Fun things to do at Home, while Staying home during the Quarantine!

Hi everyone!  

Wow what a crazy, uncertain time right now!  Now, more than ever, we need each other. We need each other for truth, for support and to feel less alone during a time that can honestly feel quite scary.

Our willingness, as a people, to step up in the face of what we are all experiencing with COVID-19 is awe-inspiring.   

We are being told to self isolate and engage in social distancing. That means many of us aren't leaving our homes, unless we truly need to.

We truly believe our home is a place of refuge and hope you can love your space while you turn to family and friends in an era of social distancing.  ​

​Perhaps we can think of some fun things to do, that otherwise we might have not had time to do.
 
Here's a few examples:
 
Decor ideas:

• Re-style our bookcases
• Re-style our mantle tops
• Paint an accent wall
• Spray paint old items: a fresh coat of paint really brightens things up! Perhaps an old picture frame or vase?
• Edit your home, declutter
• Rearrange your furniture
• Try swapping draperies from one room to another
• Make pillowcases for your throw pillows with, left over fabric. Or look here for some great ideas! 

 
Cleaning ideas:

• Clean out junk drawers
• Clean your windows. I got to admit I'm dreading this!
• Take a magic eraser to your doors and door jambs. I did this today and I was shocked at how dirty they were!
• Clean out your purse
• Vacuum the inside of the car

 
Food ideas:

• Bake cookies
• What can you make for dinner using your perishable foods?
• Try a new recipe, I’m on the Keto diet and I’m loving it. Lots of recipes here! Https://www.pinterest.ca/jilsoniainteriordesigns/keto-yummy-recipes/

 
Paperwork ideas:

• Submit your income tax
• Organize your filing cabinet
• Organize your files on your computer
• Get caught up on your paperwork

 
Fun ideas:  

• Learn to draw
• Build a fort and read a book, yes, I mean adults too!
• Reminisce, going through your photo albums
• Finish that scrap booking album
• Sit outside and listen to the birds, try and identify them.
• Take a nap
• Scan old photos digitally to preserve them.
• Look up your family tree
• Give yourself a pedicure
• Now is the time for a long bubble bath

​Let’s all be there for each other OK?  I’ll be posting lots of great ideas of what to do design-wise while staying inside, on my "Jil Sonia Interior Design's Facebook group."
  We’d love to have you join us! 
 
Keep safe and remember to have fun!
