Picture of the Day

The beauty of decorating a room in your home is similar to this image's beauty. In this image, there are several small images that connect to one another to form the big picture. If any one of the little pieces was missing, the image would lose some of its present allure.

When focusing the eye on one of the little blocks alone, it has less appeal and lacks a distinct purpose. But when it is viewed with the picture as a whole, its significance is apparent.

Each fragment of decor in your home can be viewed in the same light as any one block from this image. Every decoration ties together to create the bigger picture- the room. Every bit of decor must be artfully linked to comprise the final design. Just like this image, symmetry and careful placement are important in the room's design.

Any one decoration might not look sensible on its own, but blends with every other piece to spring a certain dazzle in the room. Like pieces of a puzzle, each bit of decor is deliberately chosen and placed to fit in with the big picture.

In this sense, decorating can be viewed as its own art form. It is strategic, thought-out, and beautiful.

Just like a piece of art, your home reflects your own style and character. You get to create this space all on your own and make its beauty come to life. It is your personal expression, and you get to decorate accordingly.

About This Blog

A fun and trendy living space can be reality for anyone—even broke as a joke college students living in a tiny apartment or house.

When I began living solo (about two years ago) was when I developed a passion for decorating. The way my home looked was a reflection of me and my style.

I love that through decorating, I can express myself.

A well-decorated home is, well, homey! It is your creation to be prideful of.

I began reading decorating blogs, such as The Inspired Room and various magazines in search of decorating tips. I gathered up all of the tips and inspiration possible and began applying it to my home. 

However, like many college students first living on their own, I don’t have much extra cash floating around.

I gathered my newfound decorating ideas and searched for the most affordable stores to enable me to spice up my décor on a very tight budget. Quickly, I discovered that a stylish home can be created without spending copious amounts of cash.

Now, I want to share with all of you some decorating tips, inspiration, and guidelines so you can apply them to your own home.

I will also share some of my favorite stores to browse for inexpensive trendy décor, because a stylish home does not have to break the bank.

I hope you enjoy my posts, and maybe discover some inspiration of your own. Please feel free to comment any of your own thoughts, tips, favorite stores, questions, or even critiques of my thoughts. 

I appreciate you reading and would love to hear from you!
