Quick, easy ideas to organize, update and upgrade your home this season

streamline the KITCHEN
Paring down to just the essentials can create an ultrafunctional cooking space.
1 LET WINDOWS GO BARE. Say bye-bye to an over-the-sink valance or café curtain. Walls will feel higher, more natural light will filter in and there will be one less thing to collect dust!
2 PURGE RARELY USED APPLIANCES. If it’s taking up space and it doesn’t bring you joy, make like pro organizer Marie Kondo (see page 46) and take this opportunity to clear the clutter.
