New Year, New Home

With the holidays now over, and the holiday home decor soon to be stowed away, people everywhere will turn their attention to getting started on those resolutions they made for the new year. Common ones include: get in better shape, be more financially conscious or stable, be healthier, be more organized. The list goes on and on.

Here are a couple of ways that remodeling your New York home, or re-decorating can help you get started and achieve some of the goals you’ve made.

De-clutter

De-cluttering your home is one of the best feelings in the world. We all have that one (or two, or three) area in the home that amasses more clutter and mess than the local landfill.   Physical clutter can lead to mental clutter and affect such things as focus, behaviour, emotional well-being and even wealth.

Sure, subscribing to ALL the design and decorating magazines seemed like a good idea at the time, but now all you have is a pile of them everywhere and you haven’t seen the cat in days!

Do It Yourself

Getting into shape doesn’t always require that you join an expensive gym. During the winter season, people are less likely to leave their homes. Bears hibernate in the winter and it seems like they have the right idea.

Look around your home and see if there are any simple, easy ‘do-it-yourself’ projects that you can, well, do yourself.

Maybe your bedroom could use some painting?  Or, there’s a perfect thrift store chair you’d like to re-upholster?  How about a new bookcase for the few items you decided to keep after your weekend de-cluttering session?

These projects are fun and inexpensive and will get you moving. Be more active: check.Be more financially responsible: check.

This new year try not to stress yourselves by creating unattainable goals.  Look to your home to help kick start your resolutions.
