And it was ridiculous.. And it kind of made me mad..

I always used to read suggestions like “Take down all of the curtains in your house and switch them out for flowy white cotton ones instead.” Or “Switch out your large area rugs for something more natural and beachy-feeling.” Or “Bring the outdoors in!Simply have your personal carpenter knock a hole in your living room wall and install 6-8 french doors, then install a patio made of imported limestone and create a second living room outside to create a flow between the two spaces.”.
