Plant herbs for cooking - add some green to your space.
This is especially important if you live in a more urban environment where you might not have access to as much outdoor space. All different kinds of planting options and styles are available to fit your design aesthetic.

Need to add a little ‘spark’ to your walls? Why not take some of the artwork your kids have made over the years and turn it into a special gallery wall?
Get creative with the scale and add other items, such as photos and/or quotes or graphics to complement the artwork.
There is no end to the possibilities!

Feeling a little cooped up? Spending all this time indoors has left us feeling a bit disconnected from our friends and neighbors.
Why not create a really fun wreath that you can hang on your front door? Hey, while you are at it, why don’t you spruce up the front door and paint it a fun new, bright color!
cabinetry refresh

You can refresh your cabinets by simply changing out the knobs. Think of the possibilities for your bathroom vanity, or your kitchen cabinets! Get creative - you can change the finish, shape, and/or size … just be mindful of the other elements within the room.
Not sure what to do? Why don’t you order a sample (or two), before you make the change.
get organized

Ok, this one may not seem as fun as some of the other ideas (although I LOVE organizing), but it is really rewarding once it is done. You can start with smaller projects (medicine cabinet) and then work your way up to the bigger projects (your basement).
If you need help with organizing, we recommend working with a Professional Organizer. They can even help you virtually! We work closely with Stasia Steele, The Little Details.
