A fun winter challenge that could also brighten your mood.
If chilly weather is keeping you indoors long enough for your rooms to start looking drab, give yourself a $10 challenge—and a gratifying reason to get out of the house. Then head to your favourite superstore, discount store or vintage shop in search of a new home accessory.
There are lots of ways to add brightness, texture and visual interest to your home, and using a little creativity can make the challenge more fun. For example, instead of decorating with fresh flowers (a great but temporary option), try filling a vase with pinwheels or a serving bowl with colourful faux fruit, old croquet balls or even multiples of some brightly packaged sale item.
You could also add appeal not only with a visual boost but also with a new scent that recalls warm weather, like a Glade® Jar Candle in Hawaiian Breeze®.
Even if your new find makes only a subtle change, the challenge alone is a fun, inexpensive way to add a little excitement to a blah winter day.
