One of my goals this year is to be ready for the unexpected drop-in. As it stands, I need a 10 minute warning -at minimum- before there will be a place to entertain in the tiny cottage. This, I am working on. Organizing guru Peter Walsh says your home is the airport of your life. Despite all efforts, we still have some clutter on the runway here, Peter.
I play Tetris with the furniture and try to channel Nancy Myers or Nora Ephron as I decorate. {Samples of their sets from Silver Screen Surroundings are linked to their names above.} I’m noticing that the common denominators in their films are built-ins, light colors and expensive upholstery.
Hooked on Houses is a great place to sip tea and get ideas. Endless fun. Loved this one of Bewitched.
Speaking of decor, Ryan {of Bravo TV’s Flipping Out fame} has a great blog about design here. He has a 3-year-old and gave a few nice tips on fighting clutter in this L.A. Daily News article here.
What’s your favorite decorating tip? What do you want to change about your nest this year?
