20 Things You'll Find in a Typical New England Home

Who doesn't love shopping for home decor?

Your space is your sanctuary, after all. It's important to furnish and decorate it in a way that brings you a sense of peace and feels "homey" (for lack of a better word). You may be a minimalist who prefers clean, tidy environments without unnecessary clutter. Or you might enjoy a space filled with all your favorite things, including lots of knick knacks.

And don't get us started on seasonal decor. Yours truly has boxes full of Halloween and Christmas decorations that make places extra fun during those special times of year.
