 Do you DELIGHT in your home? 

Delight means to take 'great pleasure in' or be 'pleased greatly by' something. At fig & farm (at home) our goal is NOT perfection in our homes. Our goal is delight: to create homes that reflect your family's story while while being a joyful space for you to spend time with the people you love most. 

In today's episode, we're taking a break from the tips for home decorating and focusing our attention on creating intentionality inside your homes so you can delight in your home this holiday season. 

5 tips for delighting in your home this holiday season: 

1. Identify the barriers standing in your way of delight

2. Remediate or remove those barriers

3. Surround yourself with the things you love

4. Make space for the people you love most

5. Practice gratitude for things both BIG and small

 Can your design style be too specific?

In today's podcast I'm answering one listener's question who is asking if her desire to have a Coastal Cowgirl home would be too specific. She wants to know how to keep thematic decorating like that on the sophisticated, rather than cheesy side. 

How do you learn your design style? By being specific and then more specific and even more specific. You can learn how to identify your style inside Home Design 101.

 Ready to re-finish furniture, but you don't know where to start?

How do you know if you should paint it or stain it?

What do you do with water stains or deep scratches?

How do you sand it?

What paint do you use?

These are some of the questions you may be asking yourself and these same questions may be keeping you stuck so you end up NOT re-finishing the piece that you want to.

 "How do I make my bedroom look cute?" 

This question came in from one listener who is desiring to make her bedroom look and feel a bit more like a retreat after the end of a long day. Using these 5 tips inside your bedroom (even inside the rest of your home) can help you elevate the look of your home. 

1. Create a color palette using three colors: one foundational color and two accent colors

2. Add layers and texture. Doing so creates depth and nuance inside your room. Nuance elevates the overall look making the design go from flat to a little more complex.  

3. Repetition is key to great design...even in the bedroom. Repeating colors from the color palette throughout your room in items like textiles, curtains, decor accessories, and artwork will help unify the space making it feel cohesive.

4. Break up the match-matchy pieces: bedding sets, bedroom furniture. This is your permission to remove a couple pieces and replace them with contrasting pieces that add a little more personality. Doing this will elevate the look of your room instantly.

5. Styling the bedding: plump those pillows. Get them out from under the cover and let them have a moment near the headboard. Don't worry about adding fifteen - that's overkill. But can you have five? Yup. And those five will look stunning if you're following the other suggestions!

Five quick tips for styling your bedroom in a way that looks and feels like a. cozy, calming retreat at the end of the day. Want help styling your bedroom? Inside Home Design 101 you gain the tools and knowledge for how to create a home that you can't stop gushing about! With bi-weekly coaching to give you guidance and support, this is a no-brainer!

 Are you ready to host for the holidays? 

Is the idea of hosting for the holidays stressful? If you answered yes, ask yourself "WHY?" Sometimes it's the personalities of the people we're hosting. Sometimes we don't know how to encourage conversation and it's just so awkward. 

BUT SOMETIMES...we are just so insecure with how our home looks, feels and functions that we don't feel confident to welcome others in. 

In today's episode, I'm sharing how you can identify which barrier may be keeping you from hosting others and what to do about it! 

Learn to love your home in a way that you can't stop gushing about it inside Home Design 101, a self-paced course that teaches you how to decorate your home from the color palette to the color of metals. There's bi-weekly support so you can get your questions answered in real time!

 Don't have TIME to decorate your home? 

In this episode we determine if we lack time or we lack motivation? Sometimes our desire to make change is greater than our motivation to actually decorate and we confuse ourselves into thinking we have no time, when the reality is that we lack the motivation. 

In an effort to find time when we think we have none, I teach you how to do a time audit so you can see the holes in your day when productivity can start. Then I give you five creative ideas for creating more time and/or motivating you into action. 

1. Have a one week no screen time rule and see ALL the time that magically appears

2. Swapping with a friend (childcare, meal prep, or man power)

3. Have a Power Hour (at the beginning or end of your day) where you are waking early or going to bed late so you can have uninterrupted time in your day to get your work done.

4. Give yourself a carrot (an external motivator) for reaching your goal

5. Accountability (small group is best, you'll hear why and you'll also learn a suggestion for making it more fun for everyone)

You CAN create more time if you want it, but the question that needs to be asked and the answer revealed in truth...how motivated are you to create that time to make change happen? 

As always,

xo,

dani

 Ready to DECLUTTER but you don't know where to start? 

Have you tried decluttering but haven't felt very successful? Do you wonder if you should empty out an entire room or start small and go item by item? 

In this episode we're talking about different strategies for decluttering. I give three examples of decluttering in a BIG way...like you want the stuff gone and you want it gone NOW kind of way. 

1. KonMari Method

2. Swedish Death Cleaning

3. Clean Sweep

I also share five ways you can declutter with a more gentle approach. These strategies are great if you are gradually building up momentum or in a phase of maintaining a big purge recently completed. 

1. Round Robin Method

2. 12 - 12 - 12

3. 5 Item Rule

4. Domino Method

5. 30 Day Minimalism Game or 30 Day Declutter Challenge

Try one, try them all, but no matter which method you choose get accountability. Tell a buddy what your goals are, what your vision for you home is and ask them to check in with you. Need us to do it? We're BEYOND HAPPY to do that. Join the Facebook Community and post your goals, your method, even your clutter trigger (listen to Ep. 198 to know what that is) there and we'll check in with your progress!! https://bit.ly/design101group

Do you LOVE your home? 

OR

 Do you WANT to love your home? 

As a home owner, you are in a unique position as the author of the story you want your home to tell. You're also the artist behind the canvas of your created home. Basically...you're in charge in a BIG way! But if you don't love your home, you could be feeling a bit stuck! Afterall, you have literally made every decision about the items inside your home - even the ones that you may not think you have. 

For example:

~ You moved in to a home with gray walls. You didn't choose that color, but you chose to KEEP that color. 

~ You inherited that ugly sofa from your mom. You didn't choose that sofa, but you chose not to say NO and now you're choosing to KEEP it. 

Whether you love your home or not, is a CHOICE. Knowing WHAT to do about is entirely different. That's what we're talking about in today's episode. The first step in loving your home: recognizing that your home isn't happening TO YOU but you are the one in charge!

Types of clutter: 

1. Over abundance 

2. Useful

3. Aspirational

4. Homeless

5. Sentimental

6. Price-tag dependent
