Improve Your Home's Environment
These suggestions will make you feel better in your home. It is your castle and should be the very best it can be. Ironically, your castle should be a lot more comfortable than a real castle.
Take a couple of weekends and pick from the list of chores that can make your home healthier and more pleasant.
Streamline and de-clutter
Install "daylight" type light bulbs
Give away unused "stuff"
Clean the rubber gasket at the door of front loading clothes washers
Replace appliance filters
Run a dehumidifier in damp areas
Ventilate bathrooms, kitchens, attics and basements
Identify and remove things with bad odors
As a final suggestion, walk through and look at what is inside of your home. We are talking about your pictures, furnishings, clothes or even paint colors. If what you see conjures up bad memories or feelings: get rid of it ! If you notice something that is hidden away that makes you feel good, get it out where you can see it. Now! That can be a wonderful New Years gift to yourself.
