Hi!
aCCORssIt's a proven fact that clutter creates indecision and overwhelm. It can actually be very paralyzing at times and zap a good amount of joy from your life or home.
I bet if you take a good look around your home and in your life you will probably find a ton of things that you either don't use, don't need or don't particularly even want...
This month's homestaging tip focuses on cutting the clutter plus a little secret that will keep your screwdriver from slipping out of a groove.
Enjoy!
Cutting the Clutter
 Most of us, thanks to advertising of all kinds, from adverts at 10.00 pm at night for that juicy burger to the "you deserve it" hair colour campaigns, have learned to want every conceivable material object!
There are probably a ton of things in your home and your life that you either don't use, need or particularly even want... Clutter creates indecision, distractions and requires constant attention. Some, when contemplating the prospect of cleaning out the garage almost faint at the thought, as it is almost too overwhelming.
But don't worry! There is a way to Cut The Clutter, without losing your mind first! First of all, you need to start thinking about where you need to start, rooms, closets... Personally I would start with the closets. There is probably stuff in there that you have not used or seen in years! If so, this is a great opportunity to either give away, donate or sell what is hiding in there! Be happy about giving it away to someone who could really need it and love it!
However, if that is again a little bit too overwhelming for you then perhaps try some of the hints below: - Start with one room at a time. Never start another room, unless you are done with the previous one. Otherwise you will have a big pile of stuff on the floor and it will take you so much longer to accomplish your goal.
- Start from the entrance, sort out all items which don't belong there. You want to create a pleasant atmosphere at the entry point to your home.
- Every space is important when you are cutting the clutter, so make sure to look at all spaces, including under the bed!
Life becomes alot easier when you live in an organized home, and you will be surprised at how much more space you actually have now. Since your home speaks volumes about you, what are you waiting for! After all you are the one living in it! So start Cutting the Clutter in your home, and live your life with a huge difference!dd a welcoming fireplace, feature wallpaper (yes! wallpaper is back in) and smart fabrics to create a really cozy, easy-on-the-eye space. 3. Keep your space well organized with baskets for toys and an entire wall of shelves and cupboards for books, games and DVDs. 4. If you have a home office in this area use unobtrusive furniture and streamlined storage so that it blends into the living room scheme.
Use Wallpaper with Confidence
Wallpaper's back in the form of bold prints and luxurious finishes. Here are some tips on how to incorporate it into your home.
It's easy to fall for a wonderful paper design, only to find it doesn't work in your space. To avoid disappointment, ask yourself
CHALK IT UP!  To keep a SCREWDRIVER from slipping out of a groove, run both sides of the tip across a piece of chalk!
