If you’re like us, you love taking a peek into the beautiful lives of like-minded women, hence one of the reasons our Mother profiles are our favorite column on our site. Not only are the interviews inspiring and motivating, but the unique homes and decor style each one of them really gets our interior juices flowing. We took a nod from our mothers’ homes, below, and compiled a list of simple, yet effective ways to liven up your space, without having to hire a professional or break the bank!
