Although every home has its challenges, take what you have and really make it place after your own heart. Why not add all of your favorite things? Stop saying, “when I get a bigger place I’ll invite people over”, or “I’ll wait until my next house to paint” … Start working on loving the home you have right now, instead of wasting all the great qualities of your current home wishing for something better.
Now go Love your home!
- Color it with love. Add your favorite colors throughout the home. Paint the walls, hang beautiful fabrics from the windows, throw a splash of color on the couches, buy fun, colorful towels for the master and accent with lots of great smelling candles.
- Make it warm and inviting. A place you hate to leave. Add comfortable throws and pillows to your couches. Change the light bulbs to a soft glow, instead of a harsh bright light. Use curtains instead of blinds. Scatter cool frames with photos of family and friends to evoke special memories.
- Bring Sexy back—to your front yard. When you drive up does your yard scream run a way, or come and enjoy me? It doesn’t have to be over the top, just tidy with a pop of color here and there. Add a chair or two to your front porch, make it a welcome place to hang out. Liven up your front door with a friendly bold color.
- Create your ultimate playground. If you love being outside really play up your outdoor space; add a patio, fire pit, game area, outdoor kitchen or even an adult swing can help make your home grab your heart.
Now go Love your home!
