^^ i love a nice sleek backdrop because most of my decor is a pop of color. also lot's of sun in my room is a necessity! it changes your mood in an instant, it's great. my white frames are from IKEA and the gold ones i found at a garage sale. garage sales are notorious for gold frames! ^^
^^ for the past few months i had nothing hanging on my door. but this trick adds so much more character to my little space! finding some colorful signature pieces from my closet and hanging them helps me remember that i had this or that! it's also easy to change it up here and there. ^^
^^ for the longest time i had this huge awkward space of a wall against my headboard. i didn't want to hammer anything more frames or even a shelf on the walls because then i'd have to buy more stuff to fill them in. so i kept it simple and i actually like it! ^^
^^ pillows are probably my weakness. i will collect all the cute pillows if i had the space and place for each of them lol ^^
^^ i got that girl from target and now she has a round cactus and it makes her look like she has a ballerina bun! ^^
^^ the picnic basket on the bottom is patiently waiting for me to use it lol. i was lucky to score that pretty thing when i stumbled upon it at our local Salvation Army for only 15 bucks!! i'll use you soon pretty thing! ^^
^^ the day after i came home from my mission daniel and i went on a target run to make me feel more at home by buying a few things for my room. that flamingo curtain was definitely not on my list of to-buy's but i couldn't resist the look or the price! ^^
^^ a new craze for me is the whole book stacking thing. i have too many books and no place to put them all so it's been really helpful using them as decoration! cheap and innovative! ^^
^^ one of the future projects i'd like to get my hands on someday would be to replace each handle on this dresser with random, colorful, knobs. someday! ^^
^^ see the whole book stacking obsession thing?
i used to have my perfumes in my bathroom because smelly things in my bathroom where i get ready should remind me to put some on before leaving the house right? nope. i kept forgetting. thank goodness for this little table that was handed down to me by a good friend, i no longer stink lol. it's right by my door and my keys so i never forget hehe. ^^
i've been home for about 5 months now and feeling settled in my home is a big deal for me. on a mission you are constantly moving, literally. i moved into 5 different apartments/homes. and because i was super homesick on my mission, the first thing i'd do when i moved into a new area, i'd settle in and unpack and decorate.
it took a little longer time to do that when i actually came home because of work/life/money/really trying to figure out where i wanted everything to go/also trusting that i'll find a nice little trinket to collect and place in the perfect spot. and it's not complete yet either because i would still like to do so much more to my little space to feel more and more at home as time goes on. doing this makes me so excited for decorating any future home(s), having my own place to call mine mine mine (also my future spouse, and daughter or son, but i'll be doing the decorating around here!)
