HOME is Everything!
/Have you seen the “Home Is Everything” Bed Bath & Beyond commercial yet!? If not, you will have to check it out! I’ll put the link at the bottom of the blog for you :)
It’s hard to believe we have made it through most 2020 in this “new-normal”. I know many are tired of it and ready to get back to the old-normal way of life. But, as stores and restaurants have opened up again, the kids are starting school (virtually or in person) and we are beginning to see our busy lives resume pre-COVID activities, let’s take a moment and pause. Let’s take a deep breath and reflect on all of the good things that have come out of our time of solitude at HOME.
For me, I will hold onto the memories of game nights and cooking meals and eating on our back patio. Zoom calls with long distance friends and family we won’t be able to visit this year. Our week-long Monopoly game or learning how to play Chess again. And I’ll never forget discovering Tik-Tok videos and attempting to try out some of the dance moves!
When I saw this BB&B commercial and it mentioned during this time we noticed everything we loved about our space and maybe a few things that could use a little love in our home, I thought “That is so true!” During your quarantine, how many things did you notice about your house that you never noticed in such great detail ever before?
Here are 5 Simple DIY (Design It Yourself) projects you can do to love up on your home:
Update hardware in your kitchen and bathrooms
Simply unscrew and re-screw the new designer pulls and knobs on your drawers and cabinets for a game-changing look. You may be surprised how much you love this simple update and decide to keep going, change up your media cabinet and desk hardware too! These pulls in Matte black finishes are especially in right now!
Change out light fixtures
Your builder-grade lights are screaming for some love and an updated mid-century modern look. Your new chandelier will come with instructions for installation, remember to read them first before you begin. Lighting is one thing I would recommend splurging on but if you are tight on a budget this one is a great value for the money.
Hang up a gallery wall
These 12 frames are less than $110 and you can replace the photos with your own wonderful memories. It comes with a hanging map to save time and sanity.
Re-style your entryway console table
The first thing you see when you walk in your front door should give you a sense of calmness and joy to be home. If yours is full of clutter take time to style organize and style it. I love this one by Studio McGee!
Update your throw pillows
New pillow covers can add a whole new look to your living room if you can’t afford to replace the sofa yet.
I’m curious… What is one room in your home that you love the most? What’s one room in your home that could use a little love and attention? Perhaps it’s your living room with furniture in it from when you first got married? Or maybe it’s your dining room or your bedroom? Maybe you are still trying to work in your make-shift office that is actually at your kitchen counter? Or your guest bathroom? I’d love to hear! Have you taken on any home projects to give your home some extra love that it deserves?
