just some fun before & after house shots.

My style in a few too many words:

texture.

muted (colors)

bright (light and pops of color). 

happy.

bohemian.

mid century modern.

vintage.

diy.

green.

white.

As renters, we are limited in what we can change.

I would love to have bright white walls, updated windows and fixtures, a nice chandelier or modern fan, recessed can lights, etc.  It's a great home though, considering it's a rental, and I love adding and changing shelving, rugs, and lamps to make it more our own, until we buy.

Changing a rug often is probably the biggest way to make a dramatic difference in a space, in my opinion.  You can usually find me browsing rug websites (like this one) at least once a month. It's kind of a problem.

If not rugs, it's pillows. If not pillows, its side tables.  

Decorating is one of those things I will ALWAYS find time and energy for.  It's as essential to my well being as air, water, or sleep.  If that's possible, which I realize it isn't but that's just how I feel. :)

So here are some before and afters!

So yeah, you could say I have a slight plant hoarding problem and also that I could possibly benefit from understanding minimalism more, but I guess sometimes more is more..?  I just like so many colors and textures, it's hard to edit, but that's what I'm working on now...taking a step back and removing something.  

Anyways, thanks for stopping by! That was a LOT of pics!!
