How To Finish Decorating Your Home In Time For The Holidays

You've discovered there are only days till your favorite holidays. But your days are already crammed with family activities, work and countless other items. What's a go-getter like you to do?

So many of my past, present and future clients are in the same predicament. We want so much to enjoy the holidays (for once!) and yet the clock is ticking, and the list keeps expanding.
 
While I can't whip out a magic wand and solve every problem on your list, there are some ways I help my clients manage their decorating to-do lists to keep them on track with home decorating challenges:
 

• Make a list!

Take one room at a time and list every item that needs to be replaced, repaired or discarded. For instance, do you need a new sofa or will a new rug give you that new look you want so badly?

• Prioritize your list

If you love Excel like I do, you can quickly move your decorating list around and even add price points, add a column for dimensions or add a list of people to call (like me) and their phone numbers.

• Commit to a date to find and purchase the most important item on your list

Remember where there is commitment, there'll be progress!

 

Schedule a date with a friend, your significant other or an interior designer

so you can tackle your list before it's too late.

 

What's at the top of your list this week?
