What if there was one simple hack that would immediately make your home feel and look more up-to-date?
...Oh, there is one! Updating your light fixtures 💡
Yep! It’s that simple. And the project doesn't even require you to have a savings account.
Give some of these DIY tricks a try:
✔️ Update your lamp shade covers by using some fabric that you like (or ribbon), a glue gun, and some fabric scissors.
✔️ Take any outdated, brassy chandelier and spray paint it with some metallic or matte all-surface paint. You can do this with a lampstand as well.
✔️ Create your own lamp using a coffee tin for the shade and a mason jar as the stand. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box since that will save you lots of money in the end while still upping your decor-game.
What brilliant tactics have you used to update the light fixtures in your home? 👇
Need a great home decorating tip ?— grab a gallon of paint, and in less than a day, you can go from blah and boring to fun and fresh.
But is painting the only way to add spunk and pizazz? Nope! Wallpaper baby!— it’s making a huge comeback, and if you know how to pick the right design, you may say sayonara to paint forever.
Get the right look the first time with these expert tips:
Start with an accent wall. If you’re not totally committed, but curious to try it out, choose one wall and go to town. Pick a wallpaper in the same color family as the rest of the room for a subtle, but classy look.
Go big and go bold. Large-patterned wallpaper adds visual interest and makes an expansive room feel more intimate and cozy. If you’re ready for a drastic change, go big and go bold.
Consider your home’s style. If your home is modern, consider striking geometrics with metallic accents. For a more casual style, top beadboard with floral wallpaper in muted pastels.
Stay away from tiny designs. If you’re a newbie, stay away from very small patterns that are difficult to match up.

✏️ "Fun" fact of the day: did you know that home values in the U.S. have increased 7.2% ❗ since 2018 according to Clear Capital?
And though we’ve been seeing a slow down in 2020 — the beginning of this year marking the slowest growth rate (2.5%) since 2013 according to daveramsey.com — the National Association of Realtors suggests taking advantage of the time right now. 👍
The housing market is a “temporary softening” with an expected “strong rebound.”
