Decatur Tour of Homes

I've always been a fan of local "tour of homes". It inspires me to try new things in my space by seeing how others transform theirs. So, when I Googled my local tour of homes, I ran across one held in Decatur, Ga. It featured some fabulous homes in the Downtown Decatur historical area. Now as much as I loved touring the homes, I'm always on a tight budget, so I looked for the volunteer tab. Low and Behold they were looking for volunteers and offering a FREE ticket to the tour along with it! Jackpot (saved $25) ! So, of course I offered my services for my free ticket :)

The homes were absolutely GORG! Every home was built AGES ago and were completely renovated to "today's" sleek/contemporary style. I loved how they managed to keep the original character of each home like original brick walls and hardwood floors from the 1900s! It goes to show that with a little (or a lot) of hard work, any house can be made a home!

Now, they didn't let us take any photos (which sucks) , so all I have are pics of my name tag and pamphlet haha, but the point of this was to let you know that most events you want to attend (but may not have the budget for) have another way in! It may be through volunteering or actually working the event ( I've done this before and it was great! attending for free + getting paid is AWESOME), there's always a way to have good "cheap" fun :)
