  • Wallpaper and Tile?

    Wallpaper and Tile?

    This weekend I saw a beautiful picture of a wallpaper and tile bathroom. It was so stunning, I just sat and stared at it for a while. Initially, if I was told to put both together I would take a minute to consider other options, but seeing it with my own eyes was totally different.

    It made me look around for other options of tile and wallpaper that I hadn’t seen before. Take a look at what I found:
    Or you can just do a tile that looks like wallpaper!
    Would you put tile and wallpaper together? I’d love to hear in the comments below!

  • Making Cozy Comfortable

    Making Cozy Comfortable

    How can you make a room that’s labeled as “cozy” be comfortable? With minimal space and few options to fill that space, how to make it look like you actually want to spend time in there?
    Here are a few tips I have for making that transition from tiny to lovely.
    6 Gorgeous Small Bathroom Ideas That Will Have You At Hello!
    Take the room you have and add simple touches to make it feel like a home. A plant, a rug, a picture. Start small.
    Dedicate space for what you love. We spend so much time making our home look like magazines but if it isn’t what you want in your home or isn’t useful, don’t buy it! Buy what you love and what you need.
    Buy smart. One piece of furniture that you love, that fits the room is better than piecing together multiple pieces that may or may not work. Make smart choices that leave you with the best square footage and still comfy. 
    Be creative. Find pieces that have duel purposes and that provide you with more options, but also add character to the room.
    Small spaces can be fabulous, as you’ll see in these tiny balcony garden spots with moods that range from city sophistication to pure Zen.
    Keep it clean and fresh. Fresh flowers and clean blankets really can make a difference.
    How are you making your cozy space more comfortable?
  • Best Flooring Options

    Best Flooring Options

    When you consider your flooring options it can be overwhelming on what the right choice is. It’s something you are going to see and step on every day, it’s not always cheap depending on the square footage you have, and in most cases you might worry about the durability! 
    My suggestions are pretty simple, choose what you love. Find a hue or design that you would be happy waking up to everyday. 

    Sometimes we put too much into the resale value of our home and never really pick what we would choose if we had no limitations. Fall in love with your wood floors!

    Don’t be blindsided – go in with a move able budget. It’s okay to pick where you’d like the price point to be but don’t let that stray you from the best option.

    Go with a company that will talk to you in your terms like gohaus! If you have no idea what you are doing looking for flooring, find someone who is willing to explain everything to you the way you need to hear it. 
  • The benefits of a great rug!

    The benefits of a great rug!

    There are so many benefits to a great rug. 
    It adds a layer to your decor. Some of us love layers!
    They reduce the noise in the room. Rugs absorb noise so your room won’t echo as much.
    It’s a great way to add color to a neutral room!

  • Finding Balance in your Home Decor

    Finding Balance in your Home Decor

    Whether it’s clutter to clean, natural to color, or even the furniture in the home. Finding a good balance is key. 
    In an open floor plan it’s not just about one room. You want to have balance throughout the space.
    Balancing textures in your decor is a great way to add layer to your home without adding clutter!
    If you enjoy neutrals more, you might consider balancing it out with silver or gold items.

    Adding some balance with height is also a great option!
    It may take a few tries before you find the right balance you like.
  • Some office love

    Some office love

    It seems like more and more people are working from home. With a struggling economy it makes sense to cut corners. Not having to commute gives you more billable hours as well as less gas cost. There’s also that freedom of being able to live wherever you want, which gives you an option to be in a more affordable area.

    With all that savings it gives you a great option to really spend some quality time making your home office everything you wanted it to be.
    Say goodbye to that stuffy cubicle and hello to a room you can create just to your liking.
    It’s like a whole new world of options open up for you and you get to make it an environment for you to excel at your work.
    Even if it is only one little corner in a room, it’s yours. 
    I can see most people working from home in the future and for me it feels like a great way to balance life and work. Instead of being somewhere you don’t want to be, you actually get to enjoy being in your own space.

    I’m curious to know, how many of you work from home or are thinking of making the switch?
  • Simple Ways to Spruce Up for Fall

    Changing decorations out for seasons is an easy way to bring the outdoors in, but sometimes it’s not the most convenient. For starters, storing all these decorations can be a bit overwhelming and frustrating. Spending a huge budget on changing decor isn’t always ideal either. Here’s a happy balance of both that can get you on the right track!

    Blankets and candles are things almost all homeowners have around the house. Placing them in the right spot can really change up the decor and bring some fall loveliness in! Since these are also things that are already have around the house, you won’t need to find extra storage options for them later.
    It’s amazing what a tray of white pumpkins can do! Trays are so versatile and can be used year round in different locations, and pumpkins – although they aren’t always cheap – aren’t something you’ll have to worry about storing! 
    Empty frames, burlap, a great jar, some old books, and that touch of outdoor fall really gives this mantel a great look. These are things you  might be able to find laying round the house that you can pick up! If you aren’t interested in using pumpkins, you can always find acorns or pine cones to take their place. Using things you already have is a great budget option.
    Here’s another option for things lying around the house or outside that you might find as a great budget friendly home decor option!

    Even decorating the outdoors can be overwhelming! For me a simple wreath can do the trick and look so elegant at the same time!
