REFRESH YOUR LIVING SPACE IN THE NEW YEAR šŸŽ‰

December 30, 2017

Are you counting down to a new look in 2018?

Ā 

Whether itā€™s a New Year, the pull of spring cleaning or simply a change in seasonsā€¦rearranging furniture and a ā€œchanging of the guardā€ in your home is simple to do.Ā  A little imagination and thinking ā€œoutside the boxā€ can change the whole perspective of a room!Ā  And the best thing is ā€“ you can accomplish big changes without spending a lot of money!

Ā 

Upcycle those pieces taking up space in an attic or storage into a coffee table that now becomes the focal point of your room design.Ā  Change out an old and tired side table with one that adds a vibrant personality.Ā  Be bold with your choices!

Pure genius Iā€™d say! Have you ever wondered what happens to those pallets after theyā€™ve done their job? A bit of sanding, varnish, glass and industrial wheels create storage and re-purposed living room furniture! Photo: bild@mycasa

Once upon a time, interior design kept within a ā€œstyleā€ but now-a-days using a multitude of styles for an eclectic look šŸ‘€ is becoming the ā€œnormā€ for home decor. Mixing and matching pieces Iā€™ve collected has always been my preferred design style. Photo/style: Emily Henderson

As we step into this new yearā€¦ I for one plan on developing a new point of view (POV) in my design style ā€“ likes, dislikes, and even those ideas that have been on the fence for a while.Ā  Itā€™s time to shake things up, put on some dancing musicā€¦and paint a new vision for 2018! šŸ’ƒšŸ»šŸŽØ
