Take creative risks
“Take creative risks! We have come up with some unusual ideas when repurposing, upcycling, or designing furniture and interiors. Some have worked and some haven’t. If you agree to be honest with yourself once you’re done, you can put that analytical stage off long enough to let yourself explore the possibilities.”

Don’t take things too seriously
“Don’t take decorating your home too seriously! If you overthink everything I think your space will reflect that. I don’t presume to know what I’m doing when it comes to decorating. I’ve probably broken hundreds of “basic” rules, hanging things too high, too low, too far apart or close together, and so on. But I so enjoy the process of transformation and seeing the fruits of my labor. Our home reflects who we are as a young, high energy family, and I love that. Your home should be as unique to you as your fingerprint.”
