Cheap Living Room Updates

Decorating a house for cheap....like foam, duct tape, fabric, and hot glue cheap :) That is what I used to make this cornice box for our window in the living room. We have a small living room with not many furniture arrangement options. So our couch has to be in front of the window, which meant no long curtains. I still wanted to dress the window up a little though so this is what we decided on.
 (Yes, I realize the couch is not centered below the window. I'll fix that.)

Then use hot glue to wrap the fabric around the foam. Cheap I know but super easy and it works :)

INSTAGRAM DISPLAY: I actually did this awhile ago. I got the idea from my friend who made one like this. It's a fun way to display a lot of pictures and to be able to easily change them out. I used tacks with jewelry wire wrapped around them. Then used small Ikea curtain hooks like these to hang the pictures. Super easy!
Lastly, putting some religion on the walls of the home...The Family Proclamation. If you have never heard of this you should read it here. It is an amazing document put out by the LDS church about what we believe about families. I have had my eye on this one, but the Etsy shop where it is sold was closed. 
So I found this one and I am really liking it. I got the file for it here and then printed it for super cheap at Costco.
