Simple Spruce-Ups

Happy Morning Pretties!

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable weekend.  A day or two of rest is sometimes just what our minds and bodies are craving.  All we need is some relaxing time with friends, a quality conversation with a loved one, or maybe just a lazy afternoon on the porch swing listening to the storm roll in (me yesterday). After a peaceful Sunday, I woke up early to the sun shining this morning, ready to take on the week! Who's with me?

With two cups of coffee already down the hatch, I've caught the "Spruce up bug."  I'm looking for ways to improve little spaces around the crib (while trying to make the most of the space we share). Clutter gets me down and I truly believe that "Less is Almost Always More".

Today's post is about spiffing up the simplicities in your home and taking pride in your space. It is a true gift to be able to make the most of what you have, and when you throw in a dash of design and organization, an everyday area can bring you a sense of joy.  Here are a few ways to style up and smarten up your space.

Color coordinate your closet! It's simple but will make all the difference.

Jewelry: Organize with decor

Some bare wall space in your laundry room, kitchen or office:  
These hanging folders will help organize all those bills/magazines/coupons/invitations that pile up on your counter top or kitchen table.

Linen Closet:  
Adding dividers, racks on the back of the door and rolling towels can maximize your space and help you STAY organized. Baskets are good too!

Closet Home Office:
What a brilliant way to make the most of your extra closet? I'm loving this!
The best part...you can shut the doors.

Work Desk:
Simple and organized. I love when there is a place for everything!
Check out the purse and key chain hook on the side. 

Small Patio:
Make the most of this little nook by giving it a pop of color and cushion.
The perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or maybe light some candles and share a glass of wine in the evening with your honey.

Garden Fence: 
If your yard space is limited, leaving little room for vegetation, then plant some flowers along your fence. As they grow they will cling to the fence and add some charm.


Happy Week!
Love, T
