How to Make Your Home a Clutter-free Haven

Care for the Home· CHRISTIAN HOME

A welcoming home is part of our daily ministry to our family. And it feels most peaceful when it’s a cared-for and clutter-free zone.

But when it’s in need of some loving decorative attention, some folks struggle with the idea of spending money. However, it doesn’t have to be expensive or extravagant to get your home in order. If you’re too embarrassed to ask guests into your home or you’re stressed out by the state it’s in, it may be time to look for help.

Whatever your home needs to be a welcoming haven, I have good news for you! I know just the person to help you! So whether you are on a tight budget, either by choice or circumstance, or up-to-your-ears in stuff, I want to introduce you to my friend Jayne Westerholt. She understands our dilemmas AND has lots of practical solutions, ideas and tips!

Over the years I’ve learned that you don’t need to spend a fortune to create a beautiful home.  A little creativity and elbow grease will go a long way toward helping you transform your space into a unique and stylish home, brimming with personality.

Jayne Westerholt

Turning Your Home Into a Haven

On the Chalking Up Success! website you will find lots of ideas for upcycling furniture, and creating decorative elements for your home. All with clear easy to follow instructions and beautiful photography. Check out her furniture ideas at Chalking Up Success!

But Jayne goes one step further than just providing cost-effective furniture solutions. She also tackles the ticklish subject of what to do with ‘our stuff’. One of the greatest challenges to curating the contents of our homes is learning what to do with SENTIMENTAL ITEMS, and Jayne provides three solutions to help.

Clear the Clutter – Create Your Haven

Maybe inheriting items hasn’t been a problem for you but accumulating stuff has been! It’s all the other things that gather on tables and sideboards, in cupboards, and on floors. Again Jayne comes up with REAL solutions to the problem in her post How To Achieve a Clutter-free Home (and it’s not just another system of boxes labelled for other destinations ie bin/sell/give!)

A clutter-free home is a healthy home. Clutter causes stress and wastes our time and energy, two of our most precious commodities.

    Thank you so much for featuring me this week Helen! I hope your readers find my posts and free email course useful. It’s important to remember, that two of the most important issues with decluttering are (a) getting rid of the guilt and (b) knowing where to start. We can all do this, one step at a time!
