191 // Organizing when you have too much stuff. Is it possible?

Tuesday Oct 10, 2023

How do you organize when you have too much stuff?

Today's episode is answering a listener's question who is asking for organizing tips throughout the home, especially when you have too much stuff. Is it possible?

Short answer - yes! When you utilize your home's natural boundaries, then categorize and sub-categorize within those boundaries not only will you be able to find what it is you are looking for, but you'll be able to see when you're stuff exceeds the boundaries. THIS is a natural way to help you keep the clutter out.

For example: the natural boundary in the kitchen is the pantry with five shelves. Each shelf houses items that fit categorically (i.e. baking shelf, general cooking shelf, snack shelf, etc). On each shelf are sub categories, i.e. smaller containers to house the category of item. When that container reaches capacity it's time to use what I have, go through what's there or stop purchasing said items.

Example in my home:

Natural boundary: pantry with five shelves

Categories: general cooking shelf

Sub-categories: container for pastas, container for grains, section for canned goods

187 // Confessions of a home decorator: my home used to be ugly (pt. 2)

Tuesday Sep 26, 2023

My home used to be ugly!

You read that right. Until I knew better, I couldn't do better. My first home...was ugly. Every room in the open concept home was painted a different color, there was no continuity or cohesiveness - nothing to tie it all together. Until you know better, you won't be able to do better in your own home.

Pinterest will only be so helpful. HGTV shows will only be so inspiring. Hiring a fancy-pants home designer will leave you thousands in the hole (with a beautiful home, but thousands in the hole).

It's time to KNOW BETTER!

186 // PUT DOWN YOUR CREDIT CARD and do these two things when you are starting to decorate your new home!

Tuesday Sep 19, 2023

PUT DOWN YOUR CREDIT CARD!!!

When you are moving into a new home the temptation for decorating is STRONG! When you're starting with a blank slate like listener Andi, it's even stronger! We live in a society that honors and encourages instant gratification, but the basic home design principles encourage the opposite.

Take your time, be patient, create a plan! WHY would you do that when you so badly want to make your new home delightful?

You'll SAVE MONEY, SAVE TIME and live with LESS REGRET!

185 // Is inspiration overload keeping you from decorating your home?

Friday Sep 15, 2023

Are you in inspiration overload?

Pinterest, Instagram, Tik Tok, HGTV...inspiration is everywhere. We can spend so much time in inspiration consumption mode that we don't ever move into action. How do you start decorating your home when you are constantly inspired by the latest trend, the newest shiny object or a vision that doesn't seem attainable?

You start by:

~ getting in alignment with how you feel about your home

~ creating a plan and a vision for what you want your home to look and feel like

~ you work backward to create it

Listen to the second part of the conversation with interior designer Jessica Velasquez about how she inspires her clients to work beyond the vision and inspiration.

If this conversation inspired you to take action in your own home, I invite you to join me in a FREE, LIVE two day workshop where you learn the fundamentals of creating a cohesive, cozy home on a budget!

Thursday Sep 14, 2023

"We all want to jump to the sexy part...making things pretty, but first we need to:

Shift our mindset

Do simple math

Understand the purpose

Be self-aware

We talk about limiting beliefs keeping people from investing (money or time) in their environment, why home is so important, how to have pretty things while also having kids at home and SO MUCH MORE. Part two of this conversation will air tomorrow.
