I’ve always had a hard time putting a name on my decor style.

Eclectic. Colorful. Maximalist.

All of these are true, but SO much of my style has evolved from necessity. I tried so many of the trends and they just didn’t fit or serve our family.

As a big family of 6 (in a small house that we are staying in for the near future), I’ve realized that while White looks amazing in photos, lots of hands/ plaster walls tell otherwise during the day to day.

Houses shouldn’t make MORE work for us on the daily…they should serve us and hug us when we come home.

Enter COLORFUL walls and the mantra of “using what you’ve got”.

Color covers. It’s as simple as that. And for a house with a ton of people that is worth it’s weight in gold. While I LOVE the results of a good Magic Eraser scrub (#notsponsored), I’m thankful that using quality Clare Paint (#notsponsored) has made painting a breeze with minimal/ no cleaning!

While watching the HGTV special “Barbie Dreamhouse” I realized that my decor choices are similar to Barbie. Color palette and all. Thankfully my Ken is all for it and embraces the fun.

Home is where we LIVE. So make it serve YOU.
