Post-Christmas, post-tree, what next?
Have you taken your tree down yet? Are you a straight-away let’s move on kind of person, or a let’s keep it up one more day sort of person?
Either way, have you noticed that without a tree your room looks weird, empty and somewhat unbalanced. For 345 days a year my home didn’t need a huge tree to feel complete. And yet here I am, and for at least 10 days post tree, there is most definitely a void and I’m struggling to remember which way the armchair even faced before December.
It’s a strange time of year, and if you’re anything like me it could go one of two ways, at speed in a whirl of motivation and expectation or trudge along with a seemly endless run of bad weather and disappointment.
So here’s my plan and join me if you’d like. I’m going to use this strange time and strange feeling room to take stock. What’s great and what’s not? What do I need, and what could I lose?
What did that tree give me, and how can I create that feeling again. Warmth, comfort, cheer, hope, excitement, nostalgia. A wall of paintings perhaps, or photographs, lots of houseplants, a lamp, a bunch of flowers, a mural, a feature wall in jewel tones, or bright yellow up-cycled bookcase? Need some DIY support?- read our guide.
If your home is on your mind, you’re not alone, and if you need paint for a project, piece of furniture, feature wall, room, or whole house, you can pick up that paint for an incredibly low price and transform your space without breaking the bank.
What’s more, by buying from a Community Repaint scheme you’re saving the paint from unnecessary incineration. Over 50 million litres of paint go to waste each year – in sheds, at the end of jobs, as mis-tints or damaged tins or just to clear stock, and all this surplus paint has the power to transform a space.
So join me, combat waste, save money, paint a thing and keep the spirit of that tree.
