Have you ever been browsing Pinterest and find a GREAT article on how a family redecorated on a tight budget? You say to yourself, “Now this is my kind of content!”. You click the link with gusto and start reading, only to find that the sofa from the picture “only cost $5,000”. You swallow your sadness and continue reading, because at least the pictures are pretty.

Home decor has become such a huge market over the past decade. Trends are always changing, and I don’t know a single person with the income to keep up with it. I once read something a designer had said, and she basically said that as long as you surround yourself with things you love, it is a valid decor style. There are no rules in decorating as long as you love it.

This was such a relief for me, because for so long I thought there was a list of unspoken decor rules that you had to follow. Pinterest has also helped me narrow down exactly what my style is and what I like, which has been beyond helpful in determining what I want to do with these spaces.
