There are so many small changes to freshen up your space that make a big impact and don’t cost a lot of money (or any at all!) We all get stuck in a rut of looking at the same things day in and day out in our home but every once in a while it’s good to mix it up a little.

I LOVE rugs!! There are thousands to choose from and something to fit every aesthetic under the sun! There are rugs with tons of texture as well as ones with clean, simple lines and NO room is off-limits. But how do you go about finding the perfect size and type for your space? Hopefully, this guide will help.

One of my biggest pet peeves (and my children are guilty of this) is not utilizing lamps in your space. Overhead lighting serves a purpose but so do lamps, undercounter lights and sconces. Your home will feel so much more inviting if you allow all of your lighting to work together.

Making your home feel uniquely yours can be overwhelming. You walk into a home that seems all “finished” and “put together” only to go home and feel that you don’t have the skills or creativity to make yours look just as grand. Well, I say everyone has what it takes to personalize your home but most people either don’t enjoy it or they just don’t want to think about it because it’s not in their comfort zone…

My take on drapes is that they are meant to soften a space, highlight the window and create a beautiful backdrop for everything else in the room. However, there is so much more to designing the perfect drape than one may think. I always start by asking if the drapes will be functioning or stationary.
