2) Go to Italian garage sales and look for copper objects like baskets, pots and pans and old gold framed impressionist paintings, which are being given away at throwaway prices. Also look for artificial fruits like grapes etc, because these seem to adorn the homes in Tuscany.

3) Dried flowers, potpourris and ivy to fill the baskets would be ideal. These are cheaply available everywhere. Also get lot of terracotta pots and fill them with lots of green plants to adorn the patio.

4) You can put some chicken wires to your cabinets; these are dirt cheap and easily available. Keep a look out for lots of old wrought iron artifacts from the early 20th century, which are catching dust in homes of people who don't value them.

5) Use a lot of color glass, whether for windows, or paintings. Also try find old ceramic tiles, which can be utilized in odd places.

There are many ways to lower your budget. For example, get leather strips from garage sales, and make use of them for your upholstery, or for frames. Get creative. Get Tuscan!
