[:en]Sprucing Up While Hunkering Down[:]

[:en]As we practice social
distancing and spend more time in our homes, we are on your side to
help you make it a more beautiful place to be.

We are all in this together.
We hope these tips help you find serenity in your own
space.

Take advantage of having more time on your
hands.

Getting started with a new
cleaning project can be intimidating: where do you even
start?

Start with a wish list of all the
things at home you want to upgrade.

Good Housekeeping has
an expert-approved checklist for spotless spaces

(washing interior windows is a great
one to have the kids help with!).

Sprinkle in bright colors.

Spring is a time of renewed hope.
While those dark colors felt right in the winter, swap them for
bold pastels or neons. Flores Mantilla,
Boston magazines Best Florist of 2019,
is
offering contact-free deliveries within a 50 mile radius of
Boston
. Foraged
Floral of Cape Cod
is also following no
contact delivery procedures
to keep the community as safe as
possible.

Refresh the entry of your mudroom.

During winter, you’re likely to
track snow, road salt and mud into your entry or mudroom. In the
spring, make sure to thoroughly clean your walls, floors and doors
to avoid any long-term damage.
Canada-based interior design
company Organized Interiors has nine
ideas for keeping your mudroom clean and
tidy
.

Revive your candle collection.

A lit-up candle radiates soft and
positive energy into your home. While lighting a candle is a great
way to conclude a deep cleaning session, theres a good chance that
your collection could use a little freshening up, too. Reach for
floral or citrus candles to liven up any room in your house. Yankee
Candle stores are temporarily closed,
but you can still shop with them
online
.

Don’t forget your before and after
pictures

Nothing like a good
before-and-after comparison to help you achieve results. Snapping a
few clutter-filled shots will make it all the more satisfying once
your work is complete.

One of professional organizer Elise Gunrocks biggest tips is to
document your transformations
: “There is nothing more rewarding and
encouraging than literally seeing your progress.” Even better: Text
the before shot to a friend or family member for added
accountability.
