2017 is almost over and we’ve seen some pretty cool trends pop up throughout the year! Thanks to Chip and Joanna Gaines, we’ve all been inspired to transform our outdated homes into something spectacular. From tearing down walls to painting cabinets, many people have taken home remodels into their own hands instead of hiring out. 

On top of making you feel good living in a new and improved space, renovating your home has proven to have some AMAZING and long lasting benefits! The new value on your home is totally worth all the work put in. 

Here are some of our favorite home decor trends this year and some tutorials how to get started!
