1. Grab a trash bag. “Go through all the rooms in your house and look for trash,” Ley says. “You’ll be surprised at what’s just lying around.” Whether it’s expired coupons, boxes, empty shampoo bottles in the shower, dry-cleaning tags, a dead plant or wastebaskets that need emptying, just making this first step will make you feel better. You may even decide you’re ready to make a second round with a light look for items you can donate, like books you’re never going to read again. “This will ease you into the process,” Ley says.
Bathtub surround: Teak and brushed gold suits the couple’s midcentury aesthetic. McLean and Skladan custom-designed the teak tub apron as a flat panel with three-quarter-inch square trim all around and a 1½-inch base. It is sealed for water and moisture resistance. Accessories: The artwork already belonged to the homeowners and gives a hint as to their style. Items like the paisley shower curtain, kilim rug and planters add a dose of boho flair. Bathtub: Starck by Duravit, 63 inches long by 27½ inches wide, with integrated back rest; rug: Magical Thinking Hana kilim rug and Adelphi gold planter, Urban Outfitters; find other kilim rugs
