A big part of my problem, pre-deslobification process, was not understanding how organizing solutions worked. Because they didn't work. At least they didn't work for me. And they definitely didn't work AT ALL like they did in the pictures on the package. I now know why. I wasn't accepting that any organizing solution, no matter how … [Read more...]
Decluttering
Decluttering is the foundation to transforming your home. But don't be afraid! We can start small.
The KEY to Maintaining Decluttering Progress
I needed new silver flip flops. My old ones were flopping more than they flipped. I knew I needed new ones because the old ones were embarrassing. And yet, when I scored some new ones for 75% off at an end-of-summer clearance sale, I didn't automatically throw out (because they were too bad to donate) my old ones. And that right there is … [Read more...]
Decluttering a Storage Room Video – Helping a Friend Declutter
I've realized that I hadn't shared some videos I put out last summer here on the blog! Yes, I know it's April. I helped my friend Hali declutter a storage space just off her kitchen. It's also her pantry, but because it's so big it collects randomness from the rest of the house. Go here to watch on YouTube (and to subscribe to my channel … [Read more...]
Re-Decluttering the Linen Closet Video
I made another video! If you don't see it below, go here to watch. The basic story of this decluttering project is that I started it on February 18th, broke through the major overwhelm, and pulled out the easiest of the easy stuff to stick into an immediately overflowing donatable Donate Box. I also straightened a little. Then life … [Read more...]
Replacing Ugly Cups
I'm not exactly sure how I got there, but I ended up at a Ross store recently. And found these pretty things on sale: I liked them. I liked the colors and the size. And I remembered we'd recently broken a glass and were down to only a few of the glasses from the set I'd received a few years ago. So more plastic cups had crept into our … [Read more...]
Decluttering a JUNK Cabinet (a Catch-All Storage Space)
I finally tackled an overwhelming storage space in my home. A storage space I'd avoided looking at for a very long time. A storage space I had attempted to declutter before. But I did it. And I made a video. So yay. The main thing I learned: Look. Always, always look. Even if I'm sure I know (like, absolutely, totally for sure sure) I … [Read more...]
Resourcefulness Can Be Wasteful. Really.
If I had to blame someone, I'd blame my mother. But I'm not blaming her, because I truly have no idea if she did this or if I did it myself. When I decluttered my pantry, I noticed this oh-so-resourceful use of a green bean box. (I did not, however, notice the grimy cabinet . . . ) The size was right, so it probably WAS a good idea … [Read more...]
Another Five Minutes in My Pantry #5MinuteFriday
Last week, I shared a five minute focus on my pantry. But, as often happens, five minutes leads to another five minutes. I do not count on this phenomenon, but I take it when it happens. After the first five, I kept going. I kept tossing and kept consolidating. I kept moving things to the shelves where I'd look for them first. Here is … [Read more...]
Decluttering My Pantry for Five Minutes #5MinuteFriday
It's Friday again. (Really.) This week, I chose to focus on my pantry for five minutes. The pantry I'd successfully ignored for more than five minutes. More than five months, probably. I grabbed a trash bag, took some before photos, and started working. Evidently, I have quite a thing for croutons. And I don't have much recall that … [Read more...]
