A Mommy Makeover with Just One Piece…
As females, I think we all love to nest. It’s built into our DNA. We’re supposed to fluff and feather and gather all of the pretty things around us to make a home of style. I know I do! But, you can easily break the bank on this stuff.
I’m starting a new series here, that is not about a total home re-do-wallet kill, but finding that singular item that you love, and placing it in your home for immediate gratification and style. It’s an easy makeover.
When you walk into your home and that particular makeover space, it should have in it the things that just make you feel good! Over time, you can add more and more singular items, allowing time for budgeting, and then your space shapes and evolves, which is more fun anyway!
A good place to start in the home is the living room. Maybe you have an old couch handed down, or it’s not quite your style, but you can alter the look and style of your space by focusing on the coffee table or side table as an easy choice. If you want to makeover modernize it a bit, switch out your coffee table to something like this:
Large Circles Coffee Table by Michael Arras…
It’s offered in a variety of wood stains and even orange, green and yellow if that’s the look you need. It’s modern, but still timeless for your home. As another makeover idea, try setting something interesting on any of your surfaces in your home, which is the most easy and affordable way to start, like this
Made to Order Re-purposed Book Page Letter K by Little White Dog…
Or just a simple set of Yummy Fried Eggs Coaster Set by Chapulin…just fun!…
Maybe a change out of your side table is a better option for you, especially if you need something more rustic and traditional in style to soothe anything too harsh and modern, or to blend your makeover look more. I love this mix below, from
Barnwood Side Table by Modern Arks…
Are tables too expensive still to tackle? Then always go for a lamp change. That one lamp in your makeover area of your home can just make it, and when that light is on in the evenings, it’s even more fabulous.
Lamps like shoes, can complete the outfit or break out of the mold! They are truly your style marker. Don’t forget, you can always just change a shade too for a new, easy look!
Here’s a great lamp to shape any room…
The Smooth Rock Lamp from A Wandering Soul…so simple, soothing and lovely!
Another option if you can’t buy a new piece is to change the hardware on something old, and why not go for something unexpected like this
Fused Glass Drawer or Pull in Retro Brown Red by Knobs and Pulls on Zibbet…
And you could just add an accent pillow on your couch or chair to compliment them…so easy…
This is Esoneofone’s Luxury Gold and Lace Pillow
Here’s a very clever way to update any hand me down furniture style you think you are stuck with…switch the fabric or paint, especially on chairs and benches, where removing the seat cushions and recovering them is a pretty simple and easy task. Just unscrew, unstaple, recover, staple and screw again. Voila!…you get a makeover with that great mix of old and new like this
Shabby Chic Jacobean Chair by Grey Maggy…
Or another Grey Maggy makeover…look at what you can do at home with an old Dining Room set from Grandma!…
This one will take a little extra budgeting, but is a singular piece makeover to satisfy both Mommy and Daddy. Not easy to do, right?…
What is your singular piece makeover in your home?
