We are going up in about 2 weeks to put up the Christmas decorations. 

-NO PAINTING OR DECORATING, without your prior written approval-ALL UTILITIES in tenant's name-make "security" deposit a different (higher) amount than a month's rent.

They contribute to the overall decor, are easy to clean, and can be a very frugal way to change the look of your home.Fixtures for both lighting and plumbing are an amazing way to update the look of certain rooms.

He drives a 1996 Ford.Ingvar Kamprad, founder of IKEA, is worth an estimated $3.5 billion(Forbes, 2015).He drives a fifteen-year old Volvo and always flies economy class.His home in Switzerland is decorated with inexpensive IKEA furniture.Ingvar is often seen with his wife eating in cheap markets and haggling over prices at the market.Carlos Slim Helú, the chairman and CEO of Telmex is worth an estimated $77.1 billion (Forbes, 2015).Though he’s the wealthiest man in the world, he is not an extravagant spender.He lives in a modest 6-bedroom house that he’s owned for over 30 years and still drives himself to work each day (Business Insider: Most Frugal Billionaires, 2015).These individuals are wealthy, partly because they built into their lives the habit of financial discipline and prudence and maintained this habit throughout their lives, even after their net worth grew to several billions.You can develop these habits too.It’s never too late.

@Julie Marquez Seems like your issues lie between the happy medium of cost, decor and durability.  

I also try to theme decor to cabin names.

My wife loves her pets and decorating the house for each holiday.

You are not in the float tube business.One of my STRs has a bunch of Quentin Tarrantino movie memorabilia as decorations. 

I work with a management company in Poconos, Pennsylvania, for STR, and some of our best places are our cute decorated small cabins.I will be keeping this idea in mind for the future, I would love to recreate this. 

Also have it well decorated.
