Adding a Personal Touch to Your Home {and a $50 AmEx Gift Card Giveaway!!!}

Trends & Inspiration· Uncategorized

The older I get, the more I value the meaning of “HOME.”

A home is so much more that a building with walls and windows.  Whether you live in an apartment, a townhome, a trailer, or a house, there are many things you can do to make it feel like “home.”

Your home is a representation of your family, the things you like, enjoy, or make you smile.

If you are looking for ways to make your home fit (or reflect) your family’s style, Rentals.com has great tips to help personalize your place.

 

 

Click “READ MORE” to read the rest of this post and enter to win a $50 AmEx Gift Card!!

 

 

I found many helpful ideas in their online articles, like How to Decorate Your Rental Home to Look and Feel Bigger, Quick and Easy Ways to Update Your Rental Home Décor, and Tips to Use Space Wisely in Your Rental Home.

Though many of the articles are written for renters, the tips they share in these articles can really be applied to any home.

 

If you’ve recently moved to a new house (like me) Rentals.com has the information you’ll need to make your new home reflect your personal taste.

In the article, Rental Home Decorating Basics, I found some tips on how to find your decorating style.

For example:

Pick up some interior design magazines, browse online or visit your library for ideas.

I LOVE looking through magazines, don’t you?

But sometimes, I forget that I can look at magazines at my local library too.  I need to do that sometime soon!

After looking at many magazines and online resources , I began to find that I am drawn to a cottage feel in my home.

Which explains why I decided to go with open shelving in my kitchen.

Online inspiration, like the picture below, also helped my husband and I decide what type of trim we wanted on our new addition windows.

Now that I feel I have a good handle on what my style is, it is time for me to start finding pieces of furniture for our new addition that fit within my decorating style.

Our new master bedroom is a blank canvas right now.

We have a huge space that needs to be filled with furniture.  I have a few pieces, but I am going to need a lot more, especially for my sitting area.

But I have one main problem:  lack of money.

Oh…you can relate?!  Smile

Well, I found a great article at Moving Today about Finding Cheap Furniture.

They have many suggestions for finding cheap furniture, but here is one I wanted to share:

Another good place to look is at work or school. Check with the office manager to see if there’s an old desk or chairs you can take off their hands. Many office buildings even cycle out their lounge or waiting room furniture every so often, so you may find items for your living room, as well as a home office.

Remember, you can always slipcover a piece of furniture to make it look like new.  For example, I slipcovered an old office chair for my office in our previous home.

Or maybe you could find some old shelves or lockers to  use in your new space.

Lockers are all the rage right now!

So, whether you’ve lived in your home for a while or have just moved into a new one, Rentals.com has tricks to help personalize your home:

Check out this article called, What is Your Home Decorating Style?

 

 

Maybe you are not a home owner yet.  You may be in college or still living with your parents.

When you’re ready for a new place to call home, Rentals.com has the information you’ll need to find the perfect property for your family – choose from rental houses, apartments, condos or townhouses.

    I would buy more holidayish decorations. I’m terrible at getting our house “in the mood” for holidays other than Christmas.

    I’d buy a piece of art for above our kitchen sink. We remodeled the same time you did and the only thing I have hanging up is the wreath above the sink. And it’s from Christmas!! But it’s red and so goes with the decor anyway. So a sign/art for above the sink!!

    We are redoing our half-bath right now. My husband is putting in a new tile floor and I will be painting. I would use the gift card to update the faucet and buy an old-world style map to hang on the one long wall. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Since my son just bought his first home I have an empty room just waiting for me decide what to do with it, I would use the gift for something in there.

    I would love some lighting fixtures in different parts of the house. We took down a lighting fixture when we moved in and have not really settled on anything in it’s place since . We have shuffled things around.

    Thanks for showing my lockers! We actually use them as school lockers. The 6 of my kids that I am currently homeschooling each have a locker for their books. It works out great….looks cute, hides the mess and gives them a teeny bit of the old school experience. :)

    I’m loving watching your new room go up. It’s exciting! Lisa~

    Well being a renter makes it a little harder to find the “perfect” piece of decor because you don’t know what will fit in your next rental (we move for my hubby’s job). I would put it towards an outdoor urn or planter…it’s always nice to decorate the front door area to make you feel more welcome in your temporary home. Plus you can always use them inside as well.

  27. Mami2jcn says

    March 22, 2012 at 11:15 am

    I would buy new bedding!

  28. ali says

    Good tips! Haha, the money thing…yeah! =/ I would work on my bedroom. Our schools recently consolidated here and they had an auction to get rid of a lot of excess stuff. Well, I got the date wrong…ugh. But my sister-in-law and brother-in-law went and bought a few things dirt cheap. One was a big storage unit that would have been in a science lab but the thing I loved was an old wooden double desk. I keep bugging her about it and hope maybe she’ll sell it to me!! :) One can hope!! ;)

  34. Becky D says

    My poor house needs so much work. I think I would probably buy paint to start with. Thanks for the tips on how to find your style – we have lived in our house for 20 years now and our house still looks like we have recently moved in. No real style to it, just pieces of furniture. I definitely need help there :) Another idea for you that you might try… publicsurplus.com You can browse by state and they have everything there from music/art stuff to cars and everything in between. It is your state’s auction site for government buildings like schools, hospitals, etc. I often find lockers on there and I have bought art easels there, picture frames, chairs.. they even have nice furniture sometimes. Just a thought for you :) Have a lovely day!

  35. Lisa in IL says

    I would buy the last two gallons of paint so the north side of my house matched the other 3 sides.

    Perfect topic for me…we live in the house on our church property where my husband is on staff. Ours to live in, but not ours by ownership.
    I think, if I won, I would use it on bedding. Yeah, that’s it…luxurious bedding!
    Remember, making a HOME is not the same as building a house! Thanks, Sarah

    I would probably put the $50 towards adding to my stash of fabric – it’s an addiction!

    I would either pay a babysitter so I can get many of my projects done…. or I would buy composite wood to fix a outdoor bench thats now in pieces. Ahhhh, the projects never end. :o)

    I would buy some pictures for my walls, they are too plain right now.

    I would buy some bead-board wall-paper for my half bath. It’s cheaper than the real thing and easily installed by myself. I don’t get much help from the hubby unfortunately. He will work on outside stuff, in the barn, but when it comes to the things your husband does…nah! He hates redecorating so I pretty much do as much by myself as possible and then reel him in for the final stages kicking and screaming all the way! LOL!! He’s wonderful in every other way just not this.
