Don’t you just love a good room makeover? Me too!  And I especially love it when it’s dramatic! And you can make the simplest of changes sometimes and still make a BIG difference.  For me, it’s all about the bedding.  You can add a new floral quilt, and it can dramatically change the look of your room instantly!

 My husband and I are in the process of making a lot of changes in the house.  A while back we swapped out the furniture.  Shortly thereafter I purchased new bedding, and last week we moved the furniture to an entirely new room.

Even something simple, like noticing how the outside of your home looks as you walk up to it, can influence how you feel once you step into your newly refreshed space. If you have been updating paint colors, swapping out textiles, and leaning into a cleaner, more modern vibe indoors, it can be worth considering whether your siding still fits the overall look you are creating. You do not have to tackle everything at once, but keeping your updates cohesive can make your home feel intentional from the outside in.creating.
