how to decorate your home

I love to decorate …in spurts. For the most part, I’m able to suppress the urge to fix everything that bothers me in my house. But then randomly, I can’t contain it any longer, and I go to Hobby Lobby, Pier 1, Tai Pan and Target everyday for like a week until I get it just right. …for awhile. haha

I feel inspired to tackle another project in my house, after seeing this post from Entirely Eventful Day about how to “stop sucking at decorating”. She gave some really useful tips. Definitely “How To Mom” worthy! Look at her lovely bathroom! She calls her style “romantic beach house.” I think I need to define my style.

I also stumbled on this house tour with dozens of before and afters from So Much Better With Age. I love how bright and clean everything is.

I think the time has come to tackle my awkward plant shelf by my stairs. I love this look from Honey We’re Home, but I’ll have to translate it into something that would work for a 15 ft long shelf.. I definitely want to go through my books and see if I can find the right colors to make it work.
