Have you ever wanted to style your home and you went to HomeGoods or Target without a plan, only to buy a bunch of stuff that ends up becoming clutter?

It is possible to elevate your home’s look WITHOUT trips to the store or wasting money on things that don’t align with your true style and home aesthetic.

Today I’m talking to return guest Dani Watson - wife, boy mom and former first grade teacher turned home decorator and host of the fig + farm at home podcast. Dani is on a mission to teach REAL moms with REAL budgets how to break free from the Pinterest perfect trap in order to create homes that they delight in...all on a budget.

We talk about the importance of understanding the foundation of your style and color palette BEFORE you ever use your credit card and why this is so critical to creating a home you love.

 

She also takes us step-by-step through the process of styling a bookshelf, something I never knew I needed!
