Thanks for highlighting that tip. We are wrapping up a big home remodel and I am so excited to be at the decor stage. The demolition stage dragged on forever! Thank goodness our dumpster rental guy was patient with us haha Now that we are to the actual fun part, I needed some help and your post definitely has me going in the right direction. Can’t wait to see what I can find at my local thrift store. Thanks again, Kate!**

We don’t do all of our decorating from second-hand shops; though one of our favorite places to walk and look is the local antique/vintage/retro shop. We both love color. My husband is a collector of Limoges, Royal Daulton, Face Pots, Halcyon Days, and many other lines which are displayed throughout. We don’t actually have a theme or a particular period to our home decorating; eclectic doesn’t sit well with me. So I guess we could call it “olio”. But whatever it is, we love it!

I’m so glad you found some of these tips to be helpful! I can’t recommend rugs enough, specifically when you want to add warmth to your space.

I found it dificult to decorate my home after moving to another house
My TV room is black white and grey
And only use texture for scater cushions but it feel as if something is missing and my.couch is a light grey with black chair and n dark grey carpet. The light grey couch I choose the material and in the big peach it look like it is to light. I do like rosegold How do I do this all together? My walls is just a light colour and I change the dark shutters to very soft curtains to make it more airy. Loce to hear from you

I think I’m definitely going to add an area rug. I usually don’t like rugs because they can be difficult to clean but I think something colorful with short pile will be easy to manage and roll up when it’s time to clean the floors and it will add some coziness to the space.

This is how most women used the separate dining room in the days of a breakfast room and a separate dining room. They became the woman of the houses private room for whatever she wanted/needed. Crafts, art, office writing or even tablescaping.

The pics really helped the ideas land for me, and I’m inspired to add antiques in my newly built home. Love the idea of buying secondhand… better for the planet too. Thank you so much for a well-considered piece!

Right now, I’m digging using my kids art as legit decor. We have a few items of their schoolwork framed but what looks really homey are the pictures I asked them paint on canvas!

It sounds like you found an ideal use for the space! Decorating slowly over time is such a good approach.

Before the pandemic I had so far added a seating area, which only took up half the space; the other half was book-marked for my (future) desk. Then the pandemic hit, and my girls were suddenly home schooling. We brought out two wood folding tables which we put together to make a huge 6′ square school desk. I quickly realized how much I loved that work space! When school wrapped up in June, I immediately re-arranged the desks and it’s now my desk / art / computer area, with enough room for three people (so my girls can come over anytime for art projects). Love it! It’s always been my favorite room in our house, and this was just the thing I needed to get myself actually INTO the space.
