Day 5.

I am EXHAUSTED and it’s 1:02am, so I’m going to round out our top 50 here in Day 5. 50 down, 50 to go…

46. Invest in a nice stainless steel trash can.  I know.  The last thing you want to drop dough on is a  $100 trash can.  But trust me, it’s worth it! This is the one we have , well actually we have two (one for recycling) and I love it.

47.  If there is an item you use every day…like a power plug in your living room for your computer or a kettle to make tea in the kitchen…rather than constantly taking them out and putting them away, find a way to incorporate them into your room!  I have the two aforementioned issues, so I brought a bright red kettle and I leave it out on the stove and use it as a kitchen accent piece.  We purchased a power squid, which stays neatly tucked right under our couch, always ready to be used to plug in our laptops!

48. A nicely framed piece of art ALWAYS looks great over a fireplace.

49. Install blackout curtains in your bedroom. You won’t regret it.

50. Keep out-of-season decor in boxes in the garage, but put non-seasonal decor that you don’t have out right now in a more easily accessible place.  I have a cabinet in the Man Cave devoted to my decorating needs: candles, vases, baskets, apothecary jars, etc.
