17 Ways to Love Your Home!

1. Choose 10 things. And donate them, throw them away or repurpose them. It's easy for stuff to pile up but if you grab a bag and walk through the house it's almost guaranteed that you'll be able to find 10 things that you either don't love, don't use, or is broken (and not worth fixing). Get these things out.
2. Rearrange. You choose big or small. Rearrange the living room or rearrange the bottles you have out on the counter in the bathroom. When we rearrange our homes they look new and fresh.
3. Rotate your accessories. Change the palette of each room. You can cleverly stores the accessories you’re not using and refresh your home without buying anything.
4. Add a plant or flowers. Fresh flowers are great but if they are an indulgence to do all the time, but a nice little plant growing in the kitchen or some beautiful succulents out on the porch can breathe some life into your home. Try a Fiddleleaf Fig or a Rubber Plant.
5. Clean. Choose a room and really clean it: mop the floors, dust the shelves, the doorjambs and everything in between. See how different you feel afterwards.
6. Light it up. Do you have three points of light in the living room or just a torch lamp in the corner? Rooms feel bigger, more grown up and have better ambience if you use at least 3 light sources in a room.
7. Eat Meals at home. Eating meals at home instantly makes home feel like a place you want to be (in fact, sometimes for me it's just knowing the fridge is full of food).
8. Privacy. Do your curtains give you privacy at night? Could they do a better job? You want to feel comfortable at home and having privacy is a big part of that. On our list is adding or replacing the window coverings that came with the house with something that matches your décor.

9. Zone your space. Now is a good time to re-evaluate how you're using your space. Do you often have people over to watch movies and yet your desk takes up half the living room? Or the opposite: do you rarely have people over and you work from home and your desk is shoved into a tight little corner? Make sure your home is supporting the activities you do inside of it.
10. Good Rest. Is it time to change the sheets or clean off the nightstands? The bedroom is super important for helping us get good rest so we feel good in our lives. Do you have ratty old sheets or just a color you can't stand? Start saving up for some high count thread sheets that are amazing and you’ll sleep better too.

11. Frequent a local thrift store. You never know what you'll find and when you find something you love, it's normally pretty affordable. Stop at the Salvation Army and look for paintings, pottery, lamps and small accessories, and if you make a mistake, we just donate it right back.
12. Add Art. If you've been afraid to hang art, now's the time. A space becomes a home when there is stuff on the walls. You can also rearrange your artwork to create a new feeling in the house. Re-visit Rotate your accessories. Contact us for our great connection for artwork.
13. Get a good book. Turn of the TV and let yourself read in bed (in your cleaned out bedroom). This helps slow down your day and let's you drift off into sleep. Quality of life skyrockets.
14. Indulge. Is there a body lotion you really like? Flowers you really like? Love having fresh raspberries in the fridge? Choose something you love having around and, if you can afford it, splurge. If you can't afford it, find something you can afford to splurge on and get it.
15. Invite people over. Sometimes just looking at your home with the perspective of what others see when they come in helps you to edit, rearrange or finally get to the project that's laid out in the living room.

16. Slow Down. We have had moments when we're so busy we've barely even been at home, let alone enjoyed it. So when we can we try to make a point of slowing down and just being at home. We have actually scheduled it. Sad, but true and soul soothing as well. Try drinking your coffee while sitting on the couch instead of multitasking, or taking the time to take a bath instead of checking our email again. Spending time with the family when everyone is home instead of just putting a video on.
17. Make Decisions. 90% of clutter is the result of delayed decisions. You can't decide about that old sweater so you keep it. You don't know if it's worth it to keep that broken chair because some day you might be able to fix it, etc. Make some decisions, move forward in your home and get the energy moving in there again. When we get our home in order, it empowers us in every other part of our lives.
