How to Achieve Shabby Chic Style?

Shabby Chic is an eclectic style that combines rustic furnitures with pastel colors, lace or florals. If you love this style, then you are in luck because achieving this look is very cheap and easy.

Here are some tips when decorating:

• Paint the room white. This is the easiest way to create a dreamy look in your home.
• Add touches of pastel. 
• Use earthly or natural accents. I used burlap and made it into a small window curtain.
• Salvage fixture is the focal point of our small kitchen. We used a mason jar and made it into a sconce. A cheap and easy way of lighting up the room.

The stormy weather this weekend has inspired me to cozy things up in our bedroom. To create this neutral pallet, I used black throw pillow and a grey duvet.  I also added a cream rug to complete this monochromatic look in our bedroom.

In decorating, a vignette means grouping of objects that creates a pleasing focal point and adds character to your space. Below are tips on how to create simple vignettes in your home.

1. Choose a space. It could be a nightstand in your room, a table in your hallway or even your vanity.

2. Gather accessories that reflect your lifestyle. By doing this, you tend to pick pieces that is a reflection of your personality and makes the selection process much easier. 

3. Group in odds. 

4. Stand back and edit. The beauty of creating vignettes is that you can always keep them fresh by shifting accessories from one room to another. So don't be afraid of shaking things up. 

Happy decorating! 

Organizing the closet in our bedroom is quite a feat as we moms struggle with both space and usage. We tend to hang on to things that are absolutely unnecessary and also our failure to eliminate clutter.  The idea of an open closet seems daunting but this project can easily turn a plain simple wall into a great focal point in your room.

DIY Pallet Bed

This is a very simple project that we did last year. All you need are 6 pallets and a can of white paint. We used 6 standard size pallets(1.1m x 1.1m) for our queen size bed.
Just layout the 4 pallets to form a square and the remaining 2 pallets as headboard. Use the room of your wall to make you headboard stand up. No hammering or nails needed!
