Save money with these cozy rustic home decor ideas! From furniture to home accents and storage ideas, there are over a hundred projects to choose from. Not only are these DIY ideas are easy on the wallet, they are also easy to make. You can complete most of these projects in less than a day.

For most of these DIY projects, you will need basic tools and equipment such as:

• power drill & drill bits
• saw (jigsaw, circular and miter)
• wood glue
• hammer and nails (or nail gun)
• screws and screwdriver
• sand paper or sander
• tape measure and/or ruler

I won’t re-list these items below to save space, but you will need some of these tools and supplies for all of these projects. If you are just planning on doing one or two projects, you can rent the more expensive tools (e.g. saws and sander) at a Home Depot or Lowes to save money or borrow from friends, family or neighbors.

You can get most of the items required for these projects at places like thrift stores or habitat for humanity. Also, you can get pallet wood for free on Craigslist..
