Hi friends! I’m out of town this week enjoying a little time away with my husband, so I’ve been mostly offline (except for a few updates on my Insta stories) but I wanted to pop in quickly to answer a question from my last post.
I thought many of you would find this helpful, so here’s the question and my answer:
“Hi Melissa! 🙂 I love this post. Have you ever written a post about how you draw inspiration from these photos and then practically apply it in your own house? On a budget? It would be fun to see how your brain works! :)”
Yes — I have a whole series called “Takeaway Tips.” Below I’ve shared several favorites from that series and a quick note on how I use inspiration photos to create practical, budget-friendly changes at home.
Before I list the posts, I’d love to hear from you: what types of blog content do you enjoy most? What would you like to see more of this fall when I return to a regular schedule? Tell me in the comments!
