simple shui | house love
along the crisp edge of a new month, you’ll find me strutting my shui around here – giving our home that suit + tie feel. with a vigorous dose of elbow grease and intention, it’s my insurance we are in good hands for the weeks ahead. and, with spring awakening, there are a few pockets of space that could use some TLC. care to follow?
{1} CLEAN THE OVEN.
so not glamorous, right? but this appliance is a total drama queen when neglected. the stove and oven represent our wealth + well-being + prosperity – and who wants to entertain any melodramatics there? with temps outside still brrr-worthy, make this a priority. set the self-cleaner, let your oven works its own magic, and then finish it with a quick wipe-down and polish. once it’s done {phew}, prepare to hit a new flow!
{2} BUY FRESH FLORA.
spring sashays through the city, scattering color everywhere. if you’re a steady around simple shui, you know having something living in your house is mighty good shui. and anything vivacious positively captivates good energy. i go for african violets because they have this thing for cha-ching. the purple flowers and coin shaped leaves are both symbols of wealth – and who doesn’t want those kind of buddies?
{3} EDIT A CLOSET.
waiting for that perfect mood to meet its perfect day so you can *once-and-for-all* purge the closet? consider this that moment. with winter wearing out its welcome, now is the best time to look honestly at your wardrobe and ask, “what did i not wear this season?”
edit out enough things that your closet has breathing room, and keep it on this diet. and when the temptation to splurge gets a hold of you, resist that impulse and buy matching hangers instead. necessity deserves to be beautiful, too.
{4} MULCH PLANTER BEDS.
when it comes to home projects, we tend to over-complicate our visions. yet, small improvements reap the most satisfaction. and mulching beds is a beautiful way to inexpensively manicure space. when our curb appeal exclaims why, hello!, opportunities somersault down our path.
{5} WASH THE COVER UPS.
oh, those shower curtains + window panels + bed skirts! don’t you sometimes pretend they are fine without regular spins in the wash — or is that just me? when energy screams for a serious spruce, this is a relatively easy way to dial up reinforcements. and few scents rival that freshly laundered smell that spirits the air.
with winter kowtowing to spring, the air is wildly electric for a dalliance. get spring fling sparks flying in your radius with any of these simple suggestions! and maybe we’ll try this monthly checklist again in april, yes?
