50 New Year Ways to Have a Pretty Fabulous Home

/

It’s a New Year, which automatically means thinking about changes to make, goals to create and methods to have a better life.  The care and keep of your home is one of the top environmental triggers to either keep you on track with your goals or pull you away from them due to distractions.  Keep in mind, “care and keep of your home” doesn’t just mean the sofa, table and loveseat décor; it also means checking off—do you get along with your family, is strife or arguments filling the air, or when you open every drawer is there disorder, disarray or just a smell that makes you turn your head to the left and say, I’ll get to that later. 

 

An incredible home doesn’t mean perfection…there’s always going to be a project or two that need to be completed, a pile of laundry to tackle or a sticky spill on the floor that you finally say, enough is enough.  The most important step is to have a realistic plan and create routines that tackle your environment.  So much of what I’ve learned and created in the list below has come from my success coach, Stacia Pierce.   She’s always motivating me to be a finisher and to think BIG and expect more out of life.
