Decorating your home for spring?
You've waited ALL year for this, so where do you put your mossy green balls, your ceramic bunnies and your signs that say "Hello Spring?" This year you can leave them in the box (if you want) and start fresh!
Changing your seasonal home decorating starts with curiosity, exploration and a microscopic view of your observations. Simply put...use your five senses with a spring filter in order to covertly or overtly bring spring into your home decorating.

Has your couch been sitting in the exact same position for years?
Getting a new couch may not be the solution to your 'my room feels stuck' woes (though in some cases it most definitely is). Using what you already have, but in new ways, is the cheapest, most budget friendly way to re-decorate your home. Think about it...you've already vetted everything that is in your home. It's already passed the 'I like it, I want to have it test.' But just because you placed it on a specific shelf or in a tucked away corner doesn't mean it needs to live there until it dies.
In this episode I teach you four ways you can confidently shop your home, using what you've already purchased and love. Start small or go big. Move pillows or move the couch. The choice is up to you. But whatever choice you make, know this: you have permission to play. There are no rules that say your lamp needs to continue living as a living room lamp if you'd like to try it out elsewhere. Move things around. Have fun. Play. And ask yourself, "what's the worst that can happen?" You have to move it back because you hate it. OK. Now you know.

My top 7 tips for saving money when I want to re-decorate my home or re-fresh a space:
"But it costs too much"
"I don't have enough money"
"Maybe someday when I'm a bit more settled"
I've heard them all....and some. These excuses hold so many home owners back from creating homes that delight them, but that's all they are...EXCUSES. Often times those same home owners are spending $100+ every time they go in to Target when they meant to stop for Kleenex. Or they don't have enough money to replace the couch they can't stand but their the first in line each morning to buy the $7 Frappucino. Sometimes it's a matter of priorities - and in the description above, that's definitely what it is.
But what about for the rest of us? Those of us who desire change in our homes but we're struggling to make ends meet each month? Are there ways to create pretty spaces that delight us even when we legitimately don't have a lot of extra to spend?
YES!
In today's episode I'm sharing seven of my favorite ways to save money when decorating your home. I use EACH and EVERY tip every time I'm re-designing a space in my own home.

"Why would you spend $700 on a course when you can buy a $20 book?"
A comment came in recently from a listener asking this question. It's a valid question and one that needs a valid answer because maybe you DON'T need an expensive course. Maybe for you, buying a $20 book is as good of a resource as you'll need in your effort to transform your home into a home that you love. But how do you know? 3 questions to ask yourself before making this Home Design 101 investment.
