Get Ready to Decorate!

Surround yourself with the things you love
by Marie Mouradian

Is there an area of your home that needs some attention? Every time you walk by, does it make you feel uncomfortable?

In just a few short steps I will show you how to refresh an area such as your mantel, desk, dresser or kitchen counter.

• Take a photo as the area looks right now.
  Don't move anything, go get your camera and take the picture. You'll want a picture of the before to show off your decorating talent when the area is refreshed.
• Clear off and clean. Remove everything from the space and put on a table or floor. Get out my favorite invention, the Swifer, dust and polish to a white glove shine.
• Analyze what you have. Is it useful? Does it really belong there? Do you love it? If the answer is "no" to any of the above questions; put it away, give it away, donate it to a charity or feed the trash can.
• Put back only what you love and has a use. Don't you already feel lighter and energized?
• Take another photo. This will help you see what you need.
• Pour yourself a cup of tea, sit back and admire the fullness of a clear space. Congratulations, you have accomplished the first step in creating a beautiful home and life!
