There's just one problem: your dream home is priced about ten times higher than your actual budget.  That's a bummer, but it's not a deal breaker. This episode will walk you through how to make your home look and feel like your dream home, even if you don’t have access to Jeff Bezos’ bank account.  In This Episode: Make a plan before you touch your credit card. Skipping this step is how you end up with a house full of things that don't actually work together. The love it or loathe it list. A simple tool to make shopping decisions easier and keep you from second-guessing yourself in the store. Where to spend and where to save. The test for figuring out which two or three pieces in a room deserve the splurge money, and which ones don't. Why the ugliest piece at an estate sale might be exactly what your room needs.
