Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, May 30, 2018 A11 HOME & GARDEN RELAX Continued from Page A8 • Focus on only one area. Get one room done. Set a timer and allow yourself to work for a time — one hour. • Start small, like a junk drawer. When done, move on, but stay in the same room. • Take away everything wintery — decorative pil- lows and throws, pine cones. • Have three bins for sort- ing — keep, toss, donate. • Touch each item only once before it goes in the bin. This helps you do it quickly and won’t let senti- mentality set in. • Let it go ASAP. Take a load to the thrift store right away with no second-guess- ing. • Pull out 10 items you haven’t worn in the last year and donate or sell. • Store special dresses or shoes in boxes under the bed. Hueckman said some may be at a loss of where to begin, but getting the whole family involved in the pro- cess may help. “Schedule a time when everyone can participate,” she said. “The idea of living a simplified, decluttered life appeals to all of us.” For clothing, Hueckman uses the 80/20 rule. “We generally wear 20 percent of the clothes we own,” she said. “The same goes with toys, books, DVDs and other items.” When searching for room design ideas, she said it can be helpful to change one’s perspective. “Take photos of the room you’re working on, and look at them away from home,” she said. “Ask someone over to help see your home in a new light.” She said taking that fresh look or having new eyes on it can help.

Decorative elements for the home at Station 62. “We don’t really see stuff when we live in it ev- ery day,” she said. Hueckman said making time to organize the home can be rewarding. “I feel that when you come home to an organized space, it gives you a feel- ing of freedom, space and relaxation,” she said. Station 62, located at 145 S. Canyon City Blvd., features home decor, in- cluding whimsical signs, pillows, frames, chalk- boards, vases, throws and more. Hueckman describes the style as modern farm- house with a little “boho” or Bohemian. Clothing, shoes, candles, jewelry, mugs and sunglasses are also available. The Station 62 coffee shop has a drive- up window, and hairstylist Kim Grove owns The Cut Above, an adjoining busi- ness. Visitors to Roan, at 154 Front St. in Prairie City, will find a warm atmo- sphere with a plethora of rustic decor for every corner of the home. They also have a coffee shop, and sell wine, wine glasses, jewelry, yarn, rugs, all-occasion cards and more. A vintage-style storage tray found at Roan can hold everything from knick-knacks to essentials.
