Smart Women Decorate with Thrift

The value of living the life of “RE”
One Tuesday night, Barb Tobias taught a Colorado Free University Class, Smart Women Decorate with Thrift, and students s learned and shared their experiences in the wacky world of thrift.
We created Vision Boards on decorating. Unlike the standard Life Vision Board, the decorating version uncovers our affinity for colors, textures, elements and styles. It is amazing how each board morphs into a profile that not only reveals our personalities but expresses our passions.
Students learned a bit about themselves, and learned how to surround themselves with décor that reverberates with their creative ideals.
- And, they learned the art of RE:
- To REpurpose rather than toss.
- To REfinish rather than pitch.
- To REnew rather than to throw out.
- To REvitalize rather than to chuck it.
And, if all else fails, and they would just as soon get rid of it, they learned where to send their “ love donations.”
