    How a chair can change a room.

    It’s amazing how a simple thing like a chair can completely change the entire personality of a room. It can evoke a feeling of comfort or simply define a certain style you were going for.

    So when you are thinking about the feeling, the style, and the look you are going for in a room, don’t think that a chair won’t make a difference. A chair can make all the difference! 

  • Make Your Home Yours!

    Certain days I like to say goodbye to what’s trending and hello to what my heart desires. 
    When it comes to home decor, most of us follow the trends and that’s fine, but it doesn’t hurt to do some digging around and find something that truly suits you.

    When you pick home decor based on what moves you and brings you joy, you’d be amazed at how a space can come together and create something beautiful out of something so unexpected.

    Don’t be afraid to stand out and be different. That’s what makes your home uniquely yours.

  • Stunned by Steel

    Stunned by Steel

    My first reaction to steel windows and doors wouldn’t necessarily be a positive one, but I have recently changed my mind! My love for natural, white, crisp and clean just opened up a little.

    Steel windows are gorgeous! They are simple and stunning. I am surprised at how versatile they are.
    What I imagine when I hear steel is industrial. It makes me think cold, dark, and hard. Lately I’ve been seeing them used in a different light.
    This is a great change in my point of view of steel. If you have a great garden or view these windows and doors can create a great sense of indoor outdoor style you might be looking for. The same style can be applied to steel sheds in your garden. The Armstrong steel building cost is very reasonable and you can use them as home extensions. The steel frames also make them aesthetically compatible with modern style.
    They can be used in different ways. I would have never thought to use doors for a shower but they look perfect in this bathroom!
    I’m also impressed with how many different home styles I have seen use them. They really are magnificent!
  • Decorating small spaces doesn’t have to be hard!

    Decorating small spaces doesn’t have to be hard!

    Small spaces require a different way of thinking but it doesn’t have to be difficult.
    Living in a small space? Here are 11 great ways to maximize and decorate tiny spaces.
    Make items have duel purposes! Storage and seating? Looks like a win win to me!
    Make it cozy. There’s something about a comfortable space that makes you love it no matter the size.
    Utilize every nook and cranny! A closet might be better used as an office instead of storage space.
    intentional use of limited space is the core of small space design.
    Your decor can be functional! Just because it’s something that you use daily, doesn’t mean it can be pretty and on a shelf for all to see.
    Get creative with the square footage you do have. Make items that can be put away, hidden, or stored but easily accessed.
    Dabito's 100-sq-ft living room is fantastic small space design.

    With small spaces comes less clutter and more function. Don’t let it get you down, it’s just as much fun to decorate!

    Sometimes using an item that’s not originally for it’s intend can be a great surprise and fun feature to your room! I’ve found a few alternatives to use for your nightstand that you might find inspiring. Take a look around your home now, I bet you could find a few pieces you already own that would make a great nightstand:

    Wooden crates are not something new, but I love how they incorporated a light in it and made the boxes able to turn. This piece is definitely makes a statement!

    A trash can turned upside down. Simple and Genius.
    Reusing cinder blocks to create a nightstand is pretty brilliant!
    Making your own nightsand out of something you might have lying around the house. This is seriously creative and a great way to hide clutter in the suitcase itself!!
    Who would have thought to use a barrel as a nightstand? I love the spray painted black, you could do so many things with a barrel. 
    Cutting a table in half? It’s the perfect way to make an interesting nightstand out of something that you may already have.
