container.

$4 of white mums
added to $3 Goodwill urn (the finish is slightly chipped, but so is mine)

= a chic, happy spot in a blue day.
