I spent January, and part of February, Hushing my House and decluttering. Maybe you did too?

 

If so, you were probably faced with the same dilemma I was: I want simplicity but I also want beautiful things!!!

 

One way I've learned to cheat the system and get both–especially when it comes to styling my surfaces–is to focus on DUAL USE ACCESSORIES. 

 

When you're styling your surfaces, you want pretty things of course, but if they also have a part time or full time job, that makes them more purposeful and valuable. No more lazy accessories, they MUST earn their keep by working and looking great.

 

 

I created a new resource for you. It's a guide all about my top 6 accessories that look great, are dual use and won't clutter up your home (when used responsibly!). 

 

When I create something like this (this one is a pretty, downloadable PDF that you can read in a couple minutes), I always offer first to you here because you're an email subscriber. Thanks for subscribing!

 

This guide started as a teaching in the Cozy Minimalist Community, so if you're a member, you are welcome to download it, but it's also already in your member library where I I narrate it for you and go a little more in depth; find it when you login here.

 

And of course, you can always shop your house, or my FAVORITE way to collect dual use accessories is second hand. You can find really cool one of a kind items at thrift stores and yard sales if you aren't in a hurry or looking for specific items.
