You’ve stored the bling, baubles, and bits away in the attic. Rang in and toasted this sweet sixteen New Year with all kinds of seize your year dramatic.

Now as you awaken from the nog and dancing til dawn haze. You wonder who absconded with the happiness, the cheer, the mood making ways?

The mantle is naked, the house looks dingy and threadbare-not exactly the amazing space you cut out, glued, and envisioned to make this your year! Not to worry my dear, your New Year, New You intentions can still rock the stratosphere.

How your home makes you feel is important. Its my mantra, my creed, my hymn.  A home that makes you feel good is the biggest transformation…on the outside your home and your soul from within.

Decorating your home is more than mere pillows and paint, it’s a discovery of who you were, who you are or aspire to be.  Your home is an experience. Make it a good one. Life’s too short to live crappy.

I offer you three  decorating ideas for after the holidays. A few pick me ups you will surely praise.

  1. Add greenery or flowers, real or faux. It brings the outdoors in for harmonious flow.
  2. Introduce natural themes and elements like pinecones, feathers and snowflakes, trust me m’dear this decor is sure to banish the post holiday heartache.
