happy (decorating) new year!

Welcome to 2013! Did you make New Year's resolutions this year? Think you'll stick to them? My resolutions tend to center around the many decorating or DIY projects I've been dying to do but inevitably keep postponing (as I learned long ago that drinking less wine, swearing less and working out more aren't viable resolutions to keep).

Want to resolve to improve your interior spaces in 2013? Here are five resolutions to help move you into a more stylish new year:

1. Create a home-organizing area or a creative space for sketches or poetic messages by decorating with chalkboard paint.

2. Take a wall from bland and boring to interesting and inspired by using paint to get the look of wallpaper.

3. Enliven your entry way or overlooked powder bathroom with some playful or eye-grabbing wallpaper. Take a look at these fabulous wallpaper sources for some ideas. Or, take a look at these stores that carry a wide selection of different wallpaper brands.

4. Ignite your creativity by taking on an easy and fun DIY paint project.

5. Bring drab floors back to life with a bold painted floor.
