I don’t know about you, but, for me, it is essential for my home to be organized. If I live amongst clutter, my mind is cluttered, too. I cannot see clearly unless my home is clear of the little messes.
In January, I started a little renovation project (yes, I was full blown nesting!) and rethought our home, one room at a time. I asked myself the important questions: Do we need to keep all of these things we own? Do they make me happy? If not, why am I holding on to them?
Luckily, my mom was staying with us for the month (in anticipation of Noah’s birth), and she is the queen of spring cleaning. She loves to get rid of the old to make room for the new… and I love that! I got on her page and quickly realized how amazing it felt to get rid of items I had no sentimental attachment to, or that didn’t really fulfill me in any way. Clothing, furniture, little knick knacks… We got rid of basically half the house. And what a relief it was!
When we moved into our house, in 2015, I was very pregnant with Liam and we left a lot of things as they were. We picked the house in part because there was no (or very little) work needed before move in. The issue is that these little things, like a very outdated bathroom with ugly wallpaper and light fixtures straight out of the 50s, never got updated. We simply never had the time.
I’m thrilled to announce that my nesting-inspired renovation project is now complete – it is kid-friendly, yet still reflects my personal style. It is practical, yet still aesthetically pleasing. Mom win!
I took advantage of this beautiful (yet frustrating!) snow day to put together a short video for you guys. In it, you will get a glimpse of the many pieces and accents we got for our home in the last few weeks. I hope you like them!
