A few small ways to get out of your comfort zone

July 21, 2021

This week, we're talking about how to fall in love with your home by getting out of your comfort zone. Making design decisions can feel scary, but it doesn't always have to be something as forward as painting a room a bold color. Start with something small, like patterned curtains or a bright colored lamp. Wallpaper is one of my favorite ways to incorporate a fun element into a space. It really helped showcase each of the girls' personalities in their bedrooms in our last home. I can't wait to see them evolve in our new home.

I rounded up a few favorites to help you step out of your comfort zone and add a little fun into your space.

There's nothing worse when I'm out on a fun holiday outing taking video memories of my family, and I see that red light. Or I'm traveling and stuck in the airport on a layover...it gives me anxiety! I've tried […]
