At Home: From decorating tips to whiter linens, here’s what we learned in 2023

One of my favorite year-end rituals is to look back at the year’s columns, see how much we’ve gone through together and pull out a bit of advice that strikes me as especially noteworthy. Here are my takeaways from the first six months of 2023.In January, I began a column about furnishing a rental property with this line: “I do not have a second home for the same reason I do not have a second husband. I can barely keep up with the one I have.” By December, I was eating my words for lunch, and finding the rental decorating tips coming in handy.Lesson: Never say never. Decorate your vacation home nicely enough to attract good tenants and occasionally enjoy yourself, but also affordably with replacement in mind. Plan for attrition because small furnishings – pillows, bedspreads, pots and pans — have a way of disappearing.In February, I helped two friends stage their beautiful lake house and home of 31 years to help them sell it so they could rightsize — and use the money to ...
