Fresh start in your home this new year


Happy New Year!


Thank you to everyone who has been following along with us this past year. To the clients who have supported my business and everyone who has helped along the way. This has been a year of changes and challenges, but also a year that was fun and exciting and full of new adventures! The year to come already has some exciting things underway and we look forward to bringing you all along with us!


There’s a lot you can do from small updates to a big project. Starting smaller with a fresh coat of paint, update your colors, paint your ceilings. I’ve also curated a list of things in your home that can hep you start fresh.


Here’s a list for getting your home ready for the year:


-Cutting down on your energy use. Turning off lights when you leave a room. Turning off the water when you’re brushing your teeth. Insulate your duct work to increase energy use. Reducing your carbon foot print. Switching to energy efficient bulbs is a big one! I have switched over to LED and this helps your energy use as well. There are many options for LED. Time to replace the Edison bulbs that are not energy efficient and the orange light is not in anymore.

-Improve indoor air quality. This means maintaining your HVAC system, change your furnace filter. 1 month ones are the best but, 3-6 month ones are ok as well. 

-Durable materials. Look for more durable decor and items in your home that can last longer. This is also an opportunity to add indoor plants, which helps oxygen and air quality inside in the winter months! If you don’t have a green thumb like me, I have a blog and instagram post on this topic.

-Prepping or Emergencies. Aside from smoke alarms and carbon monoxide, check your emergency routes and exits. A little grab-bag of emergency items is also so important to grab and go in a hurry! Check your alarm batteries, especially if they’re beeping! Change those out asap. 

-Creating a home cleaning routine. Sometimes making a list and sticking to this can help your home to stay cleaner. Devise daily, weekly, and monthly routines so you’re prepared. Keep cleaning supplies in the rooms they are used in. 

-Making a note on how-to clean your surfaces. Furniture, floors, surfaces and decor. Walk through and make a list of the items you’re unsure of how they are supposed to be cleaned. Google is a great resource for your wood, granite, marble and upholstery.

-Declutter! New Years is a great time to “spring clean.” It all doesn’t have to be done at once, but start small. Your pantry has old items, your junk drawer needs to be organized, your freezer probably has some old expired food, so this is a great small place to start. I love to organize those spaces. It helps to get your home ready for a fresh new year!

-Lastly, Give your new items a proper home. After the holidays, new gifts need a place to live haha! Unpack, organize and rearrange!


Good Luck and Prosperity to you all in 2024! Keep following along and we will continue to help you and your home all year long!

Colors of the Year 2025

By Zachary Wheeler • January 21, 2025
Mocha, Cinnamon, Ruby, Green and more! The main company I use in my business for paint is, Benjamin Moore. I have used them for years and love all their colors, stains, and products. From the whitest white to blackest black, they carry over 3000 colors for all your color needs! Beyond Benjamin Moore, we will touch on other company’s colors of the year. I love POPS of colors in design. Grays and Blues are still my go-to standards, but adding in a pop of color can make your space fun! Benjamin Moore Color of the Year is: Cinnamon Slate They describe this as a mix of heather plum and velvety brown. It is a lovely purple-y hue that would look great in a kitchen, foyer, or primary bedroom. Along with the Color of the Year, they also coordinate a color palette with that. These are colors that will complement each other and can be used together in rooms, like accents, doors, trim, etc. When I accent color, I do not mean an accent wall, just to clarify. These colors include: Rosepine-green/sage, Paris Rain-mint/light green, Sea Salt-neutral grey/white, Glacier White-white hue, Stained Glass-Teal/green, Leather Saddle Brown-burgundy/brown, Chowning’s Tan-Tan/camel, Tissue Pink-Blush pink, & Ashwood Moss-mossy green. Moving on to the other Colors of the Year. Here are my other favorites. Pantone- Mocha Moose A warm rich brown that would be perfect for a big open family room, or in a walk-in closet. HGTV Home for Sherwin Williams- Quietude A neutral green with gray and blue undertones. This would look great on kitchen cabinets or a comfortable sunroom! Behr- Rumors This is a deep ruby red with a bold warmth and would look wonderful in a moody library, home office, or a dining room. If you are looking to update paint in any of your spaces, all these colors would look great. Again, I work with Benjamin Moore, and they have plenty to choose from. I do color consultations often and work those colors into a full design. Get your 2025 started off right, and let’s get to work!
