I get asked what my decor style is, and I find it hard to label completely, but there is one design style that comes to mind when I think of my decor, MAXIMALIST! Chances are if you read my blog, you might be drawn to something about a maximalist design style.

And DIY the floating shelves with some wallpaper, to make a statement wall and give the feeling and look of a ... Read More
