What's the best route for an out of state move?

bedroom furniture ideas budget image

My family is moving from Louisiana to Tennessee. I looked into PODS, but they don't operate in our area of Ten. (Cookeville). It would cost us roughly $850 to use U-Haul and to pack ourselves and this isn't including gas. Does anyone know of any other ways? We set aside only $1000 for the move. We have a 3 bedroom house to move, but no big kitchen items (like fridge and washer and dryer), just living room and bedroom furniture and other household items. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Answer
Actually moving it yourself is the cheapest way UNLESS it is a Local move.
So far you have gotten one of the cheapest rates out there for self moves.

Here is a rule of thumb to follow:

If your furniture is actually worth less then the cost to move it---don't!
Have a yard sale and then when you get to your new home buy
new or used which ever you can afford

You can always look for coupons or coupon codes ( on the internet) to get discount rates or special rates from self move companies like Budget, UHaul, Penske. Ryder.

We used Penske( because I got a great discount at the time)

Apply for a gas card and use it for the trip. You can pay it off over time.

Remember to Keep ALL expense receipts because you can deduct this move off your income tax ----rental truck, food, hotels, gas or milage deduction, job search, airline tickets if they were part of it etc.

Good Luck

I am currently designing my bedroom and need ideas.?

I have a very tight budget, so DIY projects are definitely welcome. I have three light yellow walls and one light blue wall. It is a small bedroom-my furniture consists of a king sized bed, a dresser and a bookshelf (both of those are tall rather than wide-they take up less room that way).
I'm looking mainly for ideas of wall art. I don't have a headboard and was thinking of making one myself, but I don't know, since my room is already small it might make it appear smaller.
thanks!

Answer
you can get an 8' sheet of plywood, cover it with quilt batting on one side, stapled to the plywood on the other, and a few yards of a fabric that goes well with your other decor to cover the batting, again stapled to the other side. Lay longways on the floor behind the head of your bed for an instant, cheap headboard.
Another cheap idea for decor is to get a large canvas (oil painting type) and some colors you like, splash across the canvas and let dry. Instant art. Pretty cheap.
Make the most of the room you have with underbed storage bins.
