The holiday season has drawn to a close, and if your family is anything like mine, you’re staring at a heap of generously given gifts and decorations to put away. And you’re probably thinking: ‘Wow, that’s a lot of stuff!’ That huge influx of new stuff can make a home feel cluttered instantly. Working with my frequently overwhelmed clients to maximize and redesign their spaces, I’ve come up with a simple decluttering method that will help calm any space down quickly, and works perfectly for that pile under the tree.
Moving a family is stressful and if the relocation comes with another emotional event like a death in the family, divorce or job loss, the transition hardly feels like a party. But while it probably won’t be immediately obvious, with careful planning and generous discussion, your child can benefit from a move.
Regardless of the size of your home, space is often a scarce commodity. But the way you organize and arrange and the styles of furniture you choose can mean the difference between living comfortably or living packed in like sardines. Try these ideas to make the most of every nook and cranny in your home.
When was the last time you let your child inspire you? With so many sources of online inspiration, it’s easy to find inexpensive embellishments for transforming any bedroom from blah to beautiful through the eyes of your teenage beholder. Follow these steps for bicker-free results.
