If you had asked me when I was 15 if I
would live to the year 2013 I never would have believed it, after all
I would be old by then but as I approach yet another year I'm
finally old enough to know that there are far worst things
than getting older. Like the fact that I can't ever seem to get
anything at home evens started unless somethings on fire. So these lists are useful
in the sense that they can help to motivate us (I mean me) to get the
things done that we avoid all year long like redoing our living room
or cleaning out the gutters, or god forbid: starting a new exercise
program. See, clearly there are far worst things than new wrinkles
and saggy knees. So here goes...
- Get Space! No one likes to clean, or at least I don't (my mother is a fanatic) but if you're like me and you avoid anything having to do with organization, bleach and sweatpant related activities then this is definitely something you leave until you end up in an all out wrestling match with dust bunnies the size of jack rabbits. But there is more to a little spring cleaning than just a dust rag: clear out those cabinets, reduce all the clutter and you'll be amazed at how much more open and lite your space feels.
- The Little Changes...Paint the walls, buy a new area run or just rearrange your artwork. These small changes can help to make the space you live in feel like a space you want to live in. When you rearrange you artwork, instead of a straight line of frames how about clustering all of your frames together until the frames themselves are their own work of art. Or how about adding a bright patterned rug to add some contrast to your space.
- How about a new sofa? You've been meaning to do it forever but the giant stores, fabric options and “Post Sofa Buying Regret Syndrome” or PSBRS keeps you on a procrastination loop. Now is the time to break out of that loop and donate your old sofa with its sagging cushions and out of date fabric to your favorite niece or nephews college crash pad. Come visit us at The SofaWorks and avoid PSBRS by bypassing the generic box stores and having us make you exactly what you want. Plus when you order with us its all hand-made in the United States and who doesn't like that these days.
- No more New Year's Resolutions. Seriously, this year I'm going to resolve to get off my butt so that I don't need the impetus of a list to get stuff done.
Happy Holiday!
