The progression to good home design doesn't actually start with decorating your home.
NOPE!
Good design starts waaaaaaaay back in the spring cleaning phase when you're tired of looking at and stepping over boxes and bags and crud that take up wasted space in your home. CLUTTER...that's what we're talking about. The C word. THE C word. The word that I know you'd rather just gloss on over to get to the pretty stuff. But the truth of the matter is this...
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW PRETTY YOU MAKE YOUR HOME...
If you still have clutter lying around, creeping into open spaces, your home will ALWAYS feel off - no matter how pretty the walls and the pillows are!
Tips & encouragement for editing your home:
1. Start small so you can feel successful
2. As the projects get bigger, give them parameters (i.e. a time limit)
3. As you start wavering in indecision, ask yourself:
* Do I love this item?
* Have I used this item within the last six months?
* When I think of the item do I typically think "someday, I will..."
4. NO...you are not wasting money by donating it.
YOU WASTED THE MONEY WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT!
5. Take action
* Take the bags to the dump
* Drop the boxes off at the donation center
* Take your baby things to your friend's house
GET THEM OUT!!!
6. Do it often. Rinse & Repeat.
7. Set a goal, treat yourself to a non-stuff related prize when you're done
8. Get an accountability partner to cheer you on, keep you honest and enjoy the treat at the end with!
