-I want to let the style of the house come together more organically than I have before. I'm not going to hang up pictures just because I have them. I want to hang up things that I (we, hopefully) absolutely love. If I don't have anything that I absolutely love for that spot over the couch for a year, so be it.
-Same thing with furniture. I don't want to buy some pressed board piece of furniture at Target just because we have a little empty space in the landing. I want to wait until we have the time and money to buy pieces we adore. The means we'll make due with all the Ikea components we have for now. It's all about the patience with this house. And less is more. That's my new house mantra.
-I want to watch way less tv than I currently do. I think this can be accomplished, despite my many failed attempts to cut back before. We are going to have the tv in the basement, not on the main floor. I generally don't like spending time in basements, so I hope the siren song of the tv isn't strong enough to override that aversion. Also we're not going to hook up the cable, so that should help.
-Maintain a regular cleaning routine. Maybe not Flylady level, but something better than what I've been doing for the past two years (invite people over, clean my butt off before they arrive).
-Still haven't forgotten about Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I want to stop buying most of the processed food we usually consume and make them ourselves instead. Bread, snacks, cereal, pizza crust, etc. I know it won't happen all at once, but I really want to move in that direction. I also want to shop for our produce at farmers' markets this year, and next spring start our own garden. We've got plenty of yard for a proper garden. Can't wait.
