She reimagined her bedrooms, living space, and bonus game room for the big kids every couple of years by choosing new themes, changing up the paint, switching out pieces of furniture between rooms, and adding some new accessories. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I definitely did this as we moved into our new house this November, instead of just transferring the same old look we had for years from one home to another. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I talked about updates to our kids’ rooms and shared some projects I worked on in my parents’ home a few years ago, when we created a nursery for the grandkids using furniture they already had in other rooms. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Highlights from this episode: </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{4:14} Reimagine your space</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{9:07} Walk around your house and note the things you like the most</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{14:31} Repurpose your furniture</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{14:16} The importance of letting kids find their style for their spaces</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{21:24} Find ideas to refresh your space on Pinterest</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Mentioned on this episode: </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use chalk paint to transform old furniture</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add decorative accessories like pillows and throws</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add a loft bed for more space for a
