I love this post. You nailed it. I do t like moving though, but who does. I’m stopping by from the blog hop. Your blog is great! I hope your enjoying your Thursday evening.
I am so beyond happy I found this via Fresh Fridays! I live in Rome, Italy and while I moved into my new apartment 6 months ago it looks like we moved in.. two days ago! It’s really under decorated (and that’s an understatement!). Absolutely LOVE that coffee table and tray! (I’m back in the USA for a month and I’m trying to quickly gather ideas and buy stuff here).
I really really want to hang things on our walls… however, the walls are about 400 years old and my husband (Italian) is afraid to “ruin” them. Which means it’s baren. Anyways, I’m taking the plunge and going to make him hang things anyways. I love the all white or all black look. However, do you think all black will darken the space? (It’s a dark little apartment).
Wow Madaline, what a life you are experiencing!! I would love to see what you do with the walls. Do they have a patina on them? I seem to prefer white frames for the last few years because they were a nice contrast to all of our traditional furniture and decor. I’ve seen all black frames done very nicely though. White definitely helps lighten a space. 😉 I would love to see pics of your apartment!! Visiting Pretty Thing and Co.
In six weeks I will be making my fourth move in as many years. it’s a daunting task, however, I like you, make each place a home. I hang the things I love and work my pieces in different ways depending on the amount of room. The house I am leaving was much smaller than I am used to, so I look forward to having more space in my new home ( and hoping it’s the last move for awhile0. i left Florida 3 years ago for Canada and I have missed it horribly. I used the natural elements that I had collected in Florida to remind me of a wonderful time in my life. Great tips and I shall keep you on my read list!
Thanks for the comment love Colette. Hanging things and using natural elements are great ways to make a place feel like home, no matter how many times you move! Enjoy decorating your new home in a few weeks. 🙂
Great tips! I especially like the tip about adding natural decor. I live near the beach and you’ll find elements from the beach in my home.
That’s awesome Dana!! I can’t believe how many “dead critters” we have in our house now!! (seashells and such) Thanks for the comment.
