The Easy Way To Modernize A Period Property
Period properties are very much in fashion now. Even though they usually need a bit of work doing to them, especially if the previous owners haven’t kept their home in a good condition, it’s usually worth it as investing well into the home can help push its value up. When you do buy a period property, you will have two main choices: do you stick to a vintage style and bring it back to its original former glory, or should you revamp it and bring it into the 21st century? Most homeowners decide to go with the latter option. This is usually the most favorable option as period properties that…

February flew by in a flash (alliteration anyone?). I can’t believe it went by so quick! January was a little bit of a crawl, but February really went by in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, I have a few February favorites to share with you so let’s get to it! First up, in…

Implementing The Finishing Touches Of Your Home
Pexels There’s much argument regarding what makes a house a home out there. Countless articles, opinion pieces, some designed to inform and some designed to sell populate blog after blog. But this question isn’t routinely asked and read about for a marketed, artificial reason. Our homes are the one place on Earth we can feel the most safe, the most ownership, and the most sense of individuality. It’s no wonder people want to optimize them to remain as comfortable and nourishing as possible. Making a house into a home can happen through various means, but often all of them must be applied for success. Living there for a time is…

Love Everything Vintage? Style Your Home Like This
Vintage interior design can be everything from a rustic farm style to a luxurious and expensive-looking villa – and it doesn’t really matter if you’ve actually spent a lot of money on it either. If you find yourself rummaging through second-hand shops on a regular basis or just look a bit too much forward to the old furniture you might inherit one day, you’ve definitely found the style of your dreams. Image link: Pexels The only problem is, of course, to find the balance between charmingly old school and a living room that looks like it belonged to one of your eccentric aunts. Vintage can, after all, become a bit…

Valentine’s Day Decor
I love writing my Chrismtas decor and Thanksgiving decor posts. I always find it really inspiring to look at other people’s creations. i thought I would do a Valentine’s decor post and round up some fun things I found on Pinterest. I love the fun look Valentine’s decorations have. Something about the holidays always makes me think of elementary school and passing out cards. I love the red and pink combo and the upbeat, loving, optimistic vibes it gives off. However, I don’t like when the decorations go overboard.Once, a few years ago, I went out for a galentine’s dinner with a friend and the place was decked out for…

Time For An Interior Revamp?
The problem with a lot of homes today is that they all look the same! This is because retail shops tend to stock identical products from the same suppliers.

It is filled with furniture, accessories, patterns, and textures that you have chosen.

#fbf Fresh Flowers
Happy Friday! TGIF for sure. So for today’s edition of #fbf – Flashback Friday – I’m not really sure if it counts as a flashback. Yes, I took this photo last weekend. But, the flowers are still in the vase on my kitchen table looking fresh. So I’m not sure if it counts or not, but oh well! Having fresh flowers in the house is a nice breath of fresh air this winter. I bought them because this past Tuesday was Chinese New Year and you’re supposed to have fresh flowers in the house for it. When I was at the grocery store over the weekend to buy my groceries…

Book Review: Rock Stars at Home
Remember MTV Cribs? Is that still on? Anyway, I remember watching when I was younger and getting a glimpse inside the homes of celebrities. The tour, usually given by the star themselves, showed their giant houses and almost always showed off some fancy pool out back. Sometimes the houses were super classy and sometimes they were really over the top or eccentric, but it was always interesting to see. Rock Stars at Home gives readers a glimpse inside the homes of famous rock stars like Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Elvis, and others. I think rock stars always have the most eccentric homes! The book details these stars’ homes like Freddie Mercury’s…

The majority of us now spend our days working office jobs and staring at computer screens. It should come as no surprise, then, that we look for screen-free alternatives once we get home of an evening. Many households are now finding that their televisions remain off for days on end as they seek better ways to spend their free time. Some of us are even repurposing areas in our houses to meet that need. Many people, for example, now dedicate their garages and basements to yoga. And, as we’re going to be considering here, some people are even turning their home offices over to mini libraries. In many ways, reading…
