3 items you’ll need when decorating a new space

New spaces are always so exciting to decorate. I remember when we first moved into our new home; all the ideas and projects in my head kept me without sleep for a couple of nights. But I didn’t mind staying up late thinking on all the possibilities that just one room can provide; almost like a blank canvas!
Still, one year after moving in and there are projects pending and many things we dream on doing. The den (or Florida Room) is one of those areas. At the moment, we are using this small room for the Tv but also is where the girls like to play.

Baskets always come handy. I’ve used them for almost everything and here they are proving a hiding place for all the controls of the Tv and other electronics. My baskets are from BHG at Walmart and can be bought here.

To keep it simple and looking “organized” I found a bookcase from BHG at Walmart Crossmill Collection that perfectly fit one of the walls in this small room. This piece of furniture was very handy in adding a decorative touch while hiding some baskets filled with some of the girl’s toys. Also, it’s the perfect spot to place my decor books and keep them at hand and not hidden.

Another key element in this den were the pillows. These are constantly being thrown into the floor by the girls while playing. I found the perfect set from BHG at Walmart that bring a contemporary and tropical look to the sofa besides concealing any small trail of kid’s overuse. 

I love how this small den is starting to come together and although there are so many other things pending, I can finally sit here and feel like we are getting somewhere! Are you planning on moving to a new place soon? If so, what are the areas you are planning on address first?
