Editing Home Decor



These are a few ideas for editing the decor or collections in your home.
 
1. Bring of few pieces of a larger collection out and rotate monthly or seasonally.
2. Group a few similar items together for more impact.
3. Keep antiquing, thrifting and shopping...just seeing lots of things out there can make you          
     thrilled again with what you already have. You may fall in love all over again! If you must have   
     something new, put away an older treasure for awhile.
4. At the start of a new season or holiday, redecorate your rooms in that and store the rest. It's all new
     again! 
5. Create a keepsake or shadow box with items collected from a vacation or life event that mean a lot
     to you. It will get your creative juices flowing and take up little space.
6. Store your treasures in a closet, pantry or attic between uses. No such luck? Purchase a few of the
    great new storage items like chests (coffee table), cubes (extra seating) or under the bed rolling
    bins. The closer for you to get to the goodies the better for easier transitions. 
 
 
We love these bear that are part of our bigger collection but they definitely need a bit of editing.
 
 
I took all but three and stored them under the buffet, where they can be seen
if you look real close but they do not dominate the buffet.
 
 
This is much more peaceful!
 
 
I love the old print from a magazine of the bear camping. I still love the term
 bear for singular bear or many bear. I'm weird like that!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2013
 
ESC Baby New Year
 
I am late with my New Year's wishes this year. I wish you all a wonderful 2013!
I started thinking about resolutions just after Christmas and I'm, just now, putting them in writing. The fact that I have procrastinated this long should be part of my list but it didn't make the cut. I found a few fun statistics to share and they can be found on the following website http://www.statisticbrain.com/new-years-resolution-statistics/. Interesting?
 
I am following a fellow blogger's idea and using the old list by letter means of recording my resolutions for 2013. It was really fun to think of the many ways I might be able to improve myself. Sadly, I have thought of many more to add but I think I'll just work on these first. 

R ~  Relish all the blessings in my life.
E ~ Exercise, even if that means more flea markets and malls.
S ~ Share ideas with more woman...Pinterest.
O ~ Organize my workspaces.
L ~ Love more. I am sure this one will be my husband's favorite.
U ~ Utilize my time better.
T ~ Try hard to resist stress or at least my reaction to it.
I ~ Ingest food that is better for my health or just eat less junk food (or not).
O ~ Organize my home for good. Starting with just one closet, at least. 
N ~ Negate negitive thinking and try the Power of the Positive.
S ~ Smile more! My face just naturally relaxes in a frown and who wants to see that.
