Choosing your style can be a headache. You may go through several styles before you find your true style, but that’s ok!! When you do find it, embrace it and go with it. If your style is a mix of 10 different ones, that’s ok! It’s yours.
In your search, find what makes YOU happy. Surround yourself in your home with things that make you smile and you will be happy. Placement of these items can drive you insane, but you will know when you get it “just right”. It’s impossible to mess up, the trick is finding out how you want it.
If you’re going around your house like a crazy person, placing it here and placing there, your heart is in your home and you’ve caught the decorsting bug. As much as I love to decorate, I still have a part of me at times that hates it for that very reason. Why can’t it be easy? Just put it somewhere and be done. Oh I wish! This is all part of the fun, even though it drives us crazy.
Never spend more than you can afford, EVER! You can have a beautifully decorated home on even a small budget. You can find things at thrift stores, yard sales, local yard sale groups on fb, etc. If you’re changing your style or have things you really no longer want, sell it and use that money to buy what you do want.
Remember it doesn’t happen over night, it can take months or even years, but it will be done. Don’t give up.
I recommend taking photos often!! I love progress photos bc you don’t see the change as much in your daily life as you do when you look back at old pics. It’s a feeling of accomplishment when you look back 3 months ago and see the difference.
Happy decorating 🏡🏡🏡
This is so true. My decorating and remodeling processing is going slowly, but when I look back at pictures, I realize how far my plan has progressed. Thanks for reminding me to appreciate the journey to making my home feel like home.
