This next page here gives you an idea of just how cheaply you can redesign your drab bedroom into a boudoir for.  Imagine coming home to this each day.  The romance that it exudes......beautiful!  Now obviously this was not in Australia, but the concept remains the same.  Finally, this link here gives some food for thought.  Again, it is in the UK but the items are gorgeous and help give you an idea of the elements you can incorporate.  Ok, you still want to save a few more dollars?  Check out your nearest secondhand shop.  Look for things that remind you of the styles you have seen - preferably that need stripping and varnishing, painting or some simple work.
