    All About Home Link Party #157

    Hello and welcome to the 157th All About Home Link party! I am just able to “party” for a brief time this evening, as I am super busy getting everything ready for students on Wednesday! Today was my first day back to work for teacher training and getting my classroom ready for a new school year!  I am looking forward to some tea time later tonight to check out the party in more detail. I can’t wait to see the mix of summer and fall posts during this transitional time of year!

     

    Debra and I love getting together each week to host this fun party, and are are looking forward to sharing inspiration with you! Before moving on to the features, here’s what we’ve been up to:

     

    Enjoying Peaches in Recipes and Decor

    In between getting ready for school to start, cleaning house, organizing closets and school clothes shopping, I have just tried to take a little break from blogging any new posts to enjoy what is left of the joys of summer…including peaches. Since August is National Peaches Month, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at this fun older post I shared. Warning: You might just start craving peaches!

     

    Debra shared a wonderful post on Farm Animals in French Country Decor.

    Which Home Improvements Take Priority When You’re Trying To Sell?

    When you’re looking to improve your home, one of the most important guiding principles is to make sure that you keep your purpose in mind. Are you improving it so that you feel more comfortable and at home? Because you want it to meet your changing practical needs? Or because you’re looking to sell and want to get the most money that you can? If it’s the latter, then certain improvements are going to be much more in sync with those goals. Here, we’re going to take a look at a few that you should keep in mind. Read more

    Home Decor Hacks Anyone Can Use

    Everyone wants their home to look nice, which sometimes means changing things around the house. The thought of that could be anxiety-inducing, however. You mightn’t know where to start or what to change. Then there’s how much it could end up costing you.

    Nobody wants to put up with that. Thankfully, a few home decor hacks can make it much simpler and quite affordable. Three particular options can be quick and easy to do, especially once you know what you’re doing.

    While you could need to put a little bit of effort in, it’ll pay off dividends in making your home look and feel more comfortable.

    Home Decor Hacks Anyone Can Use: 3 Quick-And-Easy Options

    1. A New Rug

    If you have wood, stone, or tile flooring, you’d be surprised by how much of a difference a nice rug will make on the room. Picking up the right option is essential to this. There are more than a few options to choose from, such as Amber Lewis rugs.

     

    Choose pillows and other decorative accessories to coordinate with the rug for a cohesive look.

    2. Chalkboard Drawing Board

    Did you know that you could turn an entire wall into a chalkboard? Doing so doesn’t need to take as much effort as you’d think, as all it needs is a special chalkboard coating. While this will be more expensive than typical paints, it’s still a quick and easy home decor hack to make a room look nicer.

    With this, you can draw on the wall whenever you want. You’ll change its appearance with ease without needing to worry about any more costs. If you want, you could even go with a whiteboard option instead.

    3. Painting A Feature Wall

    A feature wall ties a room together while drawing more attention to itself and making everything look a little nicer. It also helps to add a sense of more space when you’re in the room. You don’t need to put too much effort into this, and it can be much simpler than you’d think.

    Simply painting it a contrasting color from the rest of the room could be all you need. When you’re doing so, it’s best to follow a few rules of thumb. The most notable of these is to make sure the color you choose is darker than the other walls. Doing so creates more depth and makes the room seem larger.

    You could even add a few highlights or patterns to make it look nicer.

    Home Decor Hacks Anyone Can Use: Wrapping Up

    There are more than a few home decor hacks you can use to make your home look and feel more comfortable. Figuring out where to start can be difficult, but each of the above can be welcome changes to your house.

    Before you know it, your home could feel completely different. Since the above shouldn’t take much effort to do, there shouldn’t be anything stopping you from taking advantage of them.
