There are few things that give me more pleasure than finding a solution to a problem that will take less than 5 minutes and almost no effort!Rather than make a bed skirt, why not put a fitted sheet on your box spring and call it a day? I always use white sheets.
Who doesn't have mismatched towels? Try attaching coordinating ribbon that will magically transform this hodgepodge into an eclectic, "I did it on purpose" set.
This is by far my favorite quick and easy (and cheap) decorating solution. I made a giant message board for my hall and can display cards, pictures and whatever, rotating it all easily throughout the year. Here are Martha's directions...

Pretty and practical, our ribbon board has been keeping work spaces clean since it was introduced -- and keeping party invitations, postcards, and photographs organized and easy to spot. The board can be made from Homosote fiberboard, available at lumber yards. Have it cut to size. Pull linen taut around front and sides of board, and staple it to back, securing two opposite sides first, then the other two. Be creative in arranging ribbons in a pattern on the surface. (The pattern at left is modeled after a garden trellis.) Use upholstery tacks to secure ribbons. Tuck your cards behind the ribbon; you'll need few, if any pushpins. Screw a picture hanger to the back, and hang the board on the wall.
