Down size if that feels right for you. Now is the time to go smaller and make those fewwer square feet absolutely fabulous. Less is definitely more when you can make a smaller home exactly to your liking.

If you are thinking about selling your home, spring time is a great time to put your house on the market, but even better timing, be the first on by getting your house ready to roll in February.

Add a garden room or add several plants to a sunny room in yoru home. Incorporating the natural world into your home is definitely a move to make in 2020.

Remember we talked about the 2020 trend to carve out a dedicated office space in your home. Here are several desks that can fit in small spaces and often do double duty.

We participate in the Amazon Associate program so we may receive a small fee if you purchase through our links. This in no way increases the amount you pay. Thanks for shopping through our links.

Check out the desk options HERE.

Set up a coffee station with a pretty machine & all the mix ins. See the one Anita bought for Kevin HERE.

Bringing nature in extends to adding green paint to your walls. Kelly suggests going dark, not sage-y if you decide to incorporate green paint in your home this year.

See the dark moody greens:

Farrow & Ball Studio Green HERE..

Ben Moore Salamander HERE.

Ben Moore Back Woods HERE.

Dunn and Edwards Back Woods HERE.

Some feel their homes look bare now, while others love the clean slate, and minimalist look that January brings.

What's the deal with antiques? Is it a great time to buy? to sell? Are they still popular? We're talking about which items that have gone up in price and which have gone down. We're also discussing why there has been a big shift in pricing recently. No matter how you slice it, if you love antiques, then enjoy yours.

This episode originally ran March 26, 2019. This was a very popular episode and we're delighted to share it with you again.

When we see images on pinterest and instagram, it can be a wonderful inspiration for future projects, we get ideas but there's a dark side to the social media. Sometimes we begin to hate our houses because they don't measure up.

Here are our tips to be content with your home and to make everyday life in your home a joy.

keep your house tidy
keep the clutter at bay
keep it picked up
start some new habits to keep it clean
clutter causes stress - bring every room back to 'ready' make your bed
display some sentimental items or favorite collections around your home
Focus on things you can take with you, if you think you are moving, but there is no need to ignore your home if you are moving.
think about the positives about your home, rather than the negatives. what drew you to it in the first place?
fix the things that are broken
make sure you have a comfortable mattress and seating
add beauty to your every day life. So if that kitchen sponge looks so gross you don't want to touch it, toss it!  get a new sponge!
make sure you have some nice things to use for your daily routine
add a special area for relaxing, reading, a cup of tea or listening to music
use essential oils in your home
make your bedroom into a retreat
invite people over, entertain and have fun in your home
start a gratitude journal record a happy memory at the end of each day
don't have a temporary attitude about your home. Make it homey even if you don't plan to stay forever
don't compare your home with the ones you see on Pinterest and Instagram
replace an uncomfortable sofa or mattress
