HOME & COTTAGE
HELLO AND WELCOME
H ello and welcome to the fall/ winter edition. Our lifestyle editors have been busy putting together unique fall features in their respective departments. In the Home and Cottage section you’ll find timely and informative information on local businesses, DIY ideas for gift giving, entertaining advice and our home design feature. This has been a fall like no other to say the least. Like everyone else, our household has been busy with outside and inside clean up following hurricane Fiona. While our home was fortunate not to sustain any major damages we still had to put in hours and hours of work to get everything back to normal.
also gives you more free time and less cleaning time. Keeping a to do list has been extremely helpful for keeping me on track. My goal is to try and tackle one project a day, be it large or small. Some of the projects I’ve completed so far include; giving my spice drawer a makeover, installing wallpaper in the front entry, washing baseboards, organizing paperwork and office files, selling unused furniture, steam cleaning carpets, and unloading clothes I never wear. Even doing the smallest of jobs has given me a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. I’m now thinking that fall cleaning is every bit as important as spring cleaning. The one job that I don’t have to think about any longer is our kitchen makeover project. After months of being in the works it is finally done and dusted, and I couldn’t be any happier with the results. So, for this issue I am sharing my newly finished space with you, our readers. I hope you like it and I hope you feel inspired to take on projects that improve your home and sense of well-being. From my home to yours wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2023 New Year.

This fall I also had friends who sold their large home in favour of
downsizing. After helping them with household tasks involved in moving and downsizing and following our own post storm clean-up, I learned a valuable lesson. I need to make time to declutter, clean up neglected areas of our home, tackle a list of household improvement projects and work toward being better organized. Lately I’ve been reading articles on the benefits of cleaning and decluttering. They include less stress, better physical and mental health, better sleep and living in an organized environment
