Different paint types will result in a completely different look.
By following these tips you’ll have everything you need to choose the right finish for your project and make whatever room your working on sensational.
Let’s get into it, everyone loves to talk about getting the designer look for less!

This is a question I get asked a lot!
What are some great online home decor sources?
Which ones are my favorite?
Long time readers know I’m more than happy to answer all of these questions here today.
While I like to find cool, vintage pieces for my own home at flea markets and estate sales, this answer doesn’t really address the online portion of these questions…
So the closest thing I could think of is when I shop online is eBay
This site is a favorite of mine for smaller home decor items in all different styles.
The good news is these don’t have to be pricey pieces.
I’m all about getting the high-end look for less whenever I can.
For example, I love to collect blue and white jars and vases.
Some are brand new, but I also like to mix it up with older more unique finds.
Mixing the old with the new keeps the color palettes in this collection looking more interesting and less sterile.
Additionally, a quick search of gold Louis Philippe mirrors over on eBay just led me to a similar look to this gold mirror in the first photo above – only a lot less than the original price tag!
If you keep an open mind, you can find some great gems on eBay which will rival even the best antique shops.
Whether your just looking to add a few new accent pieces to zhush up the look of your home or you’re looking to furnish a whole new home – Etsy is fast becoming one of my favorite place to shop online.
In fact one of my best tips is to always source designer throw pillows on Etsy.
Just a little detail like a new pillow in a bold color can make a while room look different, in the very best way.
Pro Tip: Cross referencing both Etsy and eBay whenever you can is a great way to ensure you’re getting a good price!
