*HOME TOUR UPDATE*

Here is a little update to my original home/studio tour!

I've been having a lot of fun reading through the Style Your Space E-Course by Rachel Denbow - it has so much great advice.  I've mentioned before that we rent an apartment in a 100 year old house that has great wood floors & windows, but a lot decorating challenges, too!  Here is some cute artwork I made using one of the course tutorials:

The course covers some helpful topics like "working with what you've got," "scale, balance, & composition,"   "rules to follow / rules to break, " and my favorite "dealing with ugly."  There are also DIY projects, inspiring house tours, and tips for photographing your home.  Finding  your style can be a challenge when you are on a tight budget, renting, or just starting out so it's really helpful to have a bunch of advice and how-to's from an expert!

I got inspired to rearrange our books around the non-functional fireplace (I found a similar fireplace arrangement here on Apartment Therapy).

Then I was able to re-use the bookshelf for storing shoes & accessories in the bedroom - something I've been needing since we moved in last year!  The ceramic bowls on top hold jewelry and the vintage train case   has scarves and other cute stuff inside.

I also hung a few pieces of artwork... I don't get to do too much of that because nails don't agree with our plastered walls.  These pieces were all light enough to hang with tape: )

There's no place like home!
