Clever Way To Declutter Your Home

Declutter Your Home Show ‘N Share Tuesday:

Look at this clever way to declutter your home. I was organizing with a woman and we were doing a walk through her home and when I saw this great organizing idea. I immediately asked her if I could share this clever idea with my readers.

To contain her hair clips she has organized them on belts she no longer uses and hangs them from a ring placed on a hook.  This is much better than the clips taking up a few drawers and being all jumbled together.

Thank you Casandra for sharing with us this smart way to declutter your home!

Solid Clutter Control on Show ‘N Share Tuesday

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 by admin

Where would you like to revisit of all the places you have been? There are so many places in the world to see I don’t know if I will ever revisit some of my favorite faraway places. Two places that are on the top of my list to revisit are Italy and New Zealand.

But for now I just revisited a couple of drawers as part of my ongoing clutter control plan in my home. If you know me at all you know I say one way to keep organized is to revisit places we have organized.

I didn’t take before photos as there were only a couple of things out of place and you wouldn’t have noticed any difference. Someone had put some gloves in the drawer which I moved to their real home. Other than that clutter control was under control.

It was nice looking in this drawer and realizing it had stayed organized. What really helped was having containers. They help keep things from growing and taking over spaces.

So—where would you like to revisit—in your travels or in your home?

6 Hot Tips For Clearing Clutter

BEFORE Clearing Clutter

Show ‘N Share Clearing Clutter Tuesday

How on earth do things get so cluttered without me even knowing it? Do you have this same thing happen to you? I have three tiny stationary drawers which I want to eliminate all together. (The stationary, not the drawers) I have a plan but am not quite ready to implement it.

Anyway these drawers needed some serious clutter control. This is what I did:

  • Took everything out.
  • Looked at everything (and shook my head in wonderment that I had kept all this stuff).
  • Recycled cards I didn’t like because I know I would never use them.
  • Consolidated cards.
  • Put blank envelopes where they belonged.
  • Ate some Club crackers and pear sauce as a reward.

Why do I resist clearing clutter? Because I don’t even realize it is cluttered I guess. This sure does feel good. Now  when I have plan the time I will do the third drawer.
