We bought this house almost a year ago. Right away we knew this house was much larger than our tiny condo – and we would be separating our small amounts of furniture among two living rooms and a separate large dining room – plus we have four bedrooms now instead of two.

This photo was taken a few weeks after getting set up in our new home..
The big thing we noticed was that we lacked decoration. We needed something to make this house feel like a Home – but because I was anti-decoration in our tiny condo (for some strange reason) we had a long way to go to be ‘homey’.
But it’s getting there now!!

A big thing that we had to invest in was some silk plants. They’re not exactly inexpensive – but when good ones are purchased, they sure do make for a beautiful home – and it takes up the dead space that otherwise looks like something is MISSING!

I am always on the lookout for things that go on the wall or otherwise add color to a drab space. I still have several more rooms to decorate in this home.
I recently got this beautiful plant below from www.silkplantsdirect.com – but I haven’t cleared out all of our Christmas decorations yet to find a place for it. I know it will go perfectly with the rest of the decorations!

This particular plant is so pretty I had to have it right away. I love how it’s sort of wispy but still has a masculine side to it –which makes it an acceptable decorative piece in our home – and it’s sturdy too, so it should last us quite some time.
Having a big home is great but try looking into condos as well. Maybe you don’t need a lot of space. Check PreCondo for more details.
What types of things do you have on your walls? Do you use silk plants to help add life to your home?
