My mother always says decorating a house is never truly done . . . which is true, if you consider she's still working on my childhood home after 23 years. I only understood this concept once I moved out and began decorating my own apartment. Every time I would find a cute piece from Target [1] or HomeGoods [2] that I couldn't live without, I vowed to somehow work it into my home.
