May 14th is Mother’s Day, the day that we say thank you to the women in our lives who taught us, shared with us, and guided us through life to adulthood. Many people celebrate by taking their mom out, but no one says you have to even leave the house! Here are some terrific ideas about how to entertain your mom at home this Mother’s Day.
Take on a Project Together
Is there something around the house that you know she has been meaning to get to, but never did? Why not help her take it on, and make the project fun! Whether it is working on the garden, the scrapbook she always wanted to finish, or painting the living room, this is a perfect opportunity to lend a hand, while creating fun memories with your mom!
We all have that one thing in our living room that bothers us. Maybe it is excessive amounts of trinkets with nowhere to put them, or maybe it is the layout of the furnishings, but regardless of what your living room woes may be, it bothers you day in and day out. That is what we are here for! Here are some designer tips on how to create a perfectly styled living room and transform your “woes” into “wows”.
Stylish Storage:

Today’s trend in the living room is to navigate away from the traditional bookcase and replace it with a stylish shelf with tasteful fabric boxes to hide anything you may not want on display. As an added bonus, you can choose boxes that compliment the colours in the room! Other storage ideas include a tiered coffee table, ottomans, and nesting tables.
