1. Wooden crates for storage and decor

Wooden crates are super versatile for elevating your apartment on the cheap.

Get plain crates at the dollar store and then give them a whitewash.

You can choose a rustic look or paint them white all the way.

Stack them on top of one another to create a cool shelving tower.

I think this would work exceptionally well for bathroom organization! It would also look amazing as an entryway situation to store shoes.

2. Wall-mounted storage containers

DIYing this wall-mounted storage is easy peasy.

All you need is a piece of wood and mason jars.

10. Kitchen farmhouse

Marble and rustic wood are always a win-win combination for me.

You might not have a marble kitchen, but this shelving situation is something you can reasonably easily recreate in your kitchen.

Kitchen decor is something you can make as cheap or expensive as you’d like.

Why not customize dollar store items for a more personalized look if you’re on a budget?

11. Hello wreath for the front door

One of the most adorable farmhouse DIY ideas must be this hello wreath for the front door.

Get your simple, plain wreath at the dollar store and the garland, bow, and hello sign.

If you love crafts, this is a cheap and not, so time-consuming project to take on!

If you’re not in the mood for it, Amazon also has a gorgeous hello wreath.

Although I have to say: it’s probably cheaper to DIY it!

12. Faux cotton stems as a centerpiece

Faux cotton stems are great decorating material throughout the seasons.

Change up the vases and (faux) leaves you to accompany it with.

Style the cotton stems in a simple light-colored vase on your dining room table for a summer farmhouse look.
