I embrace Christmas wholeheartedly, but by the time January rolls around I’m feeling a bit antsy and ready for something new. Taking down my Christmas decorations makes my house feel a bit empty for a while, but it’s also not a month where I have extra money to spend. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling like January is approximately 7,324 million days long, so I like a little project around this time of year to give me something to do. 

Here are some easy, inexpensive things you can try when you’re bored this month and as a bonus, they’re also easily reversible if you hate the results.
