| July 2011 HOW DO I SET A REALISTIC BUDGET ? Part of your basic planning involves establishing a realistic budget. The following chart is a guideline for redecorating a living room. The prices listed are approximate prices for one item in each category. Be aware that you may need to multiply the prices in some categories, such as lamps and pillows. Also, remember different items will probably be purchased from different price categories. This allows you flexibility in adjusting your budget as needed.
