My top 7 tips for saving money when I want to re-decorate my home or re-fresh a space: 

"But it costs too much"

"I don't have enough money"

"Maybe someday when I'm a bit more settled"

I've heard them all....and some. These excuses hold so many home owners back from creating homes that delight them, but that's all they are...EXCUSES. Often times those same home owners are spending $100+ every time they go in to Target when they meant to stop for Kleenex. Or they don't have enough money to replace the couch they can't stand but their the first in line each morning to buy the $7 Frappucino. Sometimes it's a matter of priorities - and in the description above, that's definitely what it is. 

But what about for the rest of us? Those of us who desire change in our homes but we're struggling to make ends meet each month? Are there ways to create pretty spaces that delight us even when we legitimately don't have a lot of extra to spend? 

YES!

In today's episode I'm sharing seven of my favorite ways to save money when decorating your home. I use EACH and EVERY tip every time I'm re-designing a space in my own home.

"Why would you spend $700 on a course when you can buy a $20 book?" 

A comment came in recently from a listener asking this question. It's a valid question and one that needs a valid answer because maybe you DON'T need an expensive course. Maybe for you, buying a $20 book is as good of a resource as you'll need in your effort to transform your home into a home that you love. But how do you know? 3 questions to ask yourself before making this Home Design 101 investment.

IKEA...yay or nay?!

The next time you head to your local (or not so local) IKEA...look for these things. Here are my top FIVE, always in my cart, go-to, tried and true, absolute FAVORITE things at IKEA (other than the meatballs and the Swedish fish). 

1. 20 x 20 down pillow forms (Fjadrar)

2. Curtains (Ritva)

3. Plants (8" pothos)

4. Picture frames (Ribba)

5. Baskets (Fladis)

Bonus: Glass bottle with stopper (Korken)

These items are always in my cart and the prices can't be beat. 

And these items? These, though not always in my cart, are always the sections or items I'm carefully looking at to add to my home or a client's home:

1. Blankets

2. Faux fur rugs

3. Organizers (drawer, cupboard, wall, garage...ALL)

4. Planters

5. Dishes

Bonus: Inspiration

Cluttercore

What is that? Cluttercore is a decorating style that is not quite Cottagecore (go back and listen to Episode 15) and not quite Maximalism, but it most definitely isn't minimalism. 

Cluttercore "revels in the idea of keeping things you love within reach and keeping your eyes full of the jumble it creates." Clutter sounds like the right descriptor. 

But what if clutter isn't your thing? That's OK...the idea behind Cluttercore is that you are surrounding yourself with the things that you love...aka your story. And THAT I couldn't agree more with.

Everyone loves a good before and after

and for one client, this before and after belongs to HER! 

Join the behind the scenes look at the conversation with my home design client Jen as I share the rationale behind the custom vision boards I created for her dining room. I share the inspiration pieces for the entire design, how to remediate a bully and how to create a cohesive design that will make her open concept home flow seamlessly from room to room! 

This is part two of a two part conversation. If you missed the part one, listen to episode 145: 

Are YOU ready for transformation in your home?

Have you said one of these things to yourself lately:

* How do I even start decorating my home?

* I wish I knew someone who could help me decorate my home.

* If only there was a roadmap that told me what changes I should be making first, I'd love that.

* Decorating my home is going to be so expensive, why bother.

It's time to book a design service!

Between today and Monday, February 20 ALL home design services are 14% off.
