Does this new year have you itching for simplicity in your home?
"How do I simplify my decor?" This question came in from a listener and that's what we're talking about at the start of this brand new year. Simplifying your decor doesn't mean you have to become a minimalist or move into a tiny home. Simplifying your decor can start by taking a good look at what you have and being intentional about what takes up real estate in your home.
Six easy steps to simplify your decor:
1. Think about how you feel in your space with it 'full.'
2. Remove all the stuff except for the anchor pieces and let your room be quiet.
3. Declutter as you go.
4. Sit with a quiet room for a week and think about how you like the quiet room.
5. Hold each item one at a time and evaluate if it: brings you joy or adds value. If it does, it goes back in. If not, it goes in the donation box.
6. Take one last trip to the donation center.

Is your home BORING?
"Boredom is choice" is a phrase I often repeat to my boys when they complain of being bored. With a million and one choices of things to do, boredom is a choice - an equal player in those million options.
Boredom in your home is no different. Boredom is a choice. If you are bored with your home's design, you have a choice of doing something about it or staying stagnant. Choices, btw, don't have to cost a lot.
In this episode I'm sharing eight things you can do in your home that can help you beat the boredom and the best part is...they don't have to cost a lot and some of them are absolutely FREE!
The choice is yours...beat the boredom or stay stuck.
THIS WEEK ONLY...individual Decorating S.O.S. Coaching Calls are available to book so that you can BEAT the boredom and get started creating a home that you delight in, that inspires you, that tells your story and that you can't wait to come home to!

Do you love saving money?
If you love saving money when decorating your home you NEED to listen to today's conversation with Decorating S.O.S. client, Alissa. In the course of one hour, we saved Alissa almost $4000. When you spend time intentionally planning your space, you not only make decisions that are more aligned with your aesthetic, but you learn to spend your money wisely. Wisely doesn't always mean spending less of it, but learning when to save more on an item and when to use what you have.
The temptation for homeowners who want to make design changes is to go out and buy all new things, but planning what changes you should make and learning the order of when those changes should happen DIRECTLY affects your spending...and often times, in a good way - a way that makes your bank account smile a very puffy smile!!!
THIS WEEK ONLY...I'M OPENING UP SINGLE DECORATING S.O.S. COACHING CALLS so you can start making a plan toward change in your home this new year!

Home Goals 2024
Do you have them?!
The beginning of a new year can be so inspiring...just think of the possibilities! As a people group we are so good at making resolutions for our health, our finances, our job, our family...but when was the last time you thought about goals for your home?
In this episode I'm sharing four things to think about as you reflect on how your home served you this past year and how those reflections can guide the action we take inside our home this near year. Setting big goals is wonderful, but supporting those goals with the first three action steps is critical in the success of seeing that goal to fruition.
If creating a home environment that feels cozy, looks cohesive and DELIGHTS you is one of your goals this year...I invite you to join me inside Home Design 101 where you can finally learn the steps you need so you can begin taking action.

RULES: you either love them or hate them!
When it comes to decorating your home, rules can be helpful but also restricting. Let's think of them as guidelines. Guidelines are meant to be shifted and change depending on the purpose of styling. Today, we're talking BOOKSHELF STYLING.
Bookshelves are an opportunity for you to showcase your personal style while telling your story. Bookshelves, however, can be 100% books or 100% tchotchkes. The balance I like to create and the one we're talking about inside today's episode is bookshelves that use this ONE rule: 80/20
Bookshelves that have 80% practicality (not all books as you'll hear inside the show) and 20% accessories.
Here's a challenge for you: think about displaying some practical, yet beautiful pieces on your bookshelf instead of tucking them away inside your closed cabinets or taking up real estate inside your garage.
What are beautiful pieces that are practical for a bookshelf?
Vases, baskets, and boxes are just a few.
Ready to learn even more about bookshelf styling? Join Home Design 101 where styling your flat surfaces, including bookshelves, is an entire module! You'll be an expert by the end!!!

HOW DO YOU SIMPLIFY THE DESIGN PROCESS AND START?
In today's episode we're talking about FINALLY taking action and applying all of the things you've been learning about home design. But here's the hard truth...if you want an easy pill, the easy button, the fast action...hire a designer.
For the rest of you who are READY to APPLY what you've been learning, follow these four steps:
1. STOP consuming inspiration
2. Think about your WHY and determine if it is STRONGER than the limiting belief that has been keeping you stuck in in-action
3. Make a plan
4. Enlist a little help
HELP can come in the form of long-term application: Google, Youtube, consumption from podcasts, blogs, etc.
OR
HELP can come in the form of short-term application: Home Design 101, a 9 module self-paced course that guides you through the steps you need to take in order to create a cozy, cohesive looking home. Office hours every other week are included with this course so you can receive the individualized help that you need specific to your home.

Do you DELIGHT in your home?
Delight means to take 'great pleasure in' or be 'pleased greatly by' something. At fig & farm (at home) our goal is NOT perfection in our homes.

5 tips for delighting in your home this holiday season:
1. Identify the barriers standing in your way of delight
2. Remediate or remove those barriers
3. Surround yourself with the things you love
4. Make space for the people you love most
5. Practice gratitude for things both BIG and small
