Your home is what you make it


Everyone deserves to have a comfortable and beautiful home it doesn’t matter if your newlyweds purchasing your first house or if you’re the more established home owner. Filling the rooms with items that reflect your personal style helps to make your home a comfortable environment. Let me explain where you can save money on the furniture and where you should spend a little more on furniture. First you must understand that everyone has basics in each home; couches, beds, dining tables and buffet hutches. These are you "worker" pieces.  When shopping for these items it is beneficial to do your research. Look for how the its made, are they good quality, and will they stand the test of time and style, you want this furniture transition from era to era. It might cost more upfront to buy any of these items but if you follow the rules they should last for a very long time. Secondly I can give you some advice on how to save a little bit of money on other furniture pieces for your home. Garage sales, flea markets, second hand stores and my personal favorite estate sales are to be shopped vigorously by anyone trying to furnish a home. So many pieces are bought for less than $100 at these places. In order to get the look you want you may have to do some sanding and painting but trust me it is well worth it. Take a look!














Now go and explore and aways be inspired!
