Home Ec: My Top 6 Tips for a Happy, Healthy Home

For the past 20 weeks, we’ve been celebrating Home Ec on Design*Sponge. From tips about cleaning and saving money to tutorials on fixing broken things (or dying plants) at home, we’ve gathered a great collection of trusted home ideas that will help you get through everyday bumps and breaks at home.

We started our first week of photoshoots for our new book, so this will be our last Home Ec post for a while. I thought a lot about what would be a nice way to close this column, and I kept coming back to the way I’ve learned to live at home and what makes me happiest and calmest when I’m here. So today I thought I’d share my happy home “tips” that I live by to get me through stressful moments, and quick-fixes around the house that I believe in fully when it comes to decorating. Hopefully they’ll come in handy if you ever need a little pick-me-up at home. xo, grace
