Decorating Tip: Day 30

Woohoo. I am almost at the end of this 31-day writing challenge. It has been made even more challenging by work, kids' sporting events, and illness. And, while I have really missed the less structured way that I usually write posts here, this project has made me think about the blog in some new ways. I expect there to be some changes.

Moving on to today's tip...


Open the curtains and let the light shine in!

This beautifully staged room has no curtains -- which is another tip: Add curtains to soften a space -- but I love, love, love the way the photo shows the light coming in! 

A third tip is to Turn on Lamps for Added Light and Warmth. Which always reminds me of this scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. It's my favorite movie, and since my husband and I watched it on our first date, it's extra special now.
