Decorating Tips

I’m a use what I have to decorate kind of girl. I’ve had some of the same furniture and accessories for years. Every now and then I give things a little update or add something new to the mix of what I already had.

Because my busy life is focused on a lot of other priorities, I like to keep the process of decorating SIMPLE and DOABLE without too much fuss or expense. I have a long list of little formulas or tricks I use to put my house together in a way that allows me to use what I have and pull it all together.

Today over at The Stories of A to Z I’m sharing three of my decorating tips (plus a few more thrown in for good measure) for staging your accessories. You can use these tips even if you are renting! No construction or destruction involved!

Beth is doing a series featuring home decor bloggers on the basics of Decorating for the DIY’er, so I was honored to be asked to contribute! You’ll enjoy the series, so I hope you’ll check it out!
