January is the month for fresh starts. In our overwhelming lives, any fresh start should include removing the confustion that has a habit of taking over our homes—and lives.

Take this opportunity to get organized. Storage solutions from your local Dye Home Improvement are just a trip away. Reduce the clutter by organizing what you truly want. And who knows, you just might be able to make some cash by letting go of the things you no longer need. This quick rule can be applied to all the spaces that need a change. Take that crawl space for example, there may not be a need for the older items you have stored there as well.

#5 Quickly Refresh the Kitchen or Bathroom

Oh No! We’ve said an unspeakable word! RENOVATE! It might not seem like a simple solution for the new year, but infact, it can be quick and effortless. Narrow the job to something simple.
