We have been in our home a while and I'm ready to start finishing all the projects that I have started and never finished. I started decorating as soon as we moved in but quickly lost momentum and the desire to finish. I started choosing cheap products that got me discouraged. I have realized that being thrifty doesn't always mean buying a whole lot of cheap products that won't last long. Sometimes you have to sit with the space and buy a little at a time. To build my courage, I thought starting with a space that I want to relax was fitting.
Also, buying things you love for the space over time and building on your vision is always a good idea. Our home was fully upgraded when we moved in and we have changed anything. We were lucky, we loved the colors and choices that the previous owner made.
Mood: Serene and colorful
Our house is all neutral so I wanted to bring in nature and color. I like to switch things up a lot so I wanted to bring color in through artwork and accessories. And, it was also important for me to have enough storage. Hanging hooks and baskets were necessary because I have a lot of skincare and hair products.
Plan: Simple Upgrades
I have found my artwork, so I will be pulling the colors from the artwork and using mixed metals for an updated look.
Side note: Knowing where to save your money
I went to the Dollar Tree and Target to load up on drawer organizers so I could feel like a rich auntie. Don't sleep on stores like Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Family Dollar. They have nice quality organization materials and they are a nice place to start on your journey for a more organized functional home.
Budget: $300
It does take much to make a space feel like yours. Just patience. Sometimes things don't happen when you want them they happen when you need them.
What projects are you working on? Let me know... What room should I do next?
