When we purchased our new home there were so many things we needed.  We looked at different ways to save money when we could.  One of the ways I found I could save was on decorating my master bedroom.  We had shopped for plants to go on a plant shelf but each plant was at least $40.00.  We had three plant shelves in our new home & decided quickly this could get very expensive.  As an alternative we chose to decorate with items we had around the house & could buy cheap.  I grabbed all the nice bags & boxes I could find around the house first.  Then I went on ebay and purchased several Tiffany & Company bags for around $10.00.  People have asked me how I could spend $10.00 on just bags & I have to laugh because for $10.00 I was able to decorate my entire bedroom.  I would like to share my pictures with you & hope you can get ideas of your own out of them.

We also added bags & boxes to the top of our dresser to blend in.

There are so many different things you can do without spending a ton of money.  I hope this helps give you ideas to create your own version for your home.  Thank you!
