Spruce up in style
Whoever suggested that a good clean sweep needs to wait until spring, never experienced the January craving to purge. The beginning of a new year creates a clean canvas for a variety of everyday commodities; the calendar is filled with blank, white + crisp pages, new goals are being carefully penned and priorities are being realigned. What a better time than now to do a little de-cluttering of those unnecessary items consuming space, to create that same fresh vibe throughout your home. They say a cluttered mind leaves little room for creativity, and nobody wants that.
Today’s Fancy Find selections are to inspire that clearing out, sorting through and sprucing up of the old, to make room for and welcome in the new, in the chicest way possible of course. For all of those items that you can’t bear to part from, for those piles of leftover wrapping paper, stacks of cards from friends + family and other miscellaneous keepsakes, there’s something here for you.
One: These stackable glass jars can be used to hold a combination of various items, from nail polish + bracelets to pasta varieties, and will add stylish flair to any space. Whether you place them in the kitchen or on a vanity, the usefulness of these dainty jars are endless.
