Last week, I bought a new pair of summer shoes. Tan-leather
strappy wedges. Excited to head to a patio this weekend sporting my new
purchase, my plans were quickly halted with the monsoon that poured down on
Toronto. My precious new shoes wouldn’t leave their box--and I felt a bit caged
in inside my condo.
But then again, staying inside for a night isn’t so bad. Here
are a few things to do on a rainy night in your condo.
Clean up. I know
cleaning may not be the most exciting thing to do—but having a nice clean space
will make the rest of the night more enjoyable and relaxing. Put on some fun
tunes, grab the swiffer, and give your condo a blitz.
Re-decorate. When it’s
rainy (and the subway is flooded!), it’s hard to come and visit us at Condobox to purchase a few new pieces or get some design advice. But, there are lots of
ways to give your space new energy with things you already have. Swap over
photographs in your picture frames; change the throw blanket on your sofa;
throw away wilting flowers and replace them with new flowers or an accent
piece, re-organize your closet and shoe rack.
Make dinner. I
have a bit of a habit of eating out—and being very lazy about making food when
I’m staying in (too many nights of munching on quick eats like salsa and dip). If
you have the time, make something delicious. Take the time to cut up the ingredients
with care and present your dish with style.
Get cozy. Light
some candles. Snuggle up in your favorite pj’s. Paint your nails. Read that
trashy magazine you picked up at the gym. Set up a pinterest account. Enjoy the
slow pace of a rainy evening at home.
