Hello friends! I’m taking it easy with family this week, but I’m already excited for the new year and the home projects I want to tackle. I hope you had a lovely holiday and are enjoying the end of the year as well.
I love sharing ideas about home and decor whenever I can. For several years I’ve written articles for a variety of sites around the web, including eBay, where you can find free, practical decorating advice in article form. I often post links to those pieces on Facebook for followers, but I don’t always share them here on the blog. A reader recently reminded me she enjoys those eBay posts and suggested I feature them here more often — so I compiled a selection of my most popular home-related posts and decorating tips for you.
Below are some of the best decorating ideas and guides I’ve written that can help you refresh your space and make your home more inviting in the coming year.
