• 331 // 3 Easy tips to declutter without the overwhelm

  Hey friend! Are you sick and tired of stuff making the decisions around your home? "Where should we eat dinner?" (says STUFF all over the dining table) "No space here to play the game." (says STUFF all over the coffee table) "Spend more money on groceries." (says STUFF that engulfed all your grocery coupons and now you can't find them) STUFF rules the day in too many ways and it's time to take your homes back - creating spaces that function the way you want them to function so you can live the way you want to live. In today's episode I'm answering Ann's question who wants to know simple ways to declutter because she's ready to a) live more simply b) create a home that's charming and decluttered homes aren't charming and c) invest more in her space so she can love it...and she hates the overwhelm and clutter. Are you suffering from decluttering overwhelm too? 3 EASY TIPS TO REDUCE THE OVERWHELMING TASK OF DECLUTTERING 1. Know your WHY! Stay connected to the goal at the end of the hard chore. Writing down your why and keeping it visible will help you get through the slog when it gets tough. 2. Start small: Small can mean amount of time, room size or container within a larger room (ie. the room = kitchen, starting with the smallest container - a drawer and moving up in size with each successfully decluttered drawer, then cupboard, etc.). 3. Game-ify the task: Give yourself a reward for a completed task. Give yourself a goal. Set your goals in alignment with the calendar dates (ie. April 1 - declutter 1 item, April 10 - declutter 10 items, April 28 - 28 items...by the end of a 31 day month you'll have decluttered 496 items).   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

• 330 // Ditch the trends and decorate with THIS method instead for a more cohesive looking home

  Hey friend! I love Amazon just as much as the next guy, but sometime the "I want it yesterday" mentality can distract us from the goals we have for decorating a more cohesive, unified looking home. In today's episode I'm teaching you about the concept of SLOW DECORATING - what it is, why it's beneficial and how to do it. HINT...if you haven't yet registered for the Better Than Basics Bootcamp and you are wanting to decorate with intention in your home, you're going to want to save your seat before they fill up. You register at: Better Than Basics Bootcamp What is slow decorating: mindfully choosing items for your home instead of the quick push to finish a room fast. What are the benefits: less pressure, more time for budgeting, trend-proof styling and the ability to embrace different 'styles' because you are in more alignment with your personal aesthetic. How to decorate slowly: know your aesthetic, how your room needs to function and the ways your home is looking or lacking cohesiveness (I teach all of this in the Better Than Basics Bootcamp); know where your products are being made and the quality; honoring your budget by making intentional choices; shop local, handmade, flea markets, antique stores; be prepared to be surprised.   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

• 329 // Which items should I spurge on and which items can I save more when choosing my home decor or furnishings?

  Hey friend! Do you ever wonder which items you should splurge on (and which to save) when you're decorating or furnishing your home? This common question is something we're talking about in today's epsiode. What home decorating items should I splurge on and which should I save money on? Saving and splurging is all based off of personal finances, priorities, need, design style/personal preference, but how I base my decisions currently, in this season of life... The four items I would SPLURGE on: 1. Anchor pieces: These are the pieces that are too costly to replace every couple of years. They generally need to stand the test of time so having higher quality (= higher price point) can be beneficial. 2. Electrical: Unless I felt confident changing out my own overhead light fixtures or hiding cords, I would without a doubt splurge on this expense. Changing your overhead light fixtures is a relatively inexpensive way to add A LOT of character and personality to your home. 3. Hiring for built-ins: Built-ins, when done well, instantly elevate your home making it look more finished with character and charm. If building something is not within your wheelhouse, this is an expense worth splurging on! 4. Updating foundational pieces: I am not referring to the foundation of your building/home. But I am referring to the foundation of your cohesive design plan and there are two foundational items within your homes that SHOULD be paid attention to: your floors and your walls. If one of those is 'off' it will likely throw off you entire design. Because it's that important, choices you bring in should be filtered through the lense of "Does this work with my foundation - floors/walls." If the flooring is disjointed, saving and investing there will reap BIG design rewards (and re-sale too!). Need help knowing what to save or splurge on?

• 328 // LIVE Coaching: How to choose the best white; how to add soft contrasts to home design, and making an entryway more functional

  Hey friend! Have you ever wondered what it's like to take a peek behind the scenes - getting a sneak peek of how things run or a closer look at the inner workings? That's what today's podcast is about. You are getting a sneak peek at what group coaching looks like inside The Collective! The women I meet with monthly are amazing, inspiring and ACTION takers! It's been so much fun to watch the progress unfold these past six months. It's not fast action, but it's intentional action. It's action aligned with their personal styles, stories and goals for having homes they delight in! Today's questions are all as different as the homes they come from: 1. Jenny asks which bench to put inside her entryway, but might be surprised to learn that what I recommend is actually a small entry table. 2. Nicole is in desperate need of a paint job and wonders which shade of white to choose and notices how each swatch of paint is pulling a different undertone. 3. Dee is curious why I am recommending a curved mirror for her entry way table and the concept of contrast and soft lines is introduced. Even if the question isn't from them specifically, there's learning opportunities available! Would you like to make progress on your home too? Join us inside The Collective, where there's always more room at the table!   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

• 327 // Budget friendly tips for repurposing and updating your home decor with things you already own

  Hey friend! So you're ready for a little update or refreshing your space and you don't have a large budget? Using what you already have is easier than you might think, but knowing how to use it can require a bit of imagination. In today's episode I'm sharing my 5 Rs - a strategy I use when I'm ready for a fresh new look in my home that doesn't require an expensive bill or putting items on credit. 5 Rs or updating or refreshing your home deocr 1. Reimagine: Getting yourself into a posture of creativity will help you to see potential changes that you may not have seen before. 2. Rearrange: There are NO rules that say where you have your furniture today is where it needs to be shackled for the next fifteen years. Move it around, experiment, play, have fun! 3. Remove & Replace: Basically - shop the house. Try furniture or small accessories in different rooms. Swap out lamps, side tables, textiles in order to refresh another space. And goodness...check your cupboards and storage for forgotten treasures. 4. Rethink: If you have only look at a dresser and say that dresser can only do ONE job...think again! Rethink its purpose (and beauty) by thinking about how it can function in a different space for a different purpose. Example: a lowboy dresser being used as a sideboard in the dining room. Guaranteed, no one else in the neighborhood will be using the same one. 5. Repair: If you have something that you love that feels beyond repair...think again. Fix it, zhuzh it - paint, stain, new knobs, legs, pole wrap, caning, lighting, wallpaper backing...if you can think it, you can do it.   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................
