Create a Living Room You Love – No Perfection Needed
Gene wanted to have a dinner party. 🍽️ But she looked around her living room and thought twice…
Stacks of magazines were on the couch, while mail crowded every inch of the coffee table. Workout gear and baskets of laundry crowded the middle of the room, and she couldn’t remember the last time she was able to run the vacuum in there.
How could she possibly have people over when the house looked like this?
I get it. We want to have people over when things feel perfectly organized and beautiful. And it feels impossible to have people over when it’s anything less.
This whole “waiting until things are perfect” thing is a common block when it comes to actually enjoying our homes. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to wait for everything to be just right to start living your best life at home.
In fact, sometimes starting to live your life to the fullest actually HELPS you get organized.
Why not create a space that feels great to you right now, even if the whole of the house isn’t picture-perfect? You don’t have to tackle everything at once. You can start by reclaiming one small space today.
Here’s a quick video about how to reclaim your living room and start to infuse your home with a little fun:
No time to watch the video? No worries. Here are 3 quick steps for reclaiming some space for yourself:
Pick Your Happy Place
Think about where in your home you’d love to spend more time. It could be a cozy chair for reading, a corner by the window for daydreaming, or even a spot on the patio to soak up some fresh air. Clear away any clutter that’s making it hard to enjoy that space. (And yes, it’s totally okay to move things to another room temporarily!)
Add a Touch of Joy
What could make this spot even more inviting? Maybe it’s a soft blanket, a small table for your tea or coffee, or some beautiful flowers. You could even hang a piece of art that makes you smile. These little touches can transform your space into a personal oasis.
Embrace the Now
Your home doesn’t have to be perfectly organized for you to start enjoying it. By focusing on creating just one space that brings you joy, you’re giving yourself permission to live in the present, rather than waiting for some future “perfect” moment.
Remember, it’s the small changes that often make the biggest difference. You deserve to have spaces in your home that support you in feeling relaxed, inspired, and joyful—right now, not later.
Your home should be a place that makes you happy, just as it is. 💛

So grateful for you…just as you are!
