It’s easy to get cabin fever this time of year. We’re all going through it. But working on home projects is a great way to keep yourself active, add value to your home, and beautify or improve your living space. It’s a win-win!

 

One top priority in these winter months is getting the house in order for those Spring and Summer visitors. Winter is a great time to work on getting organized (which is why January is “Get Organized Month”). So, devote time every week to decluttering in general and organizing what you decide to keep.  And you’ll be in line with the majority of the country.

 

In a recent Maytag survey, sixty-two percent said they plan to declutter, and clean long-forgotten nooks and crannies of their home. With more time spent inside, it makes absolute sense for people notice their cluttered closets and cabinets.  After all, once Spring gets here, you’re not going to want to spend your time sifting through those piles of junk in your basement. You’ll want to be outside, enjoying the fresh air.

 

Tip: Don’t try to tackle the entire house at once. Do this and you’ll find yourself with a broken spirit, huddled on the couch looking for the remote. Start small, and go slow. Focus on one shelf, or one corner, and work until you’ve got that space looking exactly how you want. This way you’ll be able to see the progress you’re making.
