Josie's New Decor

With help from a decorator friend, new bride Josie Balka has been spending the past couple weeks decorating the apartment where she and Kelton live. Josie and her friend were able to save money by purchasing discount decorations at craft stores like Hobby Lobby, as well as using various materials to make some of their own.

Below is a photo of Josie sitting in the living room. Based on what you know about her from the Bringing Up Bates, is this how you would have pictured her style when it comes to home decorating?

Bates Girls' Room Decorations

For those who asked where the Bates girls purchased the decorations for their recent bedroom makeover, as seen on Bringing Up Bates "Time to Reno-Bate," we have the answer for you!

After painting their walls a medium gray color, the gals headed to Hobby Lobby to pick up items that would add pops of color. Here are a few before-and-after pictures of their room, as well as close-ups of the decorations they chose. Are you a fan of Hobby Lobby? If you haven't visited, we encourage you to check it out. Their products are beautiful, and their prices are very reasonable.
