Freshen Up Your Home This Winter with 3 Simple Projects

It's easy to understand why the harshness of winter can slow you down. From the inclement weather to the treacherous roads, winter's mighty bite is fierce. While we cannot predict or control the weather outside, we can make the most of what we do inside, starting with some simple home organization projects.

As a member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I have access to many great ideas that you can use to spruce up the inside of your home until you can get outside again. Here are a few ideas from divatoolbox.com to update your space without taking the time or spending the money on a major renovation project.

Get organized: A simple task that homeowners can take on in the winter while spending more time indoors is to get organized. While organizing an entire home can be a time-consuming project, picking just one area to focus on will make the job more manageable. Winter is a great time to organize your home so that you are ready to start fresh once spring arrives. Not only will you feel as if you have accomplished something on your to-do list, but your home will seem less chaotic once everything is put in its place.

A little redecorating: Another way to freshen up your home during the long winter months is to update your décor. Simply changing the decorative accents within your home can make a big difference in changing your home's look and feel. Decide how drastic a change you want to make before you begin purchasing items.

Make a plan: If you aren't ready to make the commitment to organize or update your existing space, you can still use the remaining winter months productively by planning ahead for any home improvements you are going to undertake once spring arrives. Take the time now to research any projects you are planning on starting in the spring; plan your budget and even get a head start on picking out and ordering any materials that will be needed. By doing this, you will be ready to hit the ground running once spring arrives.

There are so many ways you can be productive inside your home and stay motivated through the winter season. If you're looking for more great, yet simple, ideas, pleasee-mail me, and please forward these helpful tips to others who may be interested.

Excellent ideas, Rosemary.  Getting organized, especially getting rid of junk, is a wonderfully energizing task.  Now is also a great time to plan some garden projects.
