To help inspire you to decorate your home for fall I’ve rounded up the best fall decor ideas this season. This season I’m keeping the decor light, bright, and chic because the only thing scarier than that haunted house your friends want to check out, is tacky fall home decor.

    IKEA Furniture Hacks That Will Make Your House Look Expensive

    Getting lost in IKEA for several hours on a Saturday is my idea of a day well spent. I always seem to find something I could use in my apartment, and with such low prices its almost impossible to leave the place without some candles, a few floating shelves, and new bedroom dresser. One of the best things bout IKEA furniture is how cheap it is. Common people, where else can you get a TV bench for under $100? But just because you’re decorating your house on a budget doesn’t mean you cant turn your cheap IKEA furniture into expensive looking pieces. Simple touches like spray painting the legs on…

    PLANTS FOR EVERY ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE

    Plants are by far my favorite home accessory. They will literally liven up your space (plants are alive people, they even enjoy classical music. Look it up) add so much texture, and provide your space with a pop of color. After unintentionally murdering several succulents I was hesitant to get back into the plant game, but when I found a baby fiddle leaf fig tree at Home Depot I couldn’t resist. I’m SO glad I picked up this little buddy because hes grown at least three feet in two years. I am now completely addicted to growing indoor plants. I literally have a jungle growing in the corner of my…
