Best New Organizing, Decorating & Cleaning Posts – 2018 Recap

As each year comes to a close, I think it’s important to pause and reflect on what went well before we jump into setting resolutions and goals for the next.

Part of that process for Polished Habitat is looking back on which topics really resonated with readers. Since I was researching them anyways, I thought I’d pull together a quick post with all the reader-favorites based on the number of times they’ve been read.

I ended up with a list of 21 great posts, some of which I need to re-read myself!

The mail clutter system is still working really well for us, but we identified that the after-dinner routine starts to fall apart when we get into a pattern of eating out vs cooking at home. But I LOVE it when we follow that routine and the house stays so much tidier, so I’m planning of doubling-down on my commitment to do it before bed every night at the latest!

While I wish you had time to read all of these now, it’s probably worth scanning to pick a couple that most speak to you now and then pin it to come back to the rest later.

Happy Reading! Just click any of the pink titles below to get right to the full post.
