Add beauty without breaking the bank!

Finding the Perfect Décor For Your Home

Summer is moving season – as much as 50% of the nation's moves happen in only three months. Whether you are moving into a new home, prepping your current one for sale, or simply trying to make things more beautiful where you live, décor is probably on your mind.

How do you go about making a home look nice – without breaking the bank? Here are some great tips.

Get the Right Lighting

Light makes a huge difference in any space. Make sure you have what you need throughout your home!

Task lighting in the kitchen can make cooking safer and easier. Desk lamps in the office help you focus without casting a shadow over your work. And beautiful chandeliers can make your dining room a place people love to be.

Also, make sure the bulbs you use are efficient and bright enough for the area. LED bulbs are the way to go!

Use Beautiful Fabrics

Fabric can bring color into your home in a variety of ways.

Of course, the color and pattern of your drapes and furniture is a big part of your décor. However, have you thought about how to use fabric on the wall?

If you can't paint, consider hanging a large piece of colored or patterned fabric up instead. There are tons of fun options, and you can remove – or move – it anytime you want!

Also, think about framing pieces of fabric and placing them as artwork around your home. It's a great economical way to enhance your home.

Make Your Space Comfortable

You want your home to be a place you enjoy – or that future buyers can see themselves enjoying. As a result, it's important to make your place comfortable.

For many people, this means nice furniture and plenty of seating. However, make sure your pieces aren't too soft. You don't want to feel like you can't get up, and a bit of support is good for your back.

You also want to keep things spacious. If your home is smaller, this may be challenging. Avoid clutter, use your furniture to divide space if needed, and keep things clean.

When you're comfortable in your home, you'll love being there – and everything will look better!

Make Your Home Your Own

Putting your own stamp on your home is one of the great privileges we have. We want it to be well-lit, beautiful, and comfortable.

Of course, if you are selling your home, keep things more neutral. But you can look forward to putting your own unique stamp on your next house!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
