Shadow Box - Piece together a shadow box with mementos you scored on your trip. Cut letters of the city out of postcards or photos and added in little touches like sand from the area. Add other small little trinkets that add to the design and feel of your trip

Bottles of Sand - Collect sand from your travels and create a display of them contained in bottles and jars of different shapes and sizes to add a shabby chic touch. Label them with the names of the places you took them from, and you'll have a display that's guaranteed to transport you to a different city. Or grab one big jar for your local store and put the sand in drawing a line at the top of each layer with where the sand is from.

Frame Up Paper Mementos - Take all the paper mementos you collected on your trip — be it photos, tickets, brochures, wrappers, maps, menus, currency, and more — and place them in a frame to create these collages. Play with the idea of using one large frame or using multiple smaller frames to create a large feature gallery wall.

Cubby Organizer - You can always organize your souvenirs in a cute cubby organizer. Try picking up some vintage printers trays to store your knickknack souvenirs in.

Memory Box - Use wooden boxes and stencil in the names of the cities, then paint them in different colors that would display well in your bookcase. This is great if you want to you’re your souvenirs on hand and (somewhat) on display but not having to put a lot of work into the actual display. Not only are these boxes pretty, but they'll also keep your souvenirs organized, which means you'll be able to relive a particular trip's memories with ease when you take out a box to explore its contents.

Make your bed even harder to get out of in the morning with these little tricks we found:

1. Hang string lights above your bed to create a magical look.
2. Dress your bed in a giant sweater with a cable-knit blanket.
3. Get a real down comforter.
4. Skip the top sheet and put a nice, washable duvet cover on your comforter.
5. Throw down an extra fuzzy bedside rug to make things easier for your feet in the morning.
6. A plushy, faux-fur throw on top of your bed covers will add Hollywood glam to your all-day Netflix sessions.
7. Tuck your covers in neatly.
8. Make your bed every day.
9. Add pillows!
10. With basic sewing skills, transform a new bath mat or accent rug into a cuddly throw pillow cover.
11. Invest in a bedside lamp so you don't have to get up to turn off the overhead light.
12. Save money on a fancy, tufted headboard by creating your own.
13. Try linen sheets instead of cotton. They aren't cheap, but they get better and softer the more you sleep in them and last you for years.
14. DIY a cozy canopy by hanging fabric from the ceiling. Option 1 for creating this canopy is to buy wooden dowels for just a few cents at a craft store and attach them to the ceilings with hooks or thumbtacks. Option 2 is to rig up two short curtain rods on either side of the bed. Both options are very affordable and add an elegant look to any bedroom.
15. Add a foam or feather pillow-top pad to your mattress to make it softer.
16. If your bed is in a nook or a particularly small room, turn it into a ship-shape hideaway with some curtains.
17. Find someone furry to share a bed with. Puppies and kittens are the solution to almost any problem.
