9 Mood-Lifting Ideas For a Cozier Home This Winter Banish the winter blahs for a radically better outlook this season.
It’s been a freakin’ long day at work and you just want to get home and relax on your deck. But nooooooo, it’s already dark outside and that chill in the air is telling you it’s time to pull out your parka. OK, inside it is. But then it hits you: Indoors feels more like a dank cave than a welcoming oasis. Depressing. You don’t have to succumb to the winter blahs. Just implement a few of these ideas, and you’ll be warm and comfy inside until winter’s worst blows over. 1. CLEAN YOUR LIGHT FIXTURES AND BULBS Your home will appear 30% brighter — without turning on more lights. 2. Keep the Cold Air Out It’s not just window and door leaks killing your cozy vibe. Don’t forget to plug stealthy gaps around recessed lights, electrical boxes, and wall outlets. Use a lit incense stick or scented candle to hunt down drafty spots while leaving behind a cozy scent. 3. Dig Out Your Slow Cooker Nothing says warm and cozy like opening the door to an enticing aroma that makes your mouth water. Even better, slow cookers are more energy efficient than electric ovens, typically using less energy than a light bulb. 4. Bring Home Some Nature Many indoor plants, like golden pothos and gerbera daisies, are particularly adept at sucking up nasty VOCs — the vapors emitted from household cleaners, paints, and dry cleaning. And since plants increase humidity levels, they help decrease household dust. 5. Vacuum With Your Thermostat Fan On Run the fan to help filter dust that gets kicked up while cleaning. Leave it on for about 15 minutes after you finish vacuuming, and switch it back to “auto” afterward. HVAC blowers aren’t intended to run all the time. 6. Change the Furnace / AC Filter Change your filter every couple months (monthly if you have pets) to prevent excess dust and allergens from circulating. All that bad air just gets you down. 7. Let the Sunlight In (It’ll Make You Happy) Clean your windows. Sparkling glass not only lets more natural light into your home, it’s a feel-good task, according to a survey by the American Clean Institute. When ACI asked consumers what clean surfaces make them happy, “gleaming windows” made the top five above a “spotless sink.” Besides all that, daylighting is a great mood booster. 8. Put Your Window Screens Into Hibernation They trap dirt and can make your home appear darker inside and out. It’s a good curb appeal booster, too. 9. Add an Interior Window If you’ve got a dark room that’s next to a sun-drenched space, putting a window in the shared wall will let the natural light in.

11 Easy-Up, Easy-Down Decor Hacks for Stress-Free Holidays Start saving those egg cartons! Give or take a Scrooge or two, everybody loves the holidays: Decorating the tree, hanging lights, hanging holly … all those things! But you know what nobody loves? Taking all those things down. Because, wow, what an unorganized mess. Before you go all Scrooge, get your jolly back with these simple holiday decorating hacks. #1 Protect Ornaments With Holiday Recyclables Trimming the tree should feel like the happy ending of a Lifetime holiday movie, not a game show guessing which box will contain broken memories. Keep ornaments safe for next year by stowing them in leftover party cups, hot-glued onto a piece of foam board cut to fit inside a storage bin, recommends Lisa Woodruff, a Cincinnati-based professional organizer. Or pack ornaments away using bubble wrap from holiday packages, or egg cartons from those countless cookies you made. All of these options make for shock-absorbent padding that’s more durable than paper towels or tissue paper. #2 Create a Year-Round Focal Point You dream of decking every hall, every year, but when the holidays roll around, you’ve got a brisket to bake and cocktails to clink. So focus your festive energy on just one iconic focal point — a wreath on the front door or greenery on the mantel — something that easily changes with the seasons. Or, create a display that makes you feel merry year-round. (Try repurposing storefront letters to spell out “LOVE” or “JOY” — sentiments that never go out of season.) #3 Create a Decorating Toolbox Before you can hang a single strand of lights or sprig of mistletoe, you have to find the gosh-darn zip ties, track down the floral wire, and repurpose a few extension cords. Just thinking about the prep work makes you ready for a long winter’s nap. But this year’s gonna be your prep for next year, and the years to follow. As you put everything up, keep a running checklist of what you need. Then stock a toolbox that gets replenished every year. #4 Leave Your Light Hooks and Nails in Place for Next Year If you like to trim your home’s roof and siding with holiday lights, you know what a hassle it is to find last year’s nail holes while balancing on a ladder with your extremities slowly freezing. So, this year, use hooks that match your siding (not nails because they fall out easier) or paint them so they are indistinguishable from your siding or trim before you put them up. Then leave them up when you take down your lights. Come next year, just rehang your lights and bask in your twinkling success. #5 Wrap Lights Around Gift Boxes There’s nothing like a multicolored knot of lights to put a damper on your bright holiday spirit. So as you take down this year’s lights, wrap them around empty gift boxes or cardboard. Make a small notch on each side to keep the ends snugly in place. Next year you’ll spend less time untangling your lights and more time basking in them.

#6 Hang Wreaths in the Rafters All year you look forward to hanging that wreath you got for a steal at an after-Christmas sale. Rather than tossing it in a trash bag, where it can too easily get seriously mushed or even forgotten, hang it from 4-inch nails hammered into the attic rafters or garage walls, Woodruff recommends. It will be easy to find, and will be in pristine shape for next year. #7 Store Your Tree With the Decorations on It No, seriously. If strategizing the placement of skiing Garfield and his 107 dangly friends is your least favorite part of holiday decorating, skip it after this year. Ask someone to help you tightly wrap this year’s decorated (artificial) tree — yep, ornaments and all — with heavy-duty stretch plastic wrap (the type that professional movers use, which you can find at home improvement stores). Next year, just cut the wrap and reshape the branches. Happy holidays indeed. #8 Or Give in and Buy a Tree Bag Every December 26, you begin to dread awkwardly wrestling your artificial tree back into its original packaging. This year, go ahead and spend the 50 bucks on a tree bag or box, Woodruff says. It will seal out dirt, dust, and bugs, won’t smash the branches, and some styles even allow you to store your tree fully or partially assembled. Plus, just knowing you can skip the reassembly next time makes for an extra happy New Year. #9 Trim Those Trimmings Getting out decorations should be a welcome walk down memory lane — not a guilt trip through items you “should” display but … ugh. So when you take down this year’s decor, follow the old rule for paring down your wardrobe and get rid of anything you didn’t use — you know, that carol-singing mounted fish from your dad or Nana’s crocheted coaster set — and donate them. “If it’s a sentimental item, take a picture of it,” Woodruff says. You won’t waste storage space and, come next year, you’ll be greeted only by items you love and use. #10 Organize By Room If you’ve got snowmen in every bathroom and a jingle bell on every drawer, you may end up with mountains of half-empty boxes piled everywhere for longer than you spend enjoying the decor. Get your halls decked more efficiently by sorting your boxes of trimmings by room, Woodruff suggests. Then, label each light strand by location — mantel, doorway, tree, etc. Decorating is merrier when you can grab a bin and make an evening of it, one room at a time. #11 Create a "Must-Have" Bin Put all your favorite decorations in one “first-up, last-down” bin. Next year, you’ll spend more time enjoying your cherished menorah or manger and less time rummaging to find it. By AMY HOWELL HIRT has written about home design for 13 years.

Upgrades from your deck to your roof could leave you with that snug-in-a-bug feeling. By DEIRDRE SULLIVAN
soaring medical bills) on those how-is-it-dark-already winter evenings.
Winter is so. Rough. On. Your. Home. Some ways to use outdoor lighting: So jump at the chance to do these home improvement projects now — when you’ve still got sun and warm temps — for a home that’s gorgeous, warm, and worry-free when winter does come. Vitamin D boost included.
• Along driveways, sidewalks, porch and deck rails • Motion lights above the garage • Rope lights on deck and porch railings
#1 Upgrade Your Deck So It Won't Get Slippery — or Rot
• Uplighting for trees and other features Your deck hates winter. Like, even more than you do. Wintry weather soaks it, freezes it, and makes it swell and shrink repeatedly. It’s a recipe for wood rot — and an ER visit if you step through the decayed part (hello, co-pay). Even if you come out unscathed, it’ll cost you $8 to $20 a square foot to replace with just basic treated wood. So why not be proactive and do something to protect your deck, and while you’re at it, make it prettier and more enjoyable for the rest of your summer? • Stain it with a gorgeous color to shield against water, mildew, and harsh sun. • Give it new post toppers (solar ones are a nice touch).
LEDs last a long time and don’t use much energy. But they do require hard-wiring, which could require an electrician. Solar lights don’t need wiring, but the light can be less bright. #3 Switch Your Fireplace to Gas for Lower Heating Bills Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Gas bill has you paying through the nose … Science lesson: Most of the warm air from your beloved holiday hearth goes right out the chimney instead of into your room. But you can reverse that climb in your heating bill by converting it to a gas fireplace insert. Why fireplace inserts are better than wood: • You can turn them on and off with a remote.
• Add some planters for all season color. • Maybe even screen your deck and enjoy it bug-free the rest of this summer and fall?
• They’ll work even when the power goes out (great during snowstorms, and possibly saving you on hotel bills).
#2 Light Up Your Landscape • They really do help lower heating bills. You probably barely escaped a lawsuit when your grouchy neighbor (not the fun one) slipped on your dark driveway last January.
• You can even program some of them to turn on when your house reaches a certain temp.
Avoid a replay (that could cost you lost work and

HOME finder.org Feature A fireplace insert will totally revolutionize your winter — but it won’t come cheap. An insert is an investment of about $3,000 to $6,500 installed, says Charlie Turner, president of Cricket on the Hearth, Inc., in Rochester, N.Y., “but you’ll save money by using your furnace less and zone heating your living space better.” #4 Replace a Leaky Roof With a Pretty One (That'll Keep Winter Out — Forever) A new roof isn’t nearly as fun as buying that art deco dining table you’ve had your eye on. But then, maybe you haven’t seriously seen metal roofs, which come in some pretty cool colors. It could totally transform your home. Metal roofs: • Never die. Correctly installed, they’ll last as long as your house. • Have great resale value because they last so long. • Weigh less than other roofs (less stress on your home’s structure). • Install faster than shingles because they come in sheets. • Shrug off heavy snow; it simply slides off, never sticking around. • Come in brighter colors than their muted competition.
If in your heart, you know you’re not going to do that (your heart always knows), a low-hassle option is to take the time in summer to book a pro in the fall — before they get swamped and won’t even answer your calls. #6 DIY Some Window Treatments to Keep It Cozy at Night Wait, didn’t we just suggest allowing in the sunshine? Yes, so plan to keep your shades open during the day, but once the sun goes down, you’ll want to keep heat inside and freezing air out. There’s a pretty neat DIY project called a Kume curtain that originated in Chile (how cool, is that?), which solves that problem. They’re kind of like shades — but with four insulating layers that trap air, keeping your room toasty. And since you’re DIYing them, you can make them as fun and flattering as you like — while enjoying the last of summer’s warmth.

They do cost more than traditional shingles, but if you live in an area with heavy snowstorms, and you plan to stick around for awhile, the worry-free nature of them is really sweet.

#5 Wash Your Windows to Let the Sun in You’re spoiled now, but think about how you’ll be for sunlight in about six months. Do yourself a sunny favor and clean your windows inside and out to bring in warm winter sunshine. You’ll save money on heating bills, brighten your house, and lift your mood.

9 No-Sweat Hacks to Deep Clean the Cruddiest Things Like using a drill on your tub (why didn’t we think of it sooner?!) Ahhh! Sparkling floors, gleaming windows, and zero dust bunnies. A thorough cleaning can make your abode feel brand new. But that immaculate house comes with a price — sore biceps. Instead of skimping on your annual deep clean because you’re zonked, use these brilliant hacks for nine of the most pain-inthe-butt tasks. You’ll get the same pristine results with half the time and energy. #1 Break Out the Drill on Your Bathtub Cleaning a grungy tub can be back-breaking work. But here’s a genius idea that’ll save you time and sweat: Use your drill. Simply attach a scrubby (or a foam ball polishing attachment if you happen to have one) and use it to do the scrubbing for you. Look in the automotive section for the attachment, which is made specially for tackling grime without scratching surfaces. #2 Soak Stove Burners in Ammonia Your stove burners take the bulk of the greasy, gunky mess during cooking, so do them a favor and give them a good cleaning. Don’t worry: No scrubbing involved. To clear the crud, combine your stove burners and 1/4 cup ammonia in a plastic bag and let sit overnight. They should come clean with a light sponge the next day. #3 Run Floor Vents Through the Dishwasher Scour as you might, removing all the accumulated dirt and dust from your floor and ceiling vents can be a spring cleaner’s nightmare. If yours are made of aluminum or steel, there’s a shortcut to spic-and-span: Just run them through the dishwasher on a water-only cycle. #4 Iron Out Bad Carpet Stains Don’t spend an hour scrubbing out that nasty, set-in carpet splotch. Iron it out instead. Spritz a solution of one part vinegar, three parts water on the stain, and lay a clean cotton cloth on top. Turn your iron to its highest steam setting and run it over the stain for about 10 seconds to transfer the stain to the cloth and off your carpet. #5 Tie a Bag of Vinegar Around Your Showerhead Mineral build-up on your showerhead can cause low water pressure and wonky water streams. But it’s easy to clean them without removing them. Using a rubber band, attach a bag of vinegar to your showerhead, making sure all the holes are submerged in the vinegar, and soak it overnight. Voilà. Good as new. #6 Make Your Leaf Blower Multi-Task Forget the broom and rags when you’re cleaning out the garage. Whip out your leaf blower and let it blow all the dust, debris, and dead bugs (yuck!) away from the floor and shelving. Just be sure to put away light-weight things could accidentally get blown out with the trash. #7 Get Rid of Crayon Marks with Goo Gone Removing evidence of your toddler’s overactive imagination from your gorgeous white walls can be a struggle, but a little bit of Goo Gone (traditionally used to clean sticker residue) will remove the crayon and your headache. Spray it on the drawing, wait a moment, and wipe it off cleanly — without exhausting your arms. #8 Boil Your Range Filter There’s no need to scrub the grease and grime off your range filters. Use a bit of baking soda and your largest pot instead. Set the water to boil, slowly add 1/2 cup of baking soda, and submerge your filters for about five minutes. (Make sure to dump the water somewhere safe. Grease in the drain is even worse than grimy filters.) #9 Sprinkle Your Mattress With Baking Soda Your mattress needs a springtime refresh, too, but you sure can’t toss it in the washing machine. Cleaning gurus recommend dragging your mattress outside, beating it, and letting the sunshine help freshen it, then dragging it back in. But who has the muscle for that? This is much easier: Use a kitchen strainer to sprinkle baking soda over its surface and let sit for an hour or longer. Longer is better.
