More than fitting in with a certain style, this resolution focuses on elements you want to live with, whether it is lace curtains, colorful walls, or Chinese porcelain. Wait for what you want and aim to buy quality. A blank wall might be better than a hastily chosen piece of furniture that will cause buyer's remorse when you later find what you really wanted. Build your interiors over the years with well chosen pieces that will hold up over time. Buy with an eye for scale, quality, and function.
Proper organization is as much about editing as it is about space.
Clean out a closet , rearrange your kitchen cupboards , find the floor of your garage. From fine antiques to treasures from the Goodwill store, there are plenty of bargains in old furniture. Get creative by painting or staining a number of misfit pieces the same color. Cherish these treasures, and let your creativity blossom as you refinish, repaint, embellish, or simply enjoy them as they are. More about that in the weeks ahead, but until then, resolve to make this year more beautiful, more organized, and more in tune with your style.
