Resolution #2 - Lighten up...

Still on track with your resolutions one week into the new year? We had a few - some  we have managed to blow off already - but they weren't any fun anyway. We still like resolution #2: "lighten-up".  Yes - it can mean food, gimlets, shopping - weight is an obvious. Those are all pretty tough to curb.

Quaint living room with blue sofa, patterned blue and white pillows, white tray on coffee table, and two blue ottomans.

But we can handle "lighten-up" when it comes to home design! Color, clutter - we love purging furniture and tchotchkes - it's a great way to lighten up and you can have your cake (and eat it too!) Toss those doodads, slipcover the dirty salsa-stained sofas. Add some colorful oomph to your life! We recommend starting with a palette you love. Next, pick a coffee table that works with your seating plan and fill in from there. There should always be a place to rest your gimlet, a colorful pillow to pull in an accent color, and extra pull-up seating, i.e. - oomph cubes or ottoman.

Two striped upholstered chairs with dark wooden legs are placed at a light wood table with a backgammon board. White built-in shelves and cabinets are in the background.

Prefer a neutral, soothing scheme? We have that covered too. Call us if you need help - we can head you in the right direction. It should be fun and a wonderful lift to your room and life! And who doesn't need a little bit of that?
