Cool! The carpet made a big difference! Speaking of using what we have, do old ornaments count? I mean those ornaments for doors. They’re somewhat out of season, but if the colors fit, it’s going to look okay, right?

Hi Rhonda – I agree! I like the idea of using different accent colors for different seasons – if the backdrop is neutral enough, that can easily be done!

Looks great! Now all you need is some splashes of vibrant colour, like a vibrant purple or turqoise. Paint can make all the difference in the world. Even a few small vibrant objects can change the energy of a room.

Hi Kareemah – thanks so much! I used Icovia – you can actually find it on many furniture retailer’s websites. I know Lazyboy.com has one. But I like pencil and paper sometimes too – but I keep losing the little pieces I cut out to move around! lol

Hi Corkboardwall – I’m totally with you on multi-functional – makes so much sense whether you have a lot of space or not. I also try to keep one drawer, shelf or area empty to allow for new things/events in life. It’s so tempting to squish something into every corner of a room – gotta let it breathe!
