Have you ever dreamed of creating a space just for YOU? This is your episode! Today Kathi Lipp is joined by fellow book lover Amy Betters-Midtvedt. On the daily, Amy uses humor to share her expertise in all things home and parenting but today, they talk about decluttering to create a sacred space. For Amy, it’s for her beloved books. Listen in as Kathi and Amy discuss:
- Managing the push and pull of deciding what stays and what goes
- The benefit of having a reward at the end of your project
- Knowing when to call a trusted professional
In this episode, Kathi and Amy discuss creating a space does not have to be creating a whole room.
It could be a shelf or a wall.
Question:
Look around your home. Is there a nook that could be repurposed?
