We don't need roads

Today, I worked at an event (Fall Fest), found a large-infected bug bite on my arm, went to an urgent care clinic (the doc explained how publix deli could have a sandwich ready for me before my prescription was filled - only $4.99!), and I watched sisters while drowsy due to Benadryl.

5 WAYS TO DECORATE A SMALL HOUSE WHEN YOU HAVE NO STORAGE

So, I don’t blog much but I was so proud of my decoration-storage solutions I came up with yesterday for my living room, I felt like I needed to share. 

I have a townhouse, so storage sometimes becomes an issue. 

Luckily when you’re in the film industry / have tons of books that need to be stored, displaying items instead of tucking them away into an abyss of a closet is the better option. 

1. HAVE A HOBBY/LOVE YOUR JOB? LET YOUR FRIENDS KNOW.

People know what I do just by looking at the decorations in my house. It’s kind of cool getting to display bits and pieces of your memories / favorite things. 

2. DECORATIVE. SHELVES. 

Dude, if you haven’t ever done a DIY project, start here. The easiest thing you can do and not mess up. Wood + paint + L Brackets + an electric screwdriver = your newest favorite home decor item.

3. USE YOUR STORAGE ITEMS AS CREATIVE DECOR.

I literally have piles of books on almost every corner of my home. I just make them look semi cute, put a candle on top of it and BOOM. Done.

4. GOODWILL + PAINT = SUCCESS

Any sort of bin / hutch / storage container can be vamped up with a coat of spraypaint. I suggest neutral colors because I adore neutrals, but a pop of your favorite accent color on a few bins can make you look super organized, even though it might not be your forte.  

5. DO WHAT YOU GENUINELY LIKE. 

Each person’s home is different. What I’ve seen in my friends homes would NEVER work in my weird little L-shaped living room / dining room / office / kitchen. Each room is a canvas you get to play with. Move stuff around! Get the feel for your own space, then decorate around that. I moved my furniture around at least 4 times before I finally fell in love with my set up. 

YOU DO YOU.
