When you’re planning your interiors, it’s important to create spaces you love—with or without guests. It’s partly about flooding these areas with light and selecting timeless, elegant and versatile furniture and accessories. But it’s also about your personal attachment to these spaces.

For my post, I wanted to keep it real and do something a little bit different than Holly and Julie. Anyone who talks to me about fashion knows I LOVE finding vintage treasures from the thrift store, and honestly, this post wouldn’t feel ~~authentically me~~ if I didn’t include some of my secondhand scores.

Well-placed lighting can give any room a special feeling. Sometimes people don’t even realize that the reason they love a particular space is because of the lighting. The art of lighting is more subtle than other elements, such as color, texture or size. Yet it can make or break your style.
