We can safely say that the trash year that was 2018 is in the past, and it's time to focus on making 2019 at least slightly more bearable. Everyone's probably already made their New Year's resolutions (and are sticking to them, I hope!) — but, while those are great for yourself and all, have you ever thought about giving your living space a New Year's resolution?
Sounds a little off-the-hinges, but let me bring up a valid question here: What would Marie Kondo do in this situation? The best-selling author and star of the hit Netflix series Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, who seemingly has all of America asking if their personal possessions "spark joy," would do exactly that: Ask you if your living space sparks joy.
If it's not sparking any joy for you, then hot damn, do I have some good news for you. Not only will these 14 items from T.J. Maxx and Wayfair spark some serious joy within your soul, they'll also give your home a brand-new, fresh, joyful update to carry you through 2019.
