Stage Your Home for Guests

 

Come this weekend, chestnuts will be roasting on the fire, bellies will still be full from Thanksgiving leftovers, bundles of packages will be wrapped under the tree & everyone will be tired.  It’s that time of year!  So much fun, celebrating, catching up & running around.  Family & friends will be descending on our homes for a meal, gathering or even overnight.

10 Items Every Home Should Have

Architectural Digest recently wrote a blog about 10 Items Every Home Should Have.  I was intrigued.  Even before I started reading, I started wondering. 

 

Would they be:
  • Essential safety tools like flashlights in every room should the lights go out
  • Pantry staples like double stuff Oreos….What?  You know you love them! 
  • Unique items like garden clippers in your kitchen for easy fresh bouquets every week
  • Common organizational tools—my personal fav—a label maker to ensure everything is labeled

Celebrity Closets

Oh to have an amazingly beautiful closet like a celebrity’s where space is not a restriction and designer names drip from hangers and shelves.  Architectural Digest recently gave us a peek into several celebrity closets; Mariah Carey, Elton John, Khloé Kardashian, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Nina Garcia, Gisele Bündchen, Brooke Shields, Ellen DeGeneres, Tommy Hilfiger to name drop a bit.  

 

We thought it would be super fun to peek in and compare our meager closets to their closet palaces.  

 

Here are 3 things I did notice:

Fabulous Kitchen Remodel Walkthrough

If your kitchen, closet, linen closet, or laundry room make you grumpy or cause lots of sighs, then how can you be a superstar?  Having a space in your home work for you instead of against you is like finally finding the right car, a wonderful work team, a marvelous masseuse or smashing shoes that don’t hurt.  It makes your life so much easier & you feel empowered.  It’s like walking on air.

 

Last year, I came up with a new design for my mom’s kitchen. She had been waiting since my parents purchased the house 40 years ago to redo it.  Now, we finally had a design(see bulleted list below)

Start World Peace – Don’t Organize

 

Have you ever approached that wasteland you call a pantry, determined to organize those crammed in cans and packages, and ended up eating a whole bag of chips and the cookies you hid from the kids? Organizing areas that have become chaos may be as unnatural for you as speaking a language you have never studied.

 

 A wise person, Kyla Martin of Kyla Martin Coaching & Consulting asked me a year ago to identify my Zone of Genius.  Honestly, I didn’t know to what she was referring.  I acted in the know, outwardly pondering which of my many Zones of Genius might be my most dominant.  Then, I did what any unsure person would do.  I asked her what she thought my ...
