Tired of an old look in your home? Start gathering ideas on a mood board. You can do this in the real world or on your computer. Patterns, colors, even pillows or styles of furniture. Then see how you can add those elements to items you already own. Purchase fabric or paint, and with a little elbow grease, you'll soon have a whole new look!
