Get Your Home Ready for the Holidays

With the holiday season fast approaching, here are a few tips to help get your home holiday- and guest-ready. Whether you prefer working solo or want to get the family involved, put on some music or your favorite podcast, and let’s tackle some holiday prep.

Declutter and Make Space

Clearing out unused items will not only create a more organized space, but it will also free up room for holiday decor—and undoubtedly for the gifts you’ll receive. Go room by room to identify items you haven’t used in the past year. Decide what you want to keep, sell, or, in the spirit of the season, donate to a local shelter, non-profit, community center, or thrift store.

• Pantry and Cupboards: Take stock of what you have, and consider donating unused non-perishables to a local food pantry.
• Refrigerator and Freezer: Clean these out to make space for holiday meal prep, storage and leftovers.
• Coat Closet: Now is the perfect time to donate what no longer fits or go unworn - making room for guests' outerwear.
• Kids’ Rooms and Playrooms: Involve the kids in finding gently used toys to donate.
