These motorized roller shades from @smartwingshome

These motorized roller shades from @smartwingshome are the final missing piece to this living room makeover! I just love how easy they are to use with the remote or as part of my home automation. The color is the perfect neutral and the linen provides great light-filtering. These are the SmartWings Motorized Light Filtering Roller Shades 70% Blackout Linen, color Caramel.

🌟The living room I bought versus the one I created. 🌟 The number one thing I’ve learned in DIY, is to follow and know the trends, but ultimately find your own style and create what you love, and what you are your family are comfortable in. #diy #diyhome #livingroom #moderntraditional

Here are 5 tips for styling your shelves! 👇

1️⃣ Balance: vary shapes, sizes, and height to create visual interest

2️⃣ Color Coordination: You can group similar colors together or use gradients of a color palette. An easy way to do this is to stick with either warm or cool tones.

3️⃣ Layering: Place larger items at the back and smaller items in front to create depth and visual intrigue, or small items on top of large.

4️⃣ Negative Space: Leave some empty space to allow the eye to rest and to highlight the items you’ve chosen to display.

5️⃣ Personal Touches: Incorporate items personal to you such as photos, artwork, or keepsakes to make the shelves feel more personal and reflective of your style and interests.

These doors are DONE! This was a labor of love but I am happy with how they turned out! The reeded film over the plexiglass keeps the playroom mess out of sight, but the room feels a bit more open this way. More details in highlights! #diyhome I used @retiqueliquidwood to cover the chalk paint without any sanding!

I’m making progress in this living room! Next step is to take these beat up, painted doors and make them look like new French doors! I cut large holes in the middle of them and am going to make a plexiglass insert. Here’s hoping!
