STYLE AT HOME staff resolutions I stuck to my resolution [last year] and bought a new home. Here's my new year's resolution for 2008: This year, I vow to save some money -- no more shoes! -- so that when I am furnishing my new loft, I can invest in quality furniture. Thankfully, our loft may not be ready for another couple of years anyway.”Tamara Robbins, associate design editorSmart-size it“With our eldest son off to college and our daughter not far behind him, my husband and I are eager to “smart size” (downsize sounds too negative). We're shopping for a smaller home, easy walking distance to great restaurants and amenities, and a gorgeous garden; something that supports a turnkey lifestyle.”Kimberley Seldon, decorating editorBuy bookcases“This year, I resolve to buy some much-needed bookcases. My love of books means that my collection is continually growing and it's hard to find homes for all of those books. I'd like to find some sturdy but stylish cases for the books in my bedroom, plus one to add to the living room for decorating books and cookbooks.”Natalie Bahadur, web editorQuit tooling around with tools"It's high time I invest in a customized tool set for my home that matchesthe standard I've set for my STYLE AT HOME styling kit that I take to photo shoots. Instead of an all-in-one generic toolkit, my styling kit is a mix-and-match assortment of my dream tools -- ratcheting screwdrivers, alaser level, not to mention an arsenal of paint-tin openers!"Brett Walther, assistant design editorMore resolutions on the next page >> More resolutions! Fix those photos and get crafty“I resolve to organize my photos, including inserting ancestral photographs in acid-free sleeves (carrmclean.ca) to preserve them. I also resolve to make time for beading projects (thesassybeadco.com) and for trying some new paper crafts (paper-source.com, michaels.com).”Julia Armstrong, senior editorBe clutter-free“To hold a garage sale in the spring. I'll be moving soon and don't want to pack anything that I don't need or love. It will also be nice to have a little extra cash for my new place and know that someone else will get to enjoy my stuff.”Jenn Houlihan, assistant editorBeautify the boudoir“My goal is to decorate my bedroom -- I've barely done a thing to it since I moved in. I'd like to replace my tallboy with a low-slung dresser, add a plush carpet (to keep bare feet cosy on cold winter mornings) and create a reading nook with a sink-into chair and chic floor lamp.”Corinna vanGerwen, senior editorDress the walls with art“My around-the-house resolution is to find the perfect pieces of art for my walls, especially in my bedroom.”Denise Barnard, senior editor Frame it"I love black and white scenic photos and I have been collecting them in various sizes for the past couple of years. Although you would never know this, because I don't have them on display since some need frames. My resolution is to get them out in the open with some gorgeous, but simple frames so guests can enjoy them as much as I do." Jenn Weatherhead, web editorial assistantSure, there are the old standby resolutions that surface each January: We promise to exercise more, eat well, manage debt and stress less. While an around-the-house resolution may not be as common as a standby resolution, it's a worthy ambition. After all, your home is your haven; it's your refuge from the chaos that takes place outside your front door. This year, follow the STYLE AT HOME staff's lead and work towards improving your living space. It's a worthy goal indeed.
