A Plain Attic Bedroom Is Now a “Little Jewel Box” After a Colorful Redo

Guest rooms are traditionally used to host out-of-town visitors, but because friends and family typically stay for only short periods, it can feel like a waste of space when no one is there. Project Lead for Mira Jean Designs, Jessica Viator, had clients who wanted to make the most of their extra bedroom. “They were craving a space they enjoyed walking into and one that reflected their personalities and flowed better with the rest of the home,” Jessica explains.

This Classic IKEA Side Table Now Comes in a New Dreamy Color for Only $25

Color is a powerful part of decorating your living space. Neutral hues may be easy to work with, but the right pop of color can add beauty and ambiance to your space and even increase your home’s value. Paint is usually the go-to way to bring color into a home, but if you rent then you might not want to (or be able to).Luckily there are plenty of other ways to infuse color into your home that are renter-friendly, like through the furniture items you select. Love the color blue?

A ’90s Bathroom Felt Dingy Until a DIY Redo Added Warmth and Charm

Renovating a dated part of your home poses a difficult question: How do you strike the right balance between making some much-needed changes and preserving the original character of the room? As DIYer Ericka Gularte (@oakandmarsh) found, giving some elements of the room a modern makeover and redoing others entirely made a world of difference when it came to updating her kids’ 1991 standard-build bathroom.

7 Guiding Principles and 5 Ground Rules to Follow When Decluttering

Decluttering can be mentally demanding, as it requires you to make a lot of decisions about items that may have meant a lot to you at one point or another. So before you can actually physically declutter anything, you have to make sure you’re emotionally prepared for it.

This 1960s Bathroom Redo Made Room for a Surprising Amount of Storage

Older homes can sometimes become a hodgepodge of design styles as updates get added over the years. That was the case in Jess Bond’s (The Bond House) bathroom, which was partially original to her 1962 home — but was also partially updated with ’90s upgrades that included a vinyl floor and a dingy, yellowed tub insert.

7 Financial Moves Everyone Should Make in Their 40s

I confess that I thought I would be much further along financially when I reached my 40s. However, between my lack of financial planning, being laid off, and one financial emergency after another, I found myself in a place I never imagined I would be — starting all over again. Honestly, it’s scary how fast your finances and credit can get derailed, and at this stage in life it’s vital to get things back on track as quickly as possible.

Staying in your old childhood bedroom doesn’t usually mean stylish or luxurious accommodations. For most of us, it tends to be a hodgepodge of dated bedding and mismatched decor — and for Amilia James (@rosedoorhome), it was no different.So after redoing her sister’s bedroom at her parents’ house earlier this year, Amilia decided to tackle her own, which her parents had converted into a guest room.

A Laundry Room Was an Eyesore Until IKEA Cabinets Gave It an Organized Redo

Sure, there’s a lot to be said for minimalist decor—but there are places where blank walls just don’t work. One of those is a laundry room. When Ten V (Delish & Decor) and her family moved into their home, for instance, the laundry room was pretty much empty.“When we moved in, we just quickly got a wall organizer to hang all the cleaning tools and a cheap shelf for detergents and fabric softener for our laundry room,” Ten says.

Stop Using a Regular Alarm on Your Phone — Try This Nostalgic Alternative Instead

As hard as it is to believe, autumn is nearly here. It can be sad to see the summer go, but fall is a wonderful time of year and deserves to be celebrated. You can go apple picking, put a simmer pot on the stove, bake a pumpkin pie, or add an autumnal wreath to your front door. There’s another even simpler way to bring some festive, calming fall vibes to your daily routine, and it doesn’t require going on a trip or carving up a pumpkin.

A Dark Kitchen Got a Bright, Neutral Makeover — It’s Anything but Boring!

Even rooms with tall ceilings and large windows can feel dark if the color palette isn’t lending itself to an airy vibe. Pamela Stewart’s kitchen looked “dated, dark, and dreary” — despite the 9-foot ceilings and amazing views of the Arizona landscape. While the walls were white, the floors, cabinets, and countertops were all shades of brown, which made the space feel darker than it actually was.

My Husband’s Quirky Dinner Habit Is Actually the Smartest Productivity Tool

Quirky marriage discovery alert: After years of being together, I noticed that my husband has a unique way of eating dinner. He always eats his veggies first, but not because he particularly enjoys them. It’s quite the opposite. To him, veggies are something to be endured in the name of good health rather than actually enjoyed. So when his meal hits the table, he immediately eats whatever vegetables are on his plate as quickly as possible.
