But for today, let me show you what you can do with a small living space like ours! I love a fresh, clean room with crisp colors. I tend to lean towards neutrals with a pop of color. When you especially have a small space like ours, a clean and light colored style is the way to go! Dark colors will only make it look smaller.
When you're still in the renting stage like us, having a book shelf like this one here is the perfect way to display some home decor! I scored this off a friend of mine for $50 and just switched out the knobs for some cute mercury glass knobs from Hobby Lobby. (Yes ours has a hair tie wrapped around it so our toddler will stop getting into it!)

I just realized our toddler yet again probably messed with our books. Oh the joys of having a toddler that is just the right height for nice things :)
Decorate with pictures of the ones you love, books, small plants, candles, and little knick knacks (like this cute little cake stand I found on a Facebook selling group!) I like using colorful books because they really add depth and height to your shelving. Greenery or flowers really add a freshness to your home (even if they are fake!)
I've mentioned it on my Instagram before but shelving just stresses me out! I know it may sound silly, but finding the right items to pair with each other is tricky. I'm a perfectionist but having kids have really toned that down. I know nothing in your home can be perfect or stay perfect!
Another way to fill your walls is either doing the famous gallery wall or getting these wonderful IKEA shelves to make it easy for you.
I added these cute spring pillows I scored on sale at T.J. Maxx to brighten up the couch and the room as a whole!
Here is our unfinished gallery wall. I get too stressed about it and still haven't found the right things to put together.
That "Family is forever" canvas sign is one of my favorite pieces I own. I scored it at T.J Maxx for $10!
We installed this shelf from Home Depot as our "mantle" above our unused fireplace. It's where I usually do my holiday decor as well. I love mixing silver and gold and this gold frame with one of my very favorite hymns holds dear to my heart. Josh gave this to me for Christmas last year and it's a perfect addition to our home!
And last of all, a wonderful reminder for us all. I like to put a picture of the Savior by the door. It's a notable reminder of His example before we walk out and to keep His spirit within the walls of our home.
