Whether it’s a 1 bedroom studio, a rambling ranch, a fixer upper, or the home you’ve always dreamed of, love the home you’re in. Now. Today. As is.
Here are a few tricks that help me L-O-ve our DIY home…
#1 Bring the outdoors in.
Splurge on a little bouquet of flowers if you live in the cold tundra, gather some fresh blooming branches, or pick up a new houseplant! A simple way to make home cozy is to bring a little nature inside.
#2 Don’t wait for company. Pamper your home EVERY day.
Light the candle.
Use the good dishes.
Splurge on quality towels and dishcloths.
Play your favorite record.
#3 Simplify. Life. stuff. relationships.
Posts about beating clutter are by far the most popular! Purge. Get rid of something that you don’t love, something that you don’t use and something you don’t wear. Make room for LIVING!
#4 Gather up that collection and just enjoy it.
Collections can add to the ambience without feeling like clutter so look for fun ways to gather what you LO-ve! Maybe it’s teapots or keychains, maybe it’s a souvenir from a trip, or maybe it’s something that doesn’t totally go but you just L-O-ve it. It’s a home for YOU so just do it!
#5 Get comfy. Make your home a place of rest.
Fluff a pillow or two and not just for looks.
Use the pillow.
Layer up the bed like a luxurious BnB.
#6 Turn a lamp on.
I’m just catching on to this.
Maybe I’m getting old?
The warmth of lamp light just makes everything feel more relaxed.
#7 Create a cozy nook.
Gather up some good reads.
Gather them near a comfy reading chair.
Put a notebook nearby.
Add a plant, candles or favorite photo!
Would love to know what you do to love your home…
From R7 to you —
Be a blessing.
