Resolutions for your Home

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Most of us go with personal decisions like losing weight or exercising more (both GOOD things, by the way). But have you considered making 2014 resolutions for your home, too?

Maybe it’s time to finally get the whole house organized, or to turn that unused basement space into a playroom. Or, perhaps your home is looking a little dated and you just want to spruce it up in small ways, room by room.

If you like the idea of resolutions for home improvement, you can find lots of inspiration and how-tos on the web. Some of our favorite sites are Martha Stewart, HGTV and Better Homes & Gardens. Be warned, you can lose hours surfing!

1. Learn how to get the perfectly organized laundry room at MarthaStewart.

2. Pick the ideal shade for any room using the color psychology guide at HGTV.
