• 327 // Budget friendly tips for repurposing and updating your home decor with things you already own

  Hey friend! So you're ready for a little update or refreshing your space and you don't have a large budget? Using what you already have is easier than you might think, but knowing how to use it can require a bit of imagination. In today's episode I'm sharing my 5 Rs - a strategy I use when I'm ready for a fresh new look in my home that doesn't require an expensive bill or putting items on credit. 5 Rs or updating or refreshing your home deocr 1. Reimagine: Getting yourself into a posture of creativity will help you to see potential changes that you may not have seen before. 2. Rearrange: There are NO rules that say where you have your furniture today is where it needs to be shackled for the next fifteen years. Move it around, experiment, play, have fun! 3. Remove & Replace: Basically - shop the house. Try furniture or small accessories in different rooms. Swap out lamps, side tables, textiles in order to refresh another space. And goodness...check your cupboards and storage for forgotten treasures. 4. Rethink: If you have only look at a dresser and say that dresser can only do ONE job...think again! Rethink its purpose (and beauty) by thinking about how it can function in a different space for a different purpose. Example: a lowboy dresser being used as a sideboard in the dining room. Guaranteed, no one else in the neighborhood will be using the same one. 5. Repair: If you have something that you love that feels beyond repair...think again. Fix it, zhuzh it - paint, stain, new knobs, legs, pole wrap, caning, lighting, wallpaper backing...if you can think it, you can do it.   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

• 326 // Isn't home decorating frivalous - why does it even matter? Here's what I have to say to the nay-sayers

  Hey friend! You've heard the phrases:  "Home is where the heart is." "There's no place like home." "Home is a feeling." TRUE...all of that. But home has a backdrop, a landscape to the heart and home definitely has a feeling. How you feel about your home is shrouded in every memory - those that provoke laughter or tears. If you don't like the backdrop to those memories: frustration, overwhelm, disarray, disorganization, chaos, clutter...as the illustrator of your home's canvas - YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE IT! Simply put...home matters. It should be: * a respite at the end of a long day * a shelter from the literal and figurative storms * a comfort when returning from long times away * an invitation to relax and restore * a place for you to feel inspired and delighted * a scared space for all the memories that make up the landscape of your legacy So...how do you feel about your home? How are you treating it? Are you ready to take action and turn it into a place where you delight?   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

• 323 // The 5 essential elements of a well styled home

  Hey friend! Have you ever wondered what what REALLY goes into having a well styled home - like all those pretty pictures you see on Instagram or Pinterest? Yes...cohesiveness matters. Yes...being in tune with your design style is important. Yes...finding and buying the right things can pull a room together.   What's really at the heart of a well styled home? These 5 elements: 1. Proportion/scale/balance: Not too big, not too small. Things that fit and fit appropriately from ground up, wall inward. 2. Textured lighting: Forget the overhead lighting and opt for layered lighting - table lamps and floor lamps that work harmoniously to cast a cozy glow. 3. Layers & texture: intentionality in home design is ensconced in all the layers! 4. Repetition: the goldilocks rule applies here. Not too much repetition and not too little - just enough. The more subtle the repetition of design elements the better! 5. Negative space: even artists and photographers employ the idea of having negative space in their compositions. The same is true in our homes. Negative space allows your home to shine with all of the intentional decisions you've made.   Join THE COLLECTIVE   Have a question YOU want answered on the show?
