7-Piece Coaster Set, Snow
I resolve to use coasters. No more rings on my coffee table! These white ones look tidy in their coordinating case.
Jenny Cutting Board, Aqua
I resolve to finally replace my unsightly cutting board with a stylish version. I love the aqua band around this one.
Orange Geometric Wastebasket
I resolve to upgrade my trash bin to something a bit more stylish. This one has a great graphic pattern.
Organic Cotton Triangle Laundry Basket, Black
I resolve to not let my clothes pile up in my bedroom. This mod black and white hamper looks up to the task.
Wooden 'Clap-On' Alarm Clock
I resolve to wake up a few minutes earlier so that I'm not rushing out of the house in the morning. A design-savvy clock should help do the trick.
Cherry Napkin
I resolve to eat more fruits — or at least decorate with them. This vintage pattern would be perfect for summer entertaining.
Dana Gibson Large Gray Bargello Frames
I resolve to finally print out some of those pictures from my phone and put them in frames around the house. A chevron pattern is perfectly on trend.
Dana Gibson Pink Agra Pillow
I resolve to make my bed, even if I'm the only one that gets to see it. Decorative throw pillows like this one in a fun pattern motivate me to get the task done.
Demitasse Cups
I resolve to spend less money at the coffee shop and brew some drinks at home — but not without a set of colorful mugs.
Egg Holder Tray 1/2-Dozen, White
I resolve to get my tangled mess of jewelry in order. A white porcelain egg tray will keep my tiny earrings and rings organized.
Rose Gold Flatware, Set of 5
I resolve to try something new, and rose gold flatware is a unique spin on traditional stainless and silver metals.
Le Creuset 7-Piece Spatula Set, White
I resolve to streamline color palettes to keep my kitchen looking clean. White is the perfect color for a kitchen because it lets the colors of the food steal the show.
Rustic Leather Tray
I resolve to get my desk organized. These rustic leather trays are perfect for keeping the desktop neat.
Monogram Pillow Cover, K, Navy/Persimmon
I resolve to try monogramming. A bold "K" for Kate is sure to make a statement.
Upside Down Glass Carafe
I resolve to give my house guests the five-star treatment. A glass and carafe set gives a hotel-like feel to the guest bedroom.
Kate Spade Black & White Striped File Folders
I resolve to tackle paperwork and keep things organized. I think any office would benefit from these fun striped kate spade folders.
Lobster Door Knocker
I resolve to make a statement at the moment you reach my front door. I think a bold door knocker would set the tone.
Turkish Hydro Cotton Towel Set
I resolve to keep my bathroom looking like a spa with fresh and crisp neutral towels. These monogrammed ones are a modern take on a traditional concept.
Slim Console Table, Ocean
I resolve to update my entryway with functional furniture. This slim console is perfect for small spaces that need a spot for you to drop your keys and mail.
