Very few of us have it in our budget to go out and spend hundreds of dollars to make our house look like the home we really want. But, it is important to create a sanctuary, a haven, for yourself and your family and to do so frugally. Here’s a few tips to Style Your Home with Unique Pieces to show off your personality and style!

Finding fun and stylish accessories is easy to do when you shop in the right places. Etsy, craigslist, garage sales and vintage shops are all good places to find that special touch for your home that makes it your very own. You can add personality to your living space while supporting individuals or small business and by being green by re-using items.

One of the places I’ve found that you can find unique items that are new and vintageย is Etsy. Etsy is an online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade. There are over 2,000,000 items for sale by 200,000 sellers from around the world. I’ve thought about opening a shop several times, but haven’t dove in yet! What’s neat is that you can go shopping by color, time, geographic location, connected hearts, member-curated galleries, categories and more! That way you can find pretty much anything you want!

Just changing out a few throw pillows, adding a vase to a table or a wreath to your front door can make a huge difference in the feel of your home.ย Adding unique pieces will give your home that warm, lived in feeling thatย makes it feel like home.

Finding your own unique style is important in all that you do…your clothes, your home and your decor. So, the next time you feel change coming on, try finding a one of a kind piece of furniture or accessories by shopping local or by using online resources. It can make all the difference of either a bland, boring home or a lived in, beautiful home!

You can also use Pinterest to keep track of all your inspiration! Make sure to check out my boards. I have a ton of inspiration there!
