Happy New Year!

Each year, I like to switch up my room a bit. Whether I move my bed or desk or add a few new wall hangings, I love a little change. New year, new room decor? Check out some of these creative ways to spice up your room this year. The first section is DIYs and the second section is decor you can buy all ready to go.

DIYs

DIY Succulent Vertical Hanger

I absolutely love this. Succulents are easy-to-care-for, durable plants that are perfect for dorm rooms, offices, and homes. If you click the picture below, you will be taken to a site on how to create this DIY plant hanger. If this seems a bit complex, start out with just the potted plants to spruce up a room.

DIY Macrame Plant Hangers

I got into making these hangers last summer. They're so fun to make and turn out beautifully! The twine knotting can be as complex or as simple as you want. Look up videos on YouTube for Macrame Plant Holders.

Here is a picture of how to make easy macrame plant hangers:

DIY Wood Chip Planters

Wood and driftwood have become very popular decor. For this, take a piece of wood, drill through the center of the chip and leave half an inch to an inch of wood as a border. Then, turn the wood so that it sits straight up, as seen in the picture below, and drill another hole. You can either find a small vase and fill it with water and a plant or just put in some loose stems or fake flowers.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
