How to Have an Eclectic Home {in 31 Easy Steps}

by Lindsay Ballard on September 2, 2013 6 Comments

Have you ever wanted to give your personal style a shot in the rear?  A booster shot, if you will, to kick it up a level and really break out of a rut?

Girl (or Boy), I have been there.  In fact, this entire blog is really a testament to what happened when I stopped doing what I thought I should do and starting doing what a I wanted to do.

A few years ago, I wrote a series on how to work towards having an eclectic home.  For 31 straight days (this was a HUGE thing for me then, people), I gave tips, tricks and inspiration on how to have an eclectic style.

It’s been a long time since I mentioned the series, so I wanted to take today to put it out there again in case you missed it or could use a little refresher.  I have added links below to all of the 31 posts so that you could easily take a gander at them in the order they were written.  They aren’t very long, so it shouldn’t take you long to get through them.

Ready?  Here we go!

    You know, this is great! We are in the process of buying our first home (exciting and scary all at the same time). And it is dated, like wood paneling on the walls dated. But I am so excited to get in there and make it our own. I think one of the coziest houses I’ve ever been in had wood floors, where each piece was painted a different color, and rooms that were painted in all sorts of jewel tones. I might not go that crazy, but it’s nice to know that you don’t have to conform to Pottery Barn (not that it’s bad) to be comfortable 😉
