31 Days of Hidden Potential


I’ve enjoyed reading through themed posts every October over at The Nesting Place. This year I decided to join the fun with an October series of my own! I was debating a few themes, and finally settled on this one. I'm so excited to get started!
Have you ever seen the HGTV series Hidden Potential? It’s a favorite at our house. The premise of the show is a designer helps a family find a home, but he chooses houses that are below their budget (and usually in need of improvements). He then shows them drawings of what the house could look like if they make the improvements and the family usually finds they can get the house they always wanted for less than they thought. It’s a super fun show, and was the inspiration for my 31 days.

So without further ado, I would like to introduce you to - “31 Days of Hidden Potential - finding beauty in you home on a budget!” My goal is to do the best with what I have and spend as little as possible to make my home prettier and more functional. Because we all want a beautiful home without breaking the bank. For the rest of this month I will be finding the hidden potential in things and spaces all around my home, and I hope I will inspire you to do the same. 

I'll add a link here each day so you find  the posts all together once it's over:
