Easy Way To Make Home Updates

Since we moved into our new home almost two months ago, we’ve spent a lot of time merging our furniture and accessories together. For the most part we are both in agreement on what to keep and what needs to go. We both like neutral pieces with small pops of color here and there. But, there’s been a few times that we’ve been kind of “stuck” on what to do to a room or two in our home.

I worked with Havenly, an online interior design company, to re-design my living room at my old apartment and it turned out beautifully. I’ll be doing an updated living room tour soon! We’re working with Havenly again, this time on our dining room area, and have been so pleased with the process again! I feel like our designer totally “gets” our style and aesthetic. Recently Havenly launched their app, making home updates *that* much easier! By downloading the app you can easily chat with a designer for free about even the most simple design needs! No need for sending group texts to friends who have differing opinions anymore! You can get advice from an interior designer and easily make purchases right in the app based on their recs…. seriously so easy! You can download it from the app store HERE.havenly-ios-app havenly-ios-app-2

Today I wanted to also share a few ways to spruce up your space! These are things that you can do gradually to transform a room and make it a little more functional, too!easy-home-updates-resized

      Thanks, friend! Kept it relatively quiet, didn’t really ever “announce” haha! 🙂 I love that they can handle small questions and big re-designs! XO
