Add A Little Coziness Without Spending a Dime

Today I want to show you that

even with limited resources

you can ADD some Coziness to a room using only what you have on hand.

Some of us are not "keepers" in other words if we don't use it --- we get rid of it, or there may be some of you who are starting out in a new house and have very little to work with.

So I will show you how you can take a few items from other rooms and use them to create a comfortable feel in the space we are working on.

Now you may not want to keep those items in the new space, but

I am wanting you to see what is possible

so that when you do have the resources to get a few items you know what it feels like to have that in your space.

Living Room --- BEFORE --- Two sofas and a piano


AFTER
1. We moved the piano in the corner so that when you come in the room it is the Focal Point.
2. We took some Artwork from the hall and the storage and hung them on the wall.
3. We found a bookcase in the office, it really helps to have

some piece of furniture that you can display accessories on, and to add some weight and balance to the wall.
(it could be a table, desk, or bookcase)


BEFORE



AFTER
We found some pillows in the playroom. The homeowner really did not like them, but was so surprised at how much they added to the couch (having a few solid pillow colors) We also added a small blanket on the arm of the sofa, as well as a quilt in the basket on the floor.
Fabric makes a real difference.

AFTER


Tables really add, they are a place to put a lamp, some books or a drink, so that you want to hang out in that room.
We took this one from the family room.

You know that I love LAMPS . . . if you do only one thing add a lamp and it will feel more cozy.
We took the lamp from the bedroom.
Notice on the table I have one lamp, some greenery (Natural Elements) and a frame.
Three items on the table and it works---SIMPLE.



In this BEFORE the one picture on the wall feels a little lonely.

In the AFTER see how we added a couple of other pieces and it feels more like a unit.

Again --- see the pillows the greenery and the lamp.

So without spending any money the room feels Cozier, and the family wants to be there.

Isn't that why we do this?

So our family and friends will want to come and spend time in our home.

AND IT'S REALLY FUN!

Now YOU go give it a try.

I am joining in Metamorphosis Monday go and check out other before and afters.
