  • Comfortable Casual Spaces

    Comfortable Casual Spaces

    Today I just feel like being comfy and cozy and want my home to feel the same way! Here’s some inspiration for making your home feel a little more comfy:
    Blankets and pillows are a must for me!
    Less clutter and more warmth. Natural light, fresh flowers, and something you love. Keep it simple.
    This picturesque porch was made for glasses of iced tea and shooting the breeze on summer evenings. Black rockers echo the home's dark trim and connote throwback comfort in a slightly more modern silhouette, amplified by ikat pillows in black and white.:

    Even your outdoor space can feel comfortable! Make it a place you’d love to curl up and watch the world go by.
    It might seem difficult to make a formal dining room comfy but it can be done. It can be as simple as a rug on the to give it that soft texture.
    If the kitchen is your sanctuary, let it be! Make room for you where you are the most comfortable. 
    What part of your house is the place you go when you need comfort? Let me know in the comments below!

  • Creative Apartment Ideas for Space

    Creative Apartment Ideas for Space

    Apartments can be tricky to decorate. Most apartment rooms duel as more than one functioning room. Often, you’ll find it’s an open floor plan which can cause an issue for dividing the rooms. There is usually a lack of storage too! Here are some creative spaces I found utilizing different ways to make the most of your small apartment.
    Most apartments don’t have great closet space. Making a closet space can be simple! Use a sheet to create a wall and hang up a tension rod and maybe a shelf to utilize part of your room as a closet.
    Most apartment kitchen’s never have enough storage. A rolling island is perfect for storage and counter top space!
    I have seen many apartment rooms that are only big enough for a bed! Ditch the bulky frame and headboard and get creative. It’s amazing how you can create more storage and make the room feel bigger at the same time.
    52m² répartis entre deux pièces presque égales, une belle cuisine, et une décoration d’intérieur reprenant les principes de la décoration scandinave, tant au niveau des revêtements de murs, de sols que du choix des meubles, de quoi plaire à la majorité...:
    Pair down to the necessities. Too much clutter can make a room feel smaller. Find a happy balance between necessities and decor.
    Enjoy it! More space sometimes just means more junk, more cleaning, and more on your to do list! Living with less can be fun. 
  • Creative Laundry Spaces

    Creative Laundry Spaces

    Although a laundry room is usually last on everyone’s list to renovate or upgrade, these ideas may get you inspired to get in there and make your laundry room more functional!

    Having a defined area to fold laundry is something I personally love! It’s also nice for storing things that you use constantly like laundry soap.
    Having a place to hang up your clothes as soon as you pull them out of they dryer is nice! Having a hanging area that doesn’t take up much space is even better!
    Keeping laundry storage clutter free is not easy. Baskets are a great idea to hide all the clutter but keep everything easily accessible. 
    Wasmachine in natruimte bij Piet Jan van den Kommer & Jolanda Kruse,:
    Pick materials you love! Great cabinets, drawers, and counter tops can make a huge difference on your mood the second you walk into the laundry room. Make sure it’s a space that you actually enjoy being in!
  • Preparing your home for cold weather!

    Preparing your home for cold weather!

    We always talk about what home decor ideas would be great for fall but what about home maintenance? Before the cold weather sets in, get your home in check with these  things:
    Before it gets cold, go out and check all your outdoor lighting. Soon it will be dark earlier and you will most likely be using these lights more. Clean them up, change the bulbs, and get them prepped and ready for more use!
    All you need are 2 traditional rocking chairs and a place to set your cold ice tea.....or other beverage....and rock the afternoon away.:
    Simplify your porch, patio, and deck! With the leaves falling, the rain coming, the wind blowing, and soon to be snow, the less you have on your porch the better! Take away all the items that don’t do well with cold weather and keep the minimum.

    Check your windows and doors! Make sure they are sealed well inside and out and close properly. Weather is one thing that can really damage a home. It’s known for mold, wood rot, and pesky bugs and animals that decide your home is where they want to be! 
    From Mini Manor Blog. I love this organizational station for yard and garden supplies. The table (for potting) folds down so the car can come in. The smaller tools are in the bag begin the fern and the larger tools are hanging. Soil in bigger trash can.:
    Have easy access to your trash and recycle. Whether it’s in a garage or outside, make sure you have quick and easy access to it! It’s hard to keep a home clutter free and clean if you are having a hard time just getting your trash out of the house!
    Minimalist TV room... Probably not dog friendly but so pretty!!:
    Spring cleaning in the fall! Before the holiday’s come and it get’s so busy, get rid of all the clutter! Get your home ready for the holiday parties now. If you have time, do a deep clean! If not, just pick up all the extra pieces that are unnecessary in each room and make it feel fresh and new.
    What do you like to do to get ready for fall?
