Do you believe that what you think can influence your life? If the only word you find to describe your living room is blah, you’re letting your thoughts affect your feelings.
A blah room is uninspiring and dull.
I’ll bet if you felt that way about the clothes you wore, you’d go shopping for some new pieces or accessories to jazz things up, right?

Why would you live with décor that made you feel that way and expect to feel differently without making changes?

Ah, the small house… It’s often described as charming, cozy and quaint. But what you don’t hear it described as roomy, accommodating or versatile. That’s because unlike larger homes with space to spread out and grow, smaller homes are finite, and you have to work with what you’ve got.
There’s no “bonus” room that lacks definition, or a great room in addition to the family room and living room. Nope, the small house is purposeful. Bedroom(s), kitchen, living, and bath are all exactly what they are intended to be with little wiggle room for any other purpose.

Maybe you’re fed up with the lumpy sofa and you can go through one more Netflix binge on something that feels like you’re sitting on a bag of sand and rocks.
But, if your room has a tricky layout or architectural obstacles, you may be hesitating to pull the trigger on new furniture.

It’s been a while since I’ve created a DIY. I can tell you that I’ve missed the creative process immensely. I’ve been thinking about this one for a while and trying to figure out the best way to make it happen. It’s easy to put together a photo collage of different pictures but I thought how cool it would be if I could take one picture and blow it up to a large picture photo grid format.
