<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You have just started working from home and you are searching for advice on how to "get the job done". This is your first time on "remote office work" and probably you are, like thousands of us, in "self - isolation" mode. It is perfectly normal to face difficulties, have your mind constantly on your kids and their whereabouts (or your spouse, parents etc.) and at the same time in a repeated search of what is going on in the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But you have to stay focused and successfully accomplish your daily work tasks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So here are 5 tips that will make your working hours from home more productive!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Get up and get dressed</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although it seems really tempting to stay in your pajamas, say no before it is too late. Your mindset will turn from home-time to work-time the moment you look yourself in the mirror, dressed up and ready to start your day. Formal look or sporty chic look, it all depends on your personal style and work needs. Don't forget that during working hours, you might have to attend a call or a meeting through web camera. You have to look like a pro, even if you are working from your kitchen table.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Set boundaries</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Working from home doesn't mean "I am available all day long". So set a schedule with your family members on possible interruptions during your working hours. Same stands for your friends too, no, they cannot call you or asking you to participate in morning coffee meetings through Skype. You are working, even if this time you are not in the office.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Begqe-ziQ7U/XnwLQtwQXqI/AAAAAAAAFCY/xQTNpi0wWSoohSEtjJiwDvF8GxhOM4WwACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/home%2Boffice%2Bdecor%2Bideas%2Bwomen%2Btips%2B02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="705" data-original-width="564" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Begqe-ziQ7U/XnwLQtwQXqI/AAAAAAAAFCY/xQTNpi0wWSoohSEtjJiwDvF8GxhOM4WwACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/home%2Boffice%2Bdecor%2Bideas%2Bwomen%2Btips%2B02.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Social media distancing</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Again, this is your working schedule, you have tasks to complete. If social media interactions are not part of your job, stay away from scrolling through new posts on Facebook, new photos on Instagram or even worst, all those new videos on TikTok. Just because your boss is miles away, that doesn't mean that you are free to act like it is the weekend. Remember, you are a pro, just get the job done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Make a real call with a colleague </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You are working alone, no boss and no colleagues around. You have nobody to talk to, nobody to actually smile and say good morning. Although you are in contact through web apps constantly with your team, chances are you will probably speak not a single word for hours. So during lunch break, pick up the phone and make one call, just to have a real conversation. It will help both of you to feel less alone and isolated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Take a break</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A thing that is missing from your life right now, is the amount of time that needed for you to return home. You don't have to drive home from work, or get into a bus, a train, the tube, the underground etc. All you have to do is walk from one room to another. That means that your mind doesn't have the time (that used to have) to switch from work-time to home-time. So when you finish work, give yourself a break. Switch off your computer and just lay back for ten minutes. Take a few deep breaths and let your brain ease and relax. Stand up and stretch a bit, work is over for today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When it comes to teen girls and their bedrooms, one has to keep in mind that it is more than just a space to sleep at night. Teenagers tend to need "their own space", not just a room with a bed. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Young ladies want a space that reflects their new style, according to modern trends, with a more mature look than the bedroom of their childhood era. They still love their toys, especially beloved stuffed animals and want to keep them around.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So if you are facing the problem of how to turn a toddler's room into a teen room, here are 19 Teen Girl's Bedroom Ideas to inspire you!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">And of course, there is the vanity space. Yes, you may still consider your daughter as a little angel, but she is a young lady now that needs her personal make-up spot. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Use a rack and plain cabinets. After all, even when there is a closet in the room, you know that all the clothes will be hanging around! So give your young lady her personal rack, feeling like she has a fashion store in her own bedroom! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Maximalist Decor Style has reinvented itself in the new century.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After many years and millions of texts and videos of "how to get into minimalism" and "how to declutter your home", it seems that we are back at "More is More" but in an organized way this time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some experts consider the return of the Maximalism trend as an inevitable birth, as a result of the modern era hippies that called themselves New Bohemians and now they have growned up into maturity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f2iSUzJsaD0/XVGS0z5k0lI/AAAAAAAAE1M/5A3ZpRuRGqM96FYaM7_YDcx15ZSTNpCqACLcBGAs/s1600/the-lab-on-the-roof-maximalistic-style-trend-ideas-01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="564" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f2iSUzJsaD0/XVGS0z5k0lI/AAAAAAAAE1M/5A3ZpRuRGqM96FYaM7_YDcx15ZSTNpCqACLcBGAs/s1600/the-lab-on-the-roof-maximalistic-style-trend-ideas-01.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So if you want to experiment with the Maximalist Decor Trend, here are a few ideas to get you started! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2N6RigRiSE8/XVGS1E7ZQCI/AAAAAAAAE1U/XGS2thf09FAyl1JUa0yQuLC7SfVq7q2IwCLcBGAs/s1600/the-lab-on-the-roof-maximalistic-style-trend-ideas-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="564" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2N6RigRiSE8/XVGS1E7ZQCI/AAAAAAAAE1U/XGS2thf09FAyl1JUa0yQuLC7SfVq7q2IwCLcBGAs/s1600/the-lab-on-the-roof-maximalistic-style-trend-ideas-02.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">More is more, even on the floor. </span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Geometrical patterns that appear through carefully placed tiles, create a unique result. Floor is transforming into an art gallery.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Colorful carpets becoming a statement, not just a useful object.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gallery walls, displaying mix&match collections, not with an order we were used to see as far as now. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's all about hanging it all up there!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wallpapers are back and are here to stay. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bold motifs, oversized, inspired by nature. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want to go into two-toned style, go big. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Big eclectic sofa, bold colors. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">More is more, as always in Maximalism. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You might wonder what exactly "<b>Bohemian Style</b>" stands for.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_style" target="_blank">wikipedia</a>, <i>"In modern use, the term "Bohemian" is applied to people who live unconventional, usually artistic, lives. The
original "Bohemians" were travellers or refugees from central Europe
(hence, the French bohémien, for "gypsy")."</i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to home decor, applying a Bohemian Interior Design, means that you are about to break the rules of conventional design. You are about to create something that stands out from the crowd, has no order or discipline, is the exact opposite of structural minimalism and there is not a spot left uncovered! This decor style is as diverse as the individuals that live in it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a <b>11 steps How-to Guide</b> to get you through the transformation.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Are you feeling overwhelmed in your home? Do you get triggers that something is not "working" right? Negative energy (by people, objects or feelings) can linger around for days, months or even years, especially if you are an empathic personality.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So here are 7 tips for you to try, to get your space (and yourself) clean and free!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Declutter & Reclaim your space</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We fill our home with objects that fulfill a specific purpose. When that purpose is over, we truly no longer need these objects anymore, but we are used at their presence and we don't want to say goodbye easily (same with some people too).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We attract what we are. So as you reclaim your space, remember one thing:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Focus on the things you want to Keep, </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">not those that have to go away.</span></i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Print this list and start:<span style="font-weight: normal;"> <a href="http://rooflab.blogspot.com/2017/01/101-items-to-declutter-right-now.html" target="_blank">101+ items to declutter right now</a></span> </span></span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Go big, go Green!</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A natural filter for negative energy. Flowers, plants, indoor kitchen herb garden. We are talking about real plants here, the ones that grow and blossom. If you are keen on plastic flowers or fake pots, I would suggest you to remove them, as they only attract dust and foggy energy around them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Keep your windows open, natural sunlight is after all the best medicine.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Salt</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nature's most easily applied bad energy collector. Salt baths, salt sprinkles around your home, a glass bowl with water and salt indoors, etc.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Many claim that it works with people too, it keeps the ones with bad energy away from your home. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are many ways to use salt, as clearing and grounding tool. Let me know if you want a post dedicated to salt benefits.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. White Sage Smudging</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ancient's tool for "burning" bad energy away. Its smoke clouds are claimed to clean and purify energy fields, not only the human ones but of objects too.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can easily find white sage sticks online or even plant it on your own garden (keeps away bugs and insects too). Smudging fresh white sage is an easy thing to try, even if you are a beginner in cleansing rituals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Essential Oils</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The easiest way to use them, is in a room spray. Lavender is a good start, for peace and calmness. Spray away bad energy and relax!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to go a step more further with essential oils, let me know, as I've been working with them over the last few years.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">6. High Frequency Music</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Music is a medicine for the soul. It transforms energy instantly, can keep you calm, relaxed and the same effort goes for your space too.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fill your space with relaxing and cleansing sounds. YouTube is full with channels dedicated to relaxation and meditation music, I am sure you will find the one that suits you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">7. Crystals</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I am a crystal lover and gemologist trainee, crystals are my most powerful energy tool.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can wear them to protect you or put then in a bowl to protect your home. If you are a crystal beginner (or just curious about the ability of stones to clear bad energy) start with something simple.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Turquoise protects from bad energy (very popular gemstone as energy protector in the Mediterranean) and you can easily find it as raw stone or as gem set on jewels.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Black Tourmaline is an easy stone to work with. Leave it still, let it collect and clear bad energy from your space and then let it rest under sunlight to recharge.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus <i>Prunus</i>, particularly the Japanese cherry, <i>Prunus serrulata</i>, which is called <b>sakura</b> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize <b>clouds</b> due to their nature of blooming <i><span lang="fr" title="French language text">en masse</span></i>, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhist influence, and which is embodied in the concept of <b><i>mono no aware</i></b>. The association of the cherry blossom with <i>mono no aware</i> dates back to 18th-century scholar Motoori Norinaga. The transience of the blossoms, the exquisite beauty and volatility, has often been associated with mortality
and graceful and readily acceptance of destiny and karma; for this
reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized
often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cherry
blossom wallpaper or wall decals will help you to easily turn your
space into a spring one; wall tiles
are awesome for your bathroom or kitchen. You can DIY or buy cherry
blossom branches and use them for wreaths, centerpieces and any
arrangements, or just take fresh ones and rock them! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You may say that
cherry blossoms are too feminine
but you can always take dark tiles or neutral wall decals with cherry
blossoms, so will look appropriate even in a masculine interior. Get
inspired!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you’re looking for a quiet spot to relax or entertain a few friends, a
private garden nook can provide the perfect escape in your own
backyard. In small gardens, nooks serve as focal points and inviting

area — perfect for having an intimate conversation away from a larger
party or enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. <br /><br />Here’s how to choose a spot for a nook and eight design moves to make it feel like your very own secret garden destination. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>1. Choose the right spot for a nook. </b>A pair of cafe chairs
plunked in the middle of a lawn, patio or other open space doesn’t feel
nearly as cozy and inviting as the same chairs tucked in at the end of a
path, backed by a garden wall and surrounded by leafy greenery. <br /><br />To
create an intimate nook-like seating area, look for sites in the garden
that feel secluded and somewhat enclosed. Alcoves created by hedges,
walls and fences, or an area under a large shade tree, are good bets for
placing a small seating area.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In <a href="http://rooflab.blogspot.gr/2013/09/13-small-garden-ideas.html" target="_blank">small gardens</a> and narrow rectangular lots, position chairs so they
are nestled in a corner or backed by a wall, hedge or large potted
plants and oriented to look outward. This arrangement will provide a
nook-like feeling of privacy and security.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>2. Keep furniture flexible. </b>Areas of a garden that feel like
inviting nooks can change both with the seasons and the time of day. To
avoid limiting your options, use easy-to-move furniture, like
lightweight chairs, to be able to easily change the position and
arrangement of your seating nook. <br /><br />Swap out furniture as needed.
For example, a small foldable cafe table used in spring and summer could
be traded for a movable fire pit to anchor a seating nook in fall and
winter.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>3. Lay a dreamy walkway. </b>Make the route to the seating nook feel like a magical journey by laying stepping stones surrounded by soft ground covers
and planting lush foliage plants and fragrant blooms close by — so you
might catch a hint on your walk. Depending on what time of day you plan
on using the space, subtle outdoor lighting can add the final romantic touch to evening destinations.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>4. Screen for privacy. </b>Nothing ruins the feeling of a secret
hideaway like being able to see straight into a neighbor’s house from
your seating nook. Increase privacy by using fencing, walls or strategic
planting to cover at least two sides of a nook. <br /><br />Bamboo is a
great choice for small gardens in need of quick cover. The plant grows
faster than almost any other, and its skinny, upright form doesn’t take
up too much floor space in a small area. </span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>5. Add a ceiling. </b>Depending on climate, protection from rain and
wind in the winter or sun in the summer can make a big difference in how
much you enjoy your outdoor seating nook. Choose among shade sails,
pergolas or a waterproof awning, depending on what you need. Even if
it’s not necessary from a climate perspective, seating areas can benefit
from a ceiling to give them the appealing feeling of being tucked in
under a structure, looking out at the garden.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>6. Create a romantic entrance. </b>Nothing quite sets the stage for
an intimate seating nook like passing through some type of alluring,
perhaps partially hidden, entrance. Set that secret garden tone early
on, and set the space apart from the rest of the garden by using a
garden gate or an archway that’s dripping in vines.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>7. Break up a larger garden into smaller nooks. </b>This technique, a
bit counterintuitively, works well even in small gardens and narrow
city lots. By interrupting how far you can see across a yard, one’s eye
is tricked into thinking the space is bigger than it is. <br /><br />The
screening itself, whether you’re using fencing, walls or hedges,
provides a perfect opportunity for nestling in a seating arrangement.
Here, the designer used wood slat screens running laterally across the
lot to selectively interfere with how far you can see and carve out
multiple nooks for seating.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>8. Surround with greenery. </b>Surrounding a garden nook with foliage
plants not only helps with privacy and makes the space feel more like a
secret garden, it also ups your chances of being right up close to wild
birds visiting your garden. <br /><br />To enclose a garden seating area
with greenery, leave room for planting a variety of perennials, shrubs
and trees in beds around a patio or in large pots. Hanging a feeder or
including pollinator-friendly plants like nectar-rich salvia or cape
honeysuckle will help attract wild birds to your garden, if this is also
one of your goals.</span></span><br />

both budget and effort by investing in a garden room that can function
as a four-season seating nook for reading, tackling hobbies or hosting
friends. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ice-cream pastels, glittery golds, indigo blues and super zingy colour pops, these are all trends for this year. Take a look at some of my favourites and read how to put them together in your home. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <b>1. EMBELLISHMENTS</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/housebeautiful.cdnds.net/18/04/1516890203-001-sainsburys-home-global-traveller-home-accessories.jpg?crop=1.0xw:1xh;center,top&resize=480:*" /> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> Macrame, fringing, tufting, tassels and feathers – you name it, it's here for this season and you'll see it on cushions, wall hangings, throws, rugs and accessories. This trend will add a wonderful handmade quality to each room, beautiful tactile cushions on the sofa and a sumptuous throw with tassels on the bed, and a wall-hanging or two on plain walls to add interest. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">2.

This year it's all about tiles, wallpaper and art. Seen here is a bold design being used to striking effect, no, it's not tiles, it's actually a specially designed decorative membrane that is so watertight it can also be used directly on the walls of a shower or as a kitchen splashback.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><b><br /><span style="font-size: large;">4.

And it seems the more the merrier, so pop down to your local garden centre and <a href="http://rooflab.blogspot.gr/2015/10/11-ladder-plant-stand-deco-ideas.html" target="_blank">invest in some stunning plants</a>. Place them in each room, use hanging plants for shelves and mantelpieces and some lovely leafy beauties for bare corners and coffee/side tables. Team them with some lush green pieces like this charming armchair, stylish pendants, a textured rug and some stripy green cushions for added interest. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">5. INDIGO BLUES</span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/housebeautiful.cdnds.net/18/04/1280x1706/gallery-1516891139-005-marksandspencer-867002.jpg?resize=480:*" /> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.housebeautiful.com%2Fuk%2Fdecorate%2Flooks%2Fnews%2Fa3221%2Ftop-spring-summer-2018-interior-trends%2F&description=10%20of%20the%20hottest%20SS18%20interior%20trends&media=https%3A%2F%2Fhips.hearstapps.com%2Fhousebeautiful.cdnds.net%2F18%2F04%2F1516891139-005-marksandspencer-867002.jpg%3Fresize%3D1600%3A%2A"> </a> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">As an antidote to the pastel tones, another colour trend is <a href="http://rooflab.blogspot.gr/2016/12/11-inspiring-ideas-in-cobalt-blue.html" target="_blank">inky blues</a>. If painting a whole room in one of these shades seems overwhelming then simply <a href="http://rooflab.blogspot.gr/2016/07/home-deco-inspiration-in-white-and.html" target="_blank">accessorise instead with vases and flowers</a>. Pick different shapes in a mixture of styles, so some coloured glass and others embossed stoneware, like these seen here. Vary the heights and widths to create an interesting display. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">6.

If you don't feel brave enough to try it yourself on walls, then source a wallpaper instead. Once you have chosen your colourway, co-ordinate your accessories to complement the wall colours using a mix of plains and prints. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">7. GLITTERY GOLD</span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/housebeautiful.cdnds.net/18/04/4000x5175/gallery-1516892731-007-swoon-sideboard-134-2.jpg?resize=480:*" /> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.housebeautiful.com%2Fuk%2Fdecorate%2Flooks%2Fnews%2Fa3221%2Ftop-spring-summer-2018-interior-trends%2F&description=10%20of%20the%20hottest%20SS18%20interior%20trends&media=https%3A%2F%2Fhips.hearstapps.com%2Fhousebeautiful.cdnds.net%2F18%2F04%2F1516892731-007-swoon-sideboard-134-2.jpg%3Fresize%3D1600%3A%2A"> </a> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Last year the metallic trend started to filter through into paints and metal finishes, this year gold is the key colour. Softer than silver, it brings its own elegance together with a sense of decadence. You'll see gold detailing like door knobs and handles, gold lamp bases and picture frames. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">8. COLOUR POPS </span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/housebeautiful.cdnds.net/18/04/1516894716-008-amara-arcade-carry-over-blue-bedroom-6.jpg?crop=1.0xw:1xh;center,top&resize=480:*" /> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.housebeautiful.com%2Fuk%2Fdecorate%2Flooks%2Fnews%2Fa3221%2Ftop-spring-summer-2018-interior-trends%2F&description=10%20of%20the%20hottest%20SS18%20interior%20trends&media=https%3A%2F%2Fhips.hearstapps.com%2Fhousebeautiful.cdnds.net%2F18%2F04%2F1516894716-008-amara-arcade-carry-over-blue-bedroom-6.jpg%3Fresize%3D1600%3A%2A"> </a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Bold pops of colour is one of the strongest trends coming through for us this season. This trend is all about <a href="http://rooflab.blogspot.gr/2015/01/9-steps-from-boring-to-boho.html" target="_blank">mixing bright colours</a> together. It's strong, but easily manageable if you have one or two main colours to start with that 'ground' the rest of the look. For example, as shown here, it's the blue bedding and the neutral walls. The cushions, rug and curtains bring a zingy element to the scheme as well as the yellow light and the orange panel. Use textures to layer the look and don't be afraid to team patterns and stripes together. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">9. TROPICAL</span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/housebeautiful.cdnds.net/18/04/768x1174/gallery-1516911609-house-of-fraser-hot-tropics.png?resize=480:*" /> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.housebeautiful.com%2Fuk%2Fdecorate%2Flooks%2Fnews%2Fa3221%2Ftop-spring-summer-2018-interior-trends%2F&description=10%20of%20the%20hottest%20SS18%20interior%20trends&media=https%3A%2F%2Fhips.hearstapps.com%2Fhousebeautiful.cdnds.net%2F18%2F04%2F1516911609-house-of-fraser-hot-tropics.png%3Fresize%3D1600%3A%2A"> </a> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Punchy brights teamed with gold are the key to this happy trend.

<span style="font-size: large;"> Your home should be an oasis from your everyday hustle and grind. When you walk through the door, you should be blessed with a hygge-filled home where candles automatically light themselves and you’re instantly greeted with a peace of mind. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But until that technology comes to fruition, we hard-working ladies have to find a way to maintain our everyday-staycation spots so they look good enough to appear on our Pinterest feeds. The trick? Cleaning our houses every single day. Scroll below for <b>12 things you can do</b> to make sure your house is clean all the time. <br /> <br /><b>1. Make the bed when you first wake up </b><br /><br />The minute you jump out of bed, the first thing you should do (besides drinking a large glass of water) is make your bed. It will take you less than a minute to do, and it will automatically make your room look put-together. <br /><br /><b>2. Put away clean dishes from the night before while you make breakfast </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Just because you’re waiting for your eggs to cook or coffee to brew doesn’t mean you should automatically go on your phone and scroll. Instead, put away the dishes you cleaned the night before so you have room on your drying rack or inside your dishwasher to complete another round. <br /><br /><b>3. Pick up any leftover loose items from the night before</b> <br /><br />Sometimes when you just had a long day at the office, the last thing you want to do is to pick up your house. When you have one of those off days, make it a priority to clean your living room/kitchen in the morning. Fold that blanket, throw away those used napkins, and put those empty dinner drinks in the sink. All you need is five minutes to make everything seem presentable again. <br /><br /><b>4. Hang up your clothes and put away your shoes when you get home from work </b><br /><br />I know it can feel like a pain to hang up your clothes when you get home from work, but doing so will save you a lot of time. When you do, you’ll know exactly where everything is and won’t panic trying to find that one specific item when you’re running late to work. <br /> <br /><b>5. Clean food scraps while you cook </b><br /><br />Cleaning while you cook is an easy and effective way to minimize the stress of making dinner. Throw away food scraps when you’re done cutting up the vegetables and do a few dishes while your food is cooking. By the time dinner is done, you’ll probably have already done the majority of the work. <br /><br /> <b>6. Arrange couch pillows before you go to bed</b> <br /><br />After you’ve watched your latest binge, turn off the TV and fix the pillows on your couch. Neatly style them so they look like you never sat there in the first place and are presentable to look at first thing in the morning. <br /> <br /><b>7. Wipe down the kitchen counters after you cook </b><br /><br />Not only do you need to do the dishes and throw away the food scraps, you also want to clean the kitchen counters when you’re done cooking. All you need is a cleansing wipe to easily get rid of bacteria and spills, so you don’t have to scrub at them in the morning. <br /> <br /><b>8. Wipe down your bathroom counter after you do your beauty routine</b> <br /><br />After completing your nighttime regime, take a sponge and clean around the sink to get rid of any hair, toothpaste, or makeup. And while you’re at it, clean your mirror so you won’t be distracted by dirt and dust when you’re trying to do your hair. <br /> <br /><b>9. Do a load of laundry if you accumulate enough items</b> <br /><br />If you happen to have kids or live with a SO who goes through clothes like it’s nothing, it might be a good idea to do a load of laundry at the end of each day. Doing so will save you time and prevent you from spending a full day washing and folding items. <br /><br /> <b>10. Sanitize the remote controls and phone</b> <br /><br />Take five minutes and a sanitizer wipe to the remote controls and your phone. These two things can carry a lot of germs because we’re constantly touching them with our hands. <br /> <br /><b>11. Give objects a permanent home </b><br /><br />If you tend to easily lose things, you may want to begin to give certain items a permanent home. Have a place by your door where you can hang your keys, put your shoes and your jacket, and put a basket on top of your coffee table where you can throw your mail or your remotes. Creating multiple sections like these in your home will allow your house to look neat without having miscellaneous things everywhere. <br /><br /><b>12. Deal with spills right when they happen</b> <br /><br />When you’ve accidentally spilled your morning juice on your glass coffee table or have a glass of wine fall on your carpet, you don’t want to wait a day or two to clean up the spill; it will be 10 times harder to clean it up. Instead, clean it up right then and there so you don’t have to deal with it come morning. <br /> <br />Do you maintain your home on a daily basis? What are some tricks you do to keep it clean and tidy?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Setting your home back to normal, is a great way to transition from the holiday season to a fresh new year start. For many people, the week between Christmas and New Year’s can be chaotic, with the kids home from school, the grown-ups off work and winter weather keeping everyone indoors. Most of us, after Jan. 2, we’re ready to be done with the holiday season for good. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />In case that describes you, <b>here are some tips</b> for getting your home back (or maybe a little better too)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Organize and Store Holiday Decor</b></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b>1. Corral your outdoor decorations.</b> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As most people do, place your outdoor items all together for easy retrieval next December. Before packing <b>lights</b>, replace burned-out bulbs and dispose of strands not working properly. <b>Wreaths</b> take a bit of special care to preserve their shape. Keep them in storage containers specifically designed for wreaths, making sure your containers can accommodate bows and other attachments without squishing them. <b>Garlands</b> can be wrapped and tied with twine and stored in large boxes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mitRrsF5xOk/WkwP-VK2rkI/AAAAAAAAESo/r6nLkeqipboyAswWbV9Syu6w7gX54PbjQCLcBGAs/s1600/tips-to-get-your-home-back-in-order-the-lab-on-the-roof-04.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="848" data-original-width="564" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mitRrsF5xOk/WkwP-VK2rkI/AAAAAAAAESo/r6nLkeqipboyAswWbV9Syu6w7gX54PbjQCLcBGAs/s1600/tips-to-get-your-home-back-in-order-the-lab-on-the-roof-04.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> <b>2. Arrange for tree disposal or storage.</b> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In many areas, Christmas trees get collected curbside during the first two weeks in January, usually on your normal trash day. Be sure to remove all lights, tinsel, ornaments and the stand. If you have an <b>artificial tree</b>, keep in mind that the original cardboard box it came in won’t protect the tree from mold, moisture and pests. You may want to consider purchasing a container designed specifically for Christmas tree storage to help your tree last through the years.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> <b>3. Declutter your indoor decorations before storing.</b> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Many of us receive <b>ornaments</b> as gifts and tend to leave our older, less popular decor packed in storage boxes year after year. So before you store your decor, assess what’s already in your boxes. Let go of items that you don’t really like, and toss anything broken or damaged. <b>Larger decor</b> can be stored in large plastic storage boxes with an airtight lid to protect items from moisture.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Get Your House Back in Order</span> </span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b>1. Clean out the refrigerator and pantry. </b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During the holiday season, these areas often get stuffed with leftover food and holiday cookies. Take the time to pull out all your containers of uneaten leftovers and survey their freshness. Also toss out any stale baked goods. Once you’ve addressed the food, take a few minutes to wipe down refrigerator and pantry shelves so they’ll be ready for your next grocery trip.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Tidy up the guest room. </span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you had overnight visitors for the holidays, change the sheets and clean the room. Having clean sheets on the bed and a tidy room will make it much easier the next time you host overnight guests.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, Take Time to Be Thankful</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Once your house is back in order, <b>take some time to relax</b>, sit down with a cup of tea and write thank-you notes or emails. You should send a written note anytime you receive a gift and the giver wasn’t there to be thanked in person. If the gift is from a close friend or relative, though, a call or email is acceptable.</span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we talk about Christmas decor, our first words are usually on white, winter and snow. This post was inspired after a conversation with a dear friend of mine, on pure white and Christmas spirit.</span></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>So, my dear friend of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LiveLoveHopeJewelry/" target="_blank">Live, Love, Hope</a>, this one is for you. </i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most of us are familiar with the Scandinavian style in home decor, through our visits in Ikea shops. <b>Scandinavian, or Nordic style </b>as it is also known,
is very attractive and fashionable today because it’s rustic,
minimalist and cozy at the same time. (take a moment now and think about your favorite Ikea items, with the strange names you cannot pronounce - me neither - and you'll get exactly the feeling of rustic and cozy).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Scandinavian style is so inspiring for
Christmas decor as <b>Scandinavian people know well what a real winter is</b>.
Natural wood, black and white, fir tree wreaths and rustic lanterns
compose a classical Nordic decor. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">So when you think of Scandinavian Christmas, think of <b>white minimalism</b>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here are <b>25 Scandinavian style Inspired White Christmas Decoration Ideas</b> for you to inspire! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Time changed on Sunday, signalling the official end of
summertime and the start of winter hibernation at home. The days will
be shorter, and evenings will be darker - but dark doesn’t necessarily
mean gloomy.</span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
The temptation is to maximize light in the home with
white walls and pale-coloured furniture, but an alternative trend that
has been building pace in recent years is to embrace the darkness and
create warm, cosseting interiors with inky tones. Done right, it’s a
surefire way to create an elegant look. </span><br />

<strong>Paint it black</strong></h3>
<span class="m_first-letter">D</span>ark walls seem to some a curious
choice in a country starved of natural light - but going dark can be the clever option. If you have a small dark room,
painting it white isn’t going to give you anything other than a
small dark room painted white. White needs natural light to
bounce off and do its job of lightening; without that, it will just look
drab and dreary. <br />

Dark colours recede. When a room is painted a dark colour, the colour
will actually make the room look larger, rather than bringing the walls
in.<br />

<strong>Go gothic</strong></h3>

colours can currently be found across the board on furniture and
accessories but to avoid an overly matt, dusty effect, the key
is to go for luxe textures. Wool and velvet are good choices for
upholstery, and anything with a touch of sheen will lift the look.
Mirrored surfaces are also key in a dark room - on tables, sideboards,
chests and accessories, as well as on the wall.<br />

Splashes of bold, bright colour - even neon, for the brave - will
make a strong statement, but cool pastel shades on furniture and
accessories also contrast beautifully with darker tones. Blush pink - a
trend that doesn’t appear to be going anywhere - is a good foil for
charcoal grey.<span class="m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged"> A</span>nother
trend that has migrated from the catwalk to the sofa is dark floral
motifs.<br />

<h3>
<strong>Top tips for dark decorating</strong> </h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li>When choosing a paint colour, you need to see it in natural and
electric light; the chances are you will see it more under the latter,
and paint can change according to the light and the time of day. </li>
<li>There are tricks to making a room look larger; you could paint the
back of the door to match the walls. The less you have to break up the
space, the calmer and bigger it will look - picking out skirting and
panelling in white will distract the eye. </li>
<li>To banish any incipient gloom, layer lots of lights - ceiling,
floor, task and table - and if you’re starting from the beginning,
install dimmers. </li>
<li>Always bring in metallics, such as cushions and lamps, to add
reflective surfaces. Pale rugs will provide a good contrast
to dark furniture. </li>
<li>The classic route is to buy flamboyant cushions for a dark chair,
but I would turn that on its head and go for a chair in a pattern that
makes your heart sing, and bring it down with a dark cushion.</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>1. The Behind-Closed-Doors Clutterer</b><br /> <br /> Symptoms<br /> <br /> Home looks pristine and well organized—until you start opening closet doors and are suddenly buried by file folders, moth-eaten coats, broken lamps, old kitchen appliances, paper towels, holiday decorations, and shopping bags full of purchases no one ever got around to returning. The BCD clutterer, Walsh explains, "lives in some flawless future universe instead of creating solutions that work today."<br /> <br /> Perpetrators<br /> <br />Perfectionists, control freaks, harried working moms, anyone who's time-starved and overbooked; perfectionists. <br /> <br /> <br />Walsh's Three-Step Plan</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> 1. Get over yourself. <br /><br /> "With clutter, the great is the enemy of the good," says Walsh. In other words, that injury-inducing hall closet is the manifestation of your shame at failing to live up to your own unrealistically high housekeeping expectations. <br /> <br /> 2. Start with small, manageable chunks. <br /><br /> "This type of clutter is about delayed decisions," says Walsh. If perfecting a chic shoe-organizing system or deciding which wedding gifts to return is too difficult, start with something less emotionally laden, like the tangle of paper clips overrunning your junk drawer. Better yet, confine the task to a time frame: I will clean this closet for exactly 15 minutes. The next day, repeat. <br /> <br /> 3. Enlist a friend. <br /> <br /> If you can't find time to spontaneously tackle your secret messes, schedule it—and invite a trusted relative or friend to help. By ceding some control to an impartial outsider, you'll keep things in perspective and make the process much more fun. Are you really going to repair those cracked candelabras? And what on Earth are you still doing with that neon green '80s-issue ski jacket?<br /> <br /><b>2. The Knowledge Clutterer</b><br /> <br /> Symptoms<br /> <br />Stockpiles every book she has ever read or hopes to read, and/or every issue of Architectural Digest ever published—believing, as Walsh explains, "that if she owns the book, then she somehow owns the knowledge, even if she never reads the book or takes it off the shelf." When she encounters an interesting article online, prints it and stashes it in an overstuffed file folder.<br /> <br /> Perpetrators<br /> <br />Book club members; enthusiasts of coffee table tomes on interior design; recent college grads wanting to show off their feminist poetry collections.<br /> <br />Walsh's Three-Step Plan <br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Go digital whenever possible. <br /> <br /> While nothing can replace a beloved, well-worn novel, "We have an entire library at our disposal nowadays via the Internet," says Walsh. "It's not necessary to own hard copies of everything." In other words, those guilty-pleasure page-turners, celebrity memoirs, and how-to books you'll read only once can live on your e-reader. And when you come across an interesting article online, e-mail yourself the URL and store these e-mails in folders labeled "interesting articles" or "weeknight dinner recipe<br /> <br /> 2. Manage magazines. <br /> <br /> Certain issues (of O, for example!) you'll just want to hold on to forever. But if your living room is blanketed with weeklies dating to 2007, consider implementing a system: Keep the current issue and two back issues. As new titles arrive, donate the old ones to a local hospital. And remember: "The definition of a periodical is that there is always another one coming," Walsh says.<br /> <br /> 3. Establish clear limits. <br /> <br /> Walsh suggests designating a clearly defined area for your book and magazine collection, whether that means one shelf or six. "What matters is that when you've filled the allotted area, you donate an old title to make room for any new ones," he explains. To prevent your nightstand from being swallowed by half-read paperbacks, try a bin or basket large enough to contain only three or four books; to add another, you must remove one first.<br /> <b><br />3. The Techie Clutterer</b><br /> <br /> Symptoms<br /> <br />Drawers, cabinets, and desk weighed down by a metastasizing tangle of cords, chargers, remotes, and half-full USB drives, many belonging to clunky devices dating to the '90s. <br /> <br /> Perpetrators<br /> <br />Twenty- and 30-something Apple devotees; eBay enthusiasts; grandparents terrified to pitch the cord that connects their digital camera to their computer. <br /> <br />Walsh's Three-Step Plan <br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Banish boxes. <br /> <br /> "There was a time when you could sell used electronics, so it made sense to keep the original packaging," says Walsh. Unfortunately, "no one wants your old gadgets anymore. Technology moves too fast." He recommends recycling an item's box within a month of purchase and donating old devices to a women's shelter. (When you move, pack your electronics in bubble wrap—or better yet, a towel.)<br /> <br /> 2. Label all wires. <br /> <br />With a label maker or small piece of masking tape, differentiate camera cords from BlackBerry chargers; note contents of all minidrives. If you're feeling ambitious, corral wires into a "charging station" to eliminate the nightly game of hide-and-seek with your phone cord.<br /> <br /> 3. Store smartly. <br /> <br /> Walsh suggests labeling four shoebox-size containers "look," "listen," "travel," and "data," and placing them on a shelf. "Look" stores anything visual (the charger and memory card for your camera); "Listen", anything audio related (iPod accessories, an iPhone car charger); "Travel," anything vacation related (a portable GPS, plug adaptors); and "Data"—well, you get the picture (mini flash drives, a wireless network card).<br /> <br /><b>4. The Sentimental Clutterer/Family Historian</b><br /> <br /> Symptoms <br /> <br />Hoards baby clothes, kindergarten papier-mâché creations, and grade school report cards belonging to fully grown offspring—wrongly assuming said offspring will someday want them; stores acres of unsorted boxes of deceased relatives' clothing, tchotchkes, and war memorabilia in attic, basement, and closets.<br /> <br /> Perpetrators <br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Besotted parents; empty nesters; women of a certain age who have suffered loss and/or who feel a responsibility to preserve family heirlooms and history.<br /> <br />Walsh's Three-Step Plan <br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Establish a hierarchy of value. <br /> <br /> "You must distinguish between your grandfather's World War II medals and the box of receipts he used to support his tax claims in 1982," says Walsh. In other words, distill ten boxes of family mementos down to one containing only the most meaningful items. Having a hard time parting with your great-grandmother's musty aprons? "Remember, no one who loved you and wanted what's best for you would want your life and home overrun with their stuff," says Walsh.<br /> <br /> 2. Start a family history wall. <br /> <br />Walsh suggests framing a few old photos alongside shadowboxes containing your mother's favorite ceramic piece or her beloved recipe cards—the things that most remind you of her or "make your heart sing when you look at them," says Walsh. "When you treat the real treasures with honor and respect, it becomes easier to let the rest go." <br /> <br /> 3. Establish limits on kids' artwork. <br /> <br />If your children are still young, stop the pileup in its tracks by prominently displaying one or two of each kid's best efforts in an Ikea frame or under Plexiglas on the kitchen table. Each week or month, let the child pick a new favorite piece. Photograph all other items and store the photos in yearly albums (while quietly disappearing the originals).<br /> <br /><b>5. The Bargain Shopper/Coupon Clutterer</b><br /> <br /> Symptoms <br /> <br />Prides herself on clipping coupons and sourcing online promotion codes; keeps her kitchen, bedroom, and garage stocked with three years' worth of paper towels, mixed nuts, and orange Tic Tacs; spends $10 on gas speeding to three different megastores to save $10 on diapers for children not yet born; "is driven by the misguided notion that 'if I own it, I am better off, regardless of what it does to my space, my finances, or my relationships,'" as Walsh puts it. <br /> <br /> Perpetrators</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Stay-at-home moms; retirees; anyone with a membership to Costco or Sam's Club.<br /> <br />Walsh's Three-Step Plan <br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Limit purchases you don't plan to use immediately. <br /><br /> "If you can't park your car in the garage because it's full of toilet paper, you may be out of control," says Walsh. He suggests designating just one area or shelf for bulk purchases; when it's full, stop buying.<br /> <br /> 2. Recognize that you're being had. <br /><br /> "In order to create a sense of urgency around bargains, retailers study and carefully design everything from lighting to floor texture to distance to the register," says Walsh. Feel like you're getting the steal of the year? That's probably by design, too.<br /> <br /> 3. Find a new hobby. <br /><br /> If you find yourself cruising Target or the grocery store on weekends while your husband is watching football, "maybe you should be more creative with your spare time," Walsh gently suggests. Play tourist in your own city; take a class; choose a local charity and donate your skills. Break your addiction to the cheap rush of bargains. "As my grandmother used to say," quips Walsh, "'you can go broke saving money.'"<br /> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Take
a minute and think about your stuff. Until now, you couldn't decide on
throwing them away because: there was no time for decluttering or they
are hiding "somewhere" in the house or you keep them around "just in
case".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All you have to do is <b>take the first step</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is <b>a list of 5 spots</b> you can declutter just in seven days</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Spices and Herbs</span></b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Empty
your pantry of herbs and spices and <b>clean</b> it. Check the <b>expiring dates</b>
of products. Tosh everything out of date. Clean the containers. If you
keep spices or herbs in many different kitchen spots, now is the time to
stock them up together, in the same pantry. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plastic packages can be put
in a basket or a plastic container, so your pantry will not mess
around. Note down anything you might miss and add it in your shopping
list.</span><br />

you need everything? Certainly not. During commercial breaks, you can
take a last glance and tear off the pages you actually need. It's easier
than it sounds! Set a goal to recycle this month at least as many as a
shopping bag can hold.</span><br />

ONE shopping bag of overweared clothes and shoes that you no longer
need (and no longer wear, since they are in bad condition). They are
taking over your storage space and there is no reason to keep them more.
Get rid of them!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's that time of the year that I get hundreds of emails and messages, all with one thing in common: Kate, I need your help, I got to organize my craft room/sewing room/my creative space right now!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To be honest, it is that time of the year that I have to organize my craft room too! </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You've probably read many quotes like this before. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But have you realized what a declutter home means for your mind?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's take a minute and think about <b>The Law of Attraction</b>; </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>we attract </i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>what we are</i></b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">so, as we can read at <a href="http://thelawofattraction.com/">thelawofattraction.com</a>,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Throwing away old things is a powerful way to give your mind clarity, focus, peace and balance.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Without even noticing it we surround ourselves with unnecessary,
energy-draining clutter. Clutter which creates a negative environment
and affects our mood in a bad way.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> You
will probably be surprised how many useless things you are holding on
to.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></i><i><span style="font-size: large;">Of course, cleaning stuff out can be a hard task, especially if you haven’t done it for a while.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> And you may not be able to throw out all of these things at the same
time. So maybe instead of setting aside a huge chunk of time to do this,
make this into a little challenge for yourself.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Dispose of one of these things every day.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"></span></i><i><span style="font-size: large;">And one more thing – by throwing out I also mean selling, donating,
giving away and recycling. </span></i></blockquote>

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Cobalt Blue</b> is an amazing color. Deeply shaded, vivid and with a dark brightness. Very similar to Royal Blue, it stands out when used in design elements and objects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As noted in Wikipedia:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Cobalt blue</b> is a blue pigment made by sintering cobalt(II) oxide with alumina at 1200 °C. Chemically, cobalt blue pigment is cobalt(II) oxide-aluminium oxide, or cobalt(II) aluminate, CoAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>. Cobalt blue is lighter and less intense than the (iron-cyanide based) pigment Prussian blue. It is extremely stable and has historically been used as a coloring agent in ceramics, (especially Chinese porcelain), jewelry, and paint. Transparent glasses are tinted with the silica-based cobalt pigment smalt.</span></i></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xlcBaZB8-7s/UJFvHCxRjEI/AAAAAAAABrs/4RzCtjZtxv0/s1600/inspireblue09.jpg" width="480" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U5nnBuvRUGo/UJFvAXHhd6I/AAAAAAAABqw/5tJuiybOOSg/s1600/inspireblue01.jpg" width="434" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;">It is now the most important of the cobalt pigments. Although smalt, a
pigment made from cobalt blue glass has been known at least since the
Middle Ages, the cobalt blue established in the nineteenth century was a
greatly improved one. </span><br />

<br />Cobalt blue in impure forms had long been used in Chinese porcelain, but it was independently discovered as a pure alumina-based pigment by Louis Jacques Thénard in 1802. Commercial production began in France in 1807. The first recorded use of <i>cobalt blue</i> as a color name in English was in 1777. The leading world manufacturer of cobalt blue in the 19th century was Benjamin Wegner's Norwegian company Blaafarveværket, ("blue colour works" in Dano-Norwegian). Germany was also famous for production, especially the blue colour works (<i>Blaufarbenwerke</i>) in the Ore Mountains of Saxony.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span><b>Shabby chic</b>
is a form of interior design, where furniture and furnishings are
either chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear or
where new items are distressed
to achieve the appearance of an antique. At the same time, a soft,
opulent, yet cottage-style decor, often with an affected feel, is
emphasized to differentiate it from genuine period decor.</span></span></span></i></blockquote>
