How I Refresh our Entire House for the New Year

01/09/2020 By Bre

I’ve been sharing this week how our home is currently in “clean state” mode. The last of the Christmas decor bins have been brought down to the basement. I put away any of the throw pillow covers that I used for Christmas, and have found myself in no rush to bring back my everyday decor I had out before Christmas. Sometimes it’s nice to start the new year off with a clean slate visually and mentally in our homes. Not allowing anything to rush us into making decisions too quickly, or decorating for that matter. Nothing that visually clutters our mind, but really just allows us a little breathing room.

Hello Friends! I hope your New Year is off to a great start! I have been embracing this post-holiday slow down by just being content with where things are at in our home. Not rushing to put decor back up after all the Christmas decor has come down, but just really allowing the blank canvas of our homes current state to have time to breathe, which is also allowing me to take a step back and breathe also. It feels so refreshing after a season of hustle and bustle to now enjoy a season of rest. There are so many fun decorating ideas in todays post, and if you are struggling with your homes decor, make sure you click on my post at the bottom Knowing Where to Start with your Home.

Our Living Room throughout the Year

01/06/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends!! With the holidays behind us, I brought the last bins of Christmas decor down to our basement – today! Thankfully, it was mostly the Christmas decor from the kids room, but it feels so good to have the house back down to a clean slate. I just finished swapping over my pillow covers, back to something neutral for the winter months, and it got me thinking about all the little changes I do in our living room throughout the year. I know you see it when I share our living room for each seasonal tour, but I thought it would be fun to point out how I change things from season to season, all rounded up in one post. Sort of a Before & After, but more or less just the After’s. So today I’m sharing the different looks our living room has throughout the year.

Hello friends!! I hope your holiday week is going well! If you’re like me, you might be feeling like you are still in that holiday coma, wondering what day it is and have consumed entirely too much cheese over the last couple of days. Non-the-less today is Monday, and even though the kids are still on winter break, I’m finding myself wanting to clean and organize things around our house. So today I’m sharing how what I use for our Christmas decor storage, in case you are wanting to clean and organize too!
