Home Resolutions for 2023

Find Your Why

Whether you have big plans to remodel your home, want to host more gatherings or wish to keep tidy in the new year, having resolutions for your space can help you turn your home into a haven. Imagining the finished space can seem like a tall task. Many times we don't start because the task ahead seems too large. So here's my advice: start your resolutions by finding your why. Why do you want to have a tidy closet? Will it help reduce your stress when getting ready in the morning? Will it help your thoughts and mind feel less cluttered? Having a tidy closet may bring more function and simplicity to your life than just having every item in its place. This is why it's important to find your reason for keeping these resolutions before you even begin. 

My Home Resolutions for 2023:

1. Declutter surfaces by simplifying. Focusing on bold and big items; out with the small.
2. Reduce and organize my closet. Going after a less is more - creating an exaggerated capsule wardrobe.
3. Accent my bare walls with unique art pieces. The past few years have been so busy, that I've not filled those spots- now is the time!

Tools to Achieve Your Home Resolutions

If you're ready to transform your home and stay inspired to do so, here are my top recommendations to achieve your resolutions. 

1. Schedule a day to work on your home. One reason big projects can pile up is because we say we will "get to them tomorrow". By scheduling one day or a repeated time on your calendar, you can create a designated time to keep your home resolutions.
2. Get inspired and educated on finding organization and balance in your home. One of my favorite organization books is: The Home Edit Life by Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin. 
3. If your goal is to organize your home, choose baskets, boxes and organizers that fit your style. Here are some of my favorites: 
   • - Home Market Baskets
   • - Woven Storage Cubes

Making Your Home Resolutions Happen

If all of this seems overwhelming, break down your resolutions into smaller, acheivable goals. Having small, achievable goals will make it easier to keep your resolutions. Another way to keep your resolutions is to involve your family. Family involvement can help with keeping you motivated and accountable. As a final encouragement, this is YOUR year to create that space you've been really desiring!
