337 // 5 Simple decorating routines to ditch the overwhelm so you can finally start loving your home

Hey friend!

Sometimes we are in different seasons of decorating. Sometimes we're in an active sprint - actively painting, re-tiling or choosing large pieces of furniture before a specific deadline. Other times we're at a much slower pace - absorbing information and gathering inspiration, while simultaneously making a plan.

But then there's the third place you could be in and if truth be told, this one is the one that stops most people from ever taking a step forward...and that's a place of stuckness.

There are many reasons why you might be stuck. Sometimes it's being so overwhelmed by choices that you fear making a poor one. Other times there's a feeling of frustration at not knowing where to start. No matter the reason - if I just described you, this episode is for you.

5 simple routines to follow when you're constantly stuck in the place of not knowing where to start or feeling like there's too much to do:

1. The 10 minute edit: 

Allowing yourself to see your home in a new perspective with less visual clutter can be a helpful starting place that allows you to see the potential.

2. Snapshots of problem areas:

This may sound counter intuitive, but take a picture of an area in your home that you can't stand. Look at it through the lens for a fresh perspective and journal about what you see and why it's problematic.

3. The ONE thing rule:

Focusing on one aligned step is much better than five rushed ones.

4. Learn your style:

Always a top priority and the foundation for creating a home you love. Use Pinterest, Google or good old fashioned magazines to start recognizing common elements that you are attracted to.

5. Make a plan:

Set your home goals then work backward, crafting small steps that will help you achieve those goals.
