Nate's Decorating Essentials

Vacation Mementos

Nate says that overall, the most essential advice is to personalize your space. "And that means bringing things back from vacation, like these slippers that I brought back from Greece this summer," Nate says. "You might not think that you can put these in a bookcase, but when you do, your guests get to know something about you and about where you've been."
