IN WITH THE NEW....Starting my brand new journal today...and it felt good and I'm so ready for a new year...first things first...PURGE! writing in a journal is a good way to release your heart and free it up for the good things that are coming.
Purging is good around the house too...in fact..let me share a few things I did around the house to KICK OFF OUR NEW YEAR.
I decided to tackle the 3 bedrooms. (on a budget)
1) PURGE: It's free! Clean out /organize closets, purge junk drawers, throw out or file old papers, organize laundry closets, etc.
You will be amazed at how good it feels to DECLUTTER.
2) REARRANGE: Once all the clutter is clear you have a clean slate. This will make it easier for you to move furniture around and give the space a new look. Beds should be facing the door, windows should be free of hazards, books should be neatly organized, keep it simple.
Sidenote: I bought a lego stand from Goodwill for 10 bucks for my son's lego and it was perfect!
3) New BEDDING: Just changing the linen and comforter on my queen sized bed gave me a lift!!!
Sidenote: If you can't change completely add a chenile throw or new pillows to spruce things up.
I also got everyone new PJS for Christmas ( a tradition) and let me tell ya it feels so good to relax in a clean room with new sheets and new pjs...HEAVEN
4) ACCESSORIZE: I bought curtain panels for my daughters room from Big Lots..the only place I could find teal sheers. I found a beautiful blue crushed satin panel from TJMAXX for my son's room and it matched perfectly
5) PHOTOS: Add photos of your loved ones or swap the old photos for some that are recent. Showcase the people you love.
Other quick and simple ways:
Paint
Add a Border
Add Plants or Flowers
Get a new RUG for center of the room
Update lightbulbs, add a new lamp
YOU can do it, its never too late to rearrange and start fresh!
