• 316 // 5 FAVORITE budget friendly places to shop

  Hey friend! Do you ever wonder where you should be shopping for cute budget friendly home decor? So was Rosmarie. In today's episode she asks: "Dear Dani, I'm curious...where are YOUR favorite places to shop? Are all stores/sites created equal? What I mean: sometimes I wonder if I should focus my attention on some items at some stores and while avoiding other items. Does that make sense?" It ABSOLUTELY does make sense. To craft a well-curated home, only shopping at one place would be putting your design style in a box, but you are much more storied and nuanced than that and your home should reflect it! In this episode I'm sharing 5 items and WHERE I shop for them. Do I shop at box stores? Sure, but only for certain items. Do I shop at boutiques? Yup...again for certain items. Listen in for the run down of where I shop and what I shop for. The five items I cover: 1. Home decor items (likely THE MOST IMPORTANT for creating nuance in your design) 2. Artwork 3. Textiles: pillows and throw blankets (sneak peek: I DON'T shop for these at the same place) 4. Small furniture 5. Large (or statement) furniture 6. Bonus: area rugs (sneak peek: it's more about the brand than the location)   Where do you shop?

• 315 // These 5 things could be keeping you from decorating your home

  Hey friend! How do you feel about excuses?! Sometimes I think of excuses as trying to make one feel better about their lack of confidence or understanding - maybe a little bit of misinformation. In my line of work I hear excuses all the time. Sometimes it's purely based in the excitement of finally making a breakthrough, but their excitement went before their intentional planning. I could list all of the ways I hear excuses during a project, but the ones that are most profound (maybe even a bit sad) are the ones that explain why someone doesn't want to invest in the way their home looks. Invest, here, does not equal a monetary exchange. Invest could be time related, learning related, decision making related...basically, thinking they, their families or their homes deserve any TLC or attention. These are the five most common excuses I hear re: why someone does not want to invest in their home: 1. It costs too much 2. Fear of making mistakes 3. Overwhelmed by so many choices 4. They have animals or kids, so they can't have nice things 5. They are just really bad at it and can't learn In today's episode, I'm sharing why these 5 excuses are just that...excuses.

• 314 // Elevate the look of your home with these easy (and FREE) tips

  Hey friend! Are you wanting to elevate the look of your home without breaking the bank like listener Gabby? She sent in a question asking for my best tips to do just that - and I had a hard time stopping. These 5 tips are just the top of the iceberg when wanting to change your space for the better - giving it a little glow up. 1. Declutter: Really...if you stopped here, you'd have the potential to elevate your home considerably.  2. Freshen up worn pieces: Giving tired pieces a little extra TLC - a fresh coat of paint or stain will go liven your home. 3. Check your color palette: Do you have an intentional color palette with one foundational color and a couple of accent colors? Are those colors flowing throughout your open concept home? If not...this is a great place to start. 4. Check the scale and proportion of your items: If things look too small, too big, too full, too short, too wide - it could be throwing off the balance of your room. Adjusting the scale of items that are mis-proportioned is a big step toward elevating your home. 5. Repetition of design elements: Know the difference between repetition and too much of a good thing. Repeating design elements like color, metals, wood tones, etc. ties your room together making it look cohesive.   Cohesiveness is at the core of having an elevated looking home.   Ready to learn more?

• 313 // LIVE Coaching with Kristen: creating a cohesive decor plan when working with a dominant couch

  Hey friend! Have you ever wondered how to make oversized sectionals an intentional part of a room's design or are they always destined to ruin the aesthetic of the room? In today's episode I'm chatting with Kristen, the owner of a large black (very cozy looking) sectional. The sectional, however, takes up considerable space within her room and although black makes sense, she also has a white armchair in the same room. With two contrasting colors the question became - how do you make the room look cohesive without starting over from scratch and spending a fortune on another sofa? You'll hear the answer to that question as well as many others inside this sneak peek of a Decorating SOS coaching call. Are you ready to book YOUR Decorating SOS Coaching Call?

• 312 // Think you stink at decorating? Build your home decorating confidence with these 5 tips

  Hey friend! I get it...when you think you stink at something, it's not super motivating to keep doing it. Right? But learning how to decorate your home is just that - it's a learned skill. Similar to riding a bike, tying your shoes, or baking a cake - you weren't born knowing how to do it, so why should you expect home decorating to be any different? Inside this episode I'm responding to Tracy's Dear Dani letter - trying to bolster her decorating confidence after years of feeling unsuccessful (and now stuck) in the way her home looks and feels. She's wanting a change, but feels a bit scared to give it another go. 5 Tips for building your home decorating confidence 1. Start small: Start with low risk changes rather than expensive (both in time and money) changes that might not work out. Shop the house, rearrange the furniture, get rid of things are all great examples of starting small. 2. Practice with a test run: If you're contemplating change, try mimicking that change and practicing the look before committing any money to it. Listen to the podcast for an example. 3. See it before you decide: Before you buy anything, try taking a screenshot of it and placing it on a word doc so you can see how the items look all together. Once you like it, then try it. 4. Progress over perfection: Just like learning any new skill, it's about the progress rather than perfection. You will make mistakes - like anyone learning a new skill, but using some of the tips will help you practice you home decorating muscles so you begin limiting the amount of mistakes you are making. The end goal - to love your home better than you do today. That happens with progress over time rather than perfection. 5. Hold on to Rules loosely: Let the rules be a companion in decision making ONLY if they are helpful. Not sure what size of curtains to get? Find the rules and let those inform your decision making.   YOU'RE INVITED!!!! To my FREE 5 day LOVE YOUR HOME CHALLENGE!! Happening February 10 - 14th inside your INBOX. Each day for five days, I'll be delivering a short video lesson that teaches you the 5 core principles of home decorating.
