Painted Floors

Sometimes there's no need to replace your old floors for a completely new look. If you're looking for a big change but don't want to invest in replacing your current flooring, then paint might be your answer. For a pop of color, paint your floors a glossy solid color. For added visual interest try creating some sort of design. Stripes or a chevron pattern are simple yet eye-catching. If you're feeling really bold, go for a large geometric or floral pattern. Wood floors can easily be painted, and little did I know you can even paint a tiled floor -- check out Love Stitched for a great tutorial!

Creative Curtain Tiebacks

Installing new curtain tiebacks is an easy way to upgrade a room that needs a personality boost.

• Add a sparkly element to your space by making use of unworn jewelry. Select one, two, or three coordinating necklaces and put them to work as a unique curtain tieback. If you don't have any lying around, some new costume jewelry will do the job. 
• If you're interested in getting crafty, then create a nautically inspired tieback with a bit of rope or cord and heavy duty snap hook. This look is perfect for a home by the water. 
• For a more casual look, lose the hook and wrap some rope around your curtains and attach to a wall-mounted hook. Allow the remaining rope to rest on the floor around your curtains for a perfectly unfinished look. 
• Re-purpose old silverware or door knobs for a truly one-of-a-kind look. Pick these items up at a flea market or second hand shop. If you're not interested in making your own then check out Etsy or Urban Outfitters for a similar look without the work.

Dress-up Your Dresser

Don't let a boring dresser bring down your room. There are plenty of ways to add personality to a dresser that is lacking. From a simple boost to a full on makeover, these ideas are sure to dress-up any dresser.

• Simply painting knobs a different color, or replacing them entirely can create a whole new look.
• Choose a vibrant color and re-paint your dresser for a bold pop in any space.
• Use a large stencil to create an eye-catching pattern or image, and fill it in with a selection of colors that work in the room. This can be done on the front of the dresser, or even the top. 
• Cover drawer fronts with wallpaper, rulers, or just about anything else that you can think of.
