So what are some of your favorite things about your home? What to you makes it YOURS? I think that it is important to have something that you LOVE in the space that you call home. Look for the ways that you can express yourself within your home. Maybe it is just a centerpiece on the table, or maybe something more permeant, like a wall color, or mural.
When we first bought our house I had a fear of doing anything to it that would cause it 'not to sell.' So I didn't really do much to it for a while, and the entire time, I couldn't say I loved our home. I didn't think it had enough personality for my taste. Finally after about the first year, I thought to myself, If I make changes to the decor of the house, I will be happier living here because it will feel like it is mine. SO I started to do things here and there. Now, I feel like I am able to enjoy our cozy den, and it now has enough personality to make me come home and enjoy it! Here are a few of my favorite things....
Our fridge, Yes I said our fridge. I didn't like that it was plain white, and a focal point, because our kitchen is open to the dining room. So I changed it! I painted the fridge with black paint, and yes when I am done with it, it will wash off! So it is not permanent. I dare you to try it! If you don't like it, you can always wash it off. Also you can try vinyl wall decals too!
A little bit of this, and a little bit of that makes this wall clutter interesting to follow. I added the wall decal at the bottom of the collage. I love a lot of 'things' in one space, kind of pack rat style I guess, but my husband is a minimalist, so I have to compromise a lot. I think I like this wall, because it is anything but minimal.
I love my new curtains in the living room, it made a huge difference. I didn't care for the colors that I had before, they were basic and safe- so I decided to bring in a little bit of my favorite color into the dining room, where we spend most of our time with family and friends.
And last but not least, my tree mural on the wall. I was scared to paint on the wall, especially in the dining room, however with the light color, I can always paint over it if I get tired of it!
So your turn, what do you love about your space?
