Your Signature Color Palette - best of series Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

We've talked about creating your own signature style HERE

But you know what's just as important? We think it's developing your own signature color palette. It's important to decide what colors you want to use. Limiting these colors to your signature ones, will help your home to feel cohesive. It helps when you want to move things from one room to another, and it makes it easier when you are shopping for decor. Try to stick to 3-5 colors for your palette.

We mentioned the episode about china cabinets. Take a listen if you want to go topless HERE

You'll also want to listen to the episode about the color rules HERE

Take a listen to our episode all about using complementary colors HERE

We are crushing on...

The "B" Word - BUDGET! Beautiful on a Budget - best of series Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

We all have a budget, and it's so hard to stick to it. Today we're talking about how to not blow your budget, and we've got some of our favorite tips to share. Staying on budget means that you need to think about the long haul, and not about instant gratification. Sometimes you have to wait for that special thing. Don't fall into the trap of buying filler pieces that you don't don't really like. It's okay to have empty spaces in your home.

Be sure you know what items cost, then you'll know it when you see a good price.

We've done a few other episodes on budget decorating that you can find below.
