Recently I’ve been fully focused on redecorating my office (more to come on the blog soon), as I’ve shared on Instagram, but in the process I’ve been thinking about ways to clear out other parts of my house. I’ll be pulling some furniture from other parts of the house, so there will be a bit of shifting around. We are acquiring my parent’s piano since they sold their home and I’m happy to have that in the house! I haven’t played since I quit in about 5th grade, but I hope to give the kids lessons or perhaps practice again myself.
In terms of thinking about detoxing the house post-summer, Nicole had some great ideas.
She suggested “quieting” the house before putting up fall decor, and frankly September is the perfect month for that. When September hits, I start to crave fall but it’s still in the 90’s for most of the month so it just doesn’t feel right-and I mean that literally. It doesn’t feel right/good to cover up with a blanket in September-it’s too hot! So “quieting” the house, removing all the knick-knacks and simplifying your decor or cleaning up from the summer without adding anything new, is the perfect way to create a fresh start for the fall season.
Gather up any summertime scented candles to store away, pack up beach or pool supplies (make sure everything is dry!) and store in a air-tight container for the fall and winter. Take a good, hard look at your rugs and door...
