Tomorrow is October. As in, Fall. Wow. So, it's time to share my decluttering progress for September. Thankfully, it's better than August . . . which only had one decluttering project. Normal Friend came over again today, because she honestly loves helping me clean. So . . . completely . . . bizarre. This week has been crazy, and … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
Donating the Stuff From My . . . Donation Spot
Step One: Declutter. Step Two: Get the stuff you decluttered out of your house. I love my donation spot. But I realized the other day that it was as tall as I am. It was no longer just a spot, but more of an area-in-which-to-practice-balancing-random-items-on-top-of-one-another. Since this week has been crazy with helping out at the … [Read more...]
Decluttering in the Master Bedroom with Normal Friend – With Webisode
I guess I could just call this "Normal Friend" week, huh? Really, though, the work that we got done when she was here for three hours last Friday was (at least) a week's worth of work for me. I'm so . . . incredibly . . . grateful. Anyway, the final thing that we did before she left was to shoot a webisode. Probably not the … [Read more...]
That Spot? Again?
Sometimes, knowing that I've showed the transformation of this same spot umpteen times makes blogging get on my nerves. While the first time, I was proud of myself, and the second time I was able to grasp how this was a real problem spot and the third time I was amazed that it was such a quick fix . . . by the sixteenth time, I'm just … [Read more...]
Not ONE Thing Allowed on the Dining Room Table
I've cleaned off the dining room table . . . so . . . many . . . times. Thankfully, the room as a whole has never gotten as bad as it was pre-blog, but it makes me crazy that the table collects clutter the way it does. (Bad table.) Anyway, as I re-decluttered in my latest webisode, I realized that I need to make two personal … [Read more...]
Re-Decluttering the Linen Closet (Includes Webisode #2!)
This is my linen closet. Even with the door shut, my slob-problems make themselves known. But comparatively, that's nothing. Nothing compared to the open-the-door-and-let-the-world-see shot. Blankets are my excuse. The last time I decluttered this same-exact-space, the blankets were moved to a different storage space. Obviously, … [Read more...]
Decluttering the Kitchen Drawer
This drawer has been making me crazy. For a very . . . . long . . . . time. It's the drawer that makes me appear to be a neurotically over-zealous host. While in fact, I'm just neurotic. When a casual serve-yourself-from-the-stove guest asks where the forks are . . . and my husband accidentally tells them . . . . I find myself … [Read more...]
Decluttering Decisions are Personal
When my husband gathered up trash this morning, and picked up this newly-broken lamp . . . I felt the familiar pang in my chest. Am I really going to put that lamp in the trash? But I love that lamp! LovED that lamp. Because now, of course, it's broken. When I arrived home Sunday evening from my trip, I was brought back to Mama … [Read more...]
Hearing a Strange Voice
During a conversation regarding whether the Chinese umbrellas that were used for VBS decorations should be saved or included with the things passed on to another church, a strange voice said: “Can you think of ANY specific reason that you might need them? No? Get rid of them!” After seeing that my mother has new deck chairs and finding the … [Read more...]
