Summary

There is no such thing as a perfect home. Even when we finally get all the projects checked off of our list, new things are constantly popping up! In my conversation with Kali, we chat about fighting for contentment in our homes no matter what they look like. Kali also shares some practical tips for making small changes in your home decor even when you don’t have the time or money for a big renovation. And we also touch finding a style you truly love even amidst the noise of decor trends. This episode was such a fun one for me, and I hope it encourages you in your homemaking!

In this episode, we cover:

Taking a break from creative work
Living in the tension between envisioning what your home could become and being patient in the process
What people don’t realize about finally getting their dream home
Are you following trends or is your taste truly changing?
Identifying the three factors that determine your personal style
Are you missing the perfect solution for your home decor?
Making the most of your home when you can’t overhaul it
Taking pride in caring for your home even when it is imperfect
How to approach decluttering and organizing when you are not naturally organized
Keeping seasonal decor practical and minimal
Changing your mindset about the repetitive tasks of homemaking
Narrowing down what decor style you truly love
Different home decor personalities
Simple ways to spruce up your home without spending much time or money
The impact of choosing contentment in your home no matter what it looks like
