Partnered post with Family Dollar. All opinions are mine.
This is the year in which I’ve decided to update my home decor, something that’s been long overdue. I don’t mean major reno work; I mean simple, affordable accessory changes that will liven up my home with a fresh new look.
So I hope you’ll enjoy seeing what I am able to do with just $50 in the Family Dollar Home Makeover Challenge!
I’m going to choose an area in my house that needs help, shop at Family Dollar for home decor items and then give that spot a much needed makeover with my purchases.
Family Dollar home décor items are on sale for 25% off!
The 25% sale will help stretch my budget even further! I’m super excited to take on this challenge and I hope you’ll follow along with me and even vote for me if you like my ideas. There’ll be a chance for you to win a gift card too. 🙂
Be sure to shop the Family Dollar 25% off home decor sale yourself, and use the $3 off $15 coupon from the website.
I’d love to hear about your finds and makeover ideas! What area of your home could use a little home decor TLC?
My office needs a major makeover. I’ll have to check out and see what Family Dollar has to offer.
I wish we had a Family Dollar. We are looking to give our house a new look. I think my husband has a different idea than me though but I normally let him do all the decorating.
I was very surprised at all the good stuff FD has for home decor! When I was moving, I found wall stickers that matched kitchen curtains that I’d bought a couple of years ago. I am hoping to go back and get the stickers.
I’ve never heard of Family Dollar. My bdrm needs a major makeover. I love to read so I have books every where. I love butterflies so I’d get some to hang on my walls. My sister is an artist(hobby) so I’m going to have her paint some butterflies on my wall with maybe a cherry blossom tree. My apt is kind of small so I have to do some spring cleaning.
I wish there was a Family Dollar near me! I need to decorate a room addition we are working on.
It is so easy to get so much with $50 at Family Dollar. I can’t wait to see what you are able to come up with 🙂
I am totally curious what you’ll be getting for $50!
What a great challenge. I wish we had a Family Dollar near us.
You can get a lot of bang for your buck. Even more if you’re the creative type and can think outside the box when decorating!
What a great challenge! Keep us posted and remember to show some photos!
the family organization station needs some assistance!! i’m working on it
Well at least you HAVE a family organization station?!!
We need to get more prints and things for our walls. I am going to check out the sale – and look forward to seeing what you do for the challenge.
I have a terrible time filling up the walls too. I’m not a portrait person so that eliminates one category. I’m more of just art as decor.
i think curtains are a simple way to change a room. sometime the cost a lot but it isn’t something you’ll change often
That’s quite true and something I probably don’t think to do enough!
I love Family Dollar! I shop there all the time! So excited to see home decor items on sale!
Changes in home decor do wonders for the spirit, especially during the dreary winter months!
There is so much you can get at Family Dollar although the name is somewhat misleading since not everything is a dollar. We have gotten Christmas and Halloween decorations from them. 🙂
I got a bunch of Christmas decorations this year too! I wanted things to set up for the table when I was entertaining. 🙂
Inside my drawers could have a makeover…family dollars always has affordable bins that would make the drawers look pretty…then maybe I would keep them clean…hehe!
Those are the kinds of tricks I like to pull on myself too!
Many people would be surprised at what they can get there.
I totally agree. I’m a regular shopper, but not really in the home decor section so I was surprised at the low prices!
I’d like to update our dining area. Perhaps some new placemats and a cute centerpiece would brighten up the room a bit. I’m so excited to see your results!
See, something like that would really make a difference and add some cheer! Great idea!
I love decorating so I’m always changing things up around my house. My favorite decor item is spray paint. I simply spray paint items that need a new look to change things up. White is my current favorite color for accessories- with a bright color to make things pop here and there. And Family Dollar sells paint too. 🙂 Have fun!
Good luck! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I can’t wait to see what I come up with either. 😉 lol
My whole house could use a makeover. I didn’t know that Family Dollar carried items for the home. I will have to go check it out – I love to save money.
You and me both. I am so incredibly frugal these days so I totally appreciate their prices!
Good luck with the challenge, I bet it’s going to be fun!!
Thanks, I’m both nervous and excited about it. Oh, the pressure…
I would love a bench with some storage for our front entrance. We have an empty wall.
Oooooo, I love that idea, Lolo! That would be a perfect thing to have when you walk in!
I could use a makeover, but right now I’d settle for just giving the house a good dusting and vacuuming! By the time we get home from the hospital, that’s the last thing I want to do!
You have a total pass right now. You’ve got more important things to worry about at the moment!
Ooh, I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with! We just did a little work on our living room so next is probably the bathroom 🙂
And I love what you guys did with your living room. It looks fabulous!
I saw some chevron print baskets I wanted there the other day. I am going to print out the coupon and go pick them up tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
You can even text the coupon code and show it to them via your phone if your want! I didn’t see any chevron print baskets at mine. I need to visit your store!
Good luck! I’m excited to see what you can do with that $50.
I must say that I was shocked at how far I was able to stretch the $50!
You come up with such creative ideas so I can’t wait to see what you come up with for this makeover.
Oh Vanessa, you’re putting me under such pressure now! lol
I cannot wait for the reveal, so you need to get busy! 🙂 How fun
Yeah, care to come over and help me get everything all situated? 😉
Ooh, how exciting! Can’t wait to see your new look!
All of our home could use some TLC but I’m terrible at decorating.
Oh heck, I have zero skills in that regard either. I try to go with the “if I like it, that’s all that matters” train of thought. Because honestly, that IS all that matters. I live here. lol
Can’t wait to see what you do! You can get all sorts of great stuff at Family Dollar for $50. 🙂
That’s for darn sure! I was SHOCKED at how reasonable the prices were when I was shopping today!
Wow, never thought about shopping for home decor there. I must go see what all mine has to offer my home!! Thanks for the shout out!
I went shopping in one of their Chicago stores a few years ago and that’s when I realized how extensive their home decor was. It made me excited for the challenge because I knew I’d find cute stuff. 🙂
ooh I’m excited to see what you come up with!
I picked everything out today, and it’s all still in bags but I’ll post when it’s done!
What a fun challenge! I love the dollar store! I visit a few times a month.
Normally I’m in Family Dollar twice a month. It’s my source for paper goods and cleaning supplies. Ohhhh, laundry detergent too.
I didn’t realize Family Dollar had all those options to change up your home! I have to see if we have one of those in NYC!
Now you have me wondering if they have them there too. I’m not sure!
Can’t wait to see your picks! I need to update the decor in basically every room. &By update I mean add any, since we’re pretty lacking.
It has been years and years and YEARS since I did much of anything. This is my year!
Congrats on landing the makeover – I can’t wait to see what you do!
I have all my purchases ready to be put into place. I’m feeling pressure now…. LOL
My living room, bedroom, and bathroom can use a makeover. 🙂
Yeah, in my case it’s kinda like…well, maybe the laundry room is good to go, but the rest needs help!
I grab things there every once in awhile. The prices are certainly low.
Surprisingly low, truth be told. It sure makes living on a budget a bit easier.
I’m going to have to check out the Family Dollar makeover! We have one not too far away from us, and I can’t resist 25% off! LOL!
When the starting prices pre-sale are already low, 25% makes them shockingly low and inasmuch, irresistible. lol
Wow with all the deals, the percentage off, the coupon, a lot of goods could be purchased. I need to check out this sale. We love the Family Dollar!
Family Dollar has a lot of nice items, and they have wonderful prices, mine is a clean cheerful store and we enjoy going there. I have gotten kitchen towels and hot pads from them and plastic table cloths for family parties and they work great. My granddaughter loves the toys at Family Dollar and I enjoy the prices.
Oh gosh, I need to follow your lead and get a bunch of those plastic tablecloths. That’s an easy to do clean-up when entertaining.
This sounds so much fun! Let us all know what makeovers you do in your home. And don’t forget the pics 🙂
Oh, I’ll definitely share. I took some before pics today…ugh!
I am planning on redecorating and updating much of my house this year. I have a Family Dollar a couple of minutes from my house and I never thought to look there. I will have to stop in.
I went to the brand new one they built here today and they had all kinds of ideas for all kinds of rooms in the house!
I am so excited about this challenge. Those gals from About A Mom are really going to give you a run for your money though. LOL 😉 It will be fun!
To the death! Just kidding; it’ll be fun to see what everyone does!
nice…i need to take my wife…she is def in the make over mood…ha…
so if i can save a bit of money that will be a good thing…
We women do like to change things up with our home decor from time to time. Just hand her your wallet and let her go!
What a fun campaign. Our bedroom needs the most help. We got every room decorated and looking great, but our bedroom.
Is it because your eyes are closed when you’re in there most of the time? 😉
I was just in Family Dollar yesterday. They really have a lot of items for all parts of the home. I’m anxious to see what you come up with for your makeover!
I guess I’d better do some cleaning around here before I show it all off, huh? I’d better pick up some cleaning products along with my home decor items when I go. Now I’m under pressure! 😉
We don’t have many family dollars around here. I would like to put some type of clothes line up in the playroom for my daughter to hang her art on.
I’ve seen people do that and it looks so cute! It would be super easy for her to add more and switch things around on a whim too.
OMG, awesome. You can get so much for $50 at Family Dollar, too. I love that store. You are going to have so much fun shopping and I can’t wait to see what you do 🙂
I’m headed there today and I’m super excited! A little lunch, a little shopping, maybe a nap when I get home. I like Sundays!
The Family Dollar is a great place to get great deals on so many things. I have one about 5 or 6 minutes from my home.
That’s about how far the store near me is. I like to get my cleaning supplies and paper goods there, but home decor will be a new twist for me!
That’s a fab idea and I can think of a few places in my house that would benefit.
Yes, then when you get home from Australia it’ll really be home sweet home. I’m so stinkin’ jealous!
Do they sell trim? I STILL need trim
Trim for….. you? Your house? Your clothes? Your goats? Me?
