Today’s post is about the things that bug you so hard, that feel SO over the top wrong in your household…that you don’t even notice them any longer. Whaaaat? Yes. I’ve mentioned object aversion before– where your brain actually creates a blind spot for something it doesn’t feel like dealing with- and I’m no stranger Read more
*Donate/recycle/share as much as possible before you “get rid of”, too! Magazines. Look, either you’ve read them or they’re in a stack because you’re not gonna read them. Share these with collage-happy classrooms and carpool-bored parents alike. (But get them off your floor, please.) Shopping bags. Why are these so hard to get rid of? Read more
Happy New Year! (…She says more than a full week into 2019!) Whether you’re looking for help in keeping the clutter train movin’ on out after the holiday season or you’ve been joining me in binge-watching some Marie Kondo (Netflix has nothing if not an exceptional grasp of timing and the emotions of our nation), Read more
Everyone knows that scents are a game-changer. (The olfactory function is the one closest related to emotion and memory, after all!) And sometimes- just sometimes- when your get up and go has taken a hike, the right household smells can get you back on track. Take a breather (and get out the bad scents) Unless Read more
I was originally going to call this one “nooks to create for this upcoming season,” but then decided to scrap that. Because, quite honestly, regardless of season, regardless of holiday-esque decor, a nook is a nook is a nook (is necessary). So for this- and every season- I invite you to create one of these Read more
It’s time to declutter some books, friends. Before you throw War and Peace at my head, hang tight a sec. (Mostly because that thing’s huge and would really hurt.) I love books. I love your books. I love snuggling up with multiple volumes of historical fiction on cozy evenings and running my hand along the Read more
You’ve spent the time curating an amazing collection- why not let it shine? A gallery wall is an easy, impactful- and yes, cheap- way to showcase what you love…and if you happen to refresh a corner of your home along the way? Beautiful. P.J. and I love going to bonkers-good places and collecting menus signed Read more
Disclosure: This “all things eco-friendly lighting” post is sponsored by Lowe’s Home Improvement and GE Lighting. Although I was compensated, all thoughts, opinions, and gorgeously (and dimmably) lit corners of my home are entirely my own. *** Let’s talk eco-friendly lighting, shall we? I’ve been on a mission to downsize the clunky, utilitarian lamps and Read more
Small effort, huge impact: That’s absolutely my motto these days. You may not think that 10 minutes are enough to substantially change the look and feel of a home…but I promise that each completed task is akin to a breath of fresh air. (And lest you think I’m just tossing out random ideas- I tried Read more
Disclosure: Today’s post is sponsored by Canary– a home security device designed for the way you really live- (and look!) and, although I’m compensated, all thoughts, opinions, and videos of kittens are entirely my own. *** Look- really look- at your home. That’s today’s task, friends! Sounds simple (and it is). But it also sounds Read more
