Smart Answer To Clutter Control

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012 by admin

Clutter Control Show ‘Share Tuesday:

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

AFTER
I love seeing before and after photos. How about you? These pictures say it all—as you can see some serious clutter control happened.

Things had been shoved into this cupboard, likes weren’t together and bowls and pans were kept that were never used.

It was a simple thing to donate items that were never used and others that were used but only because they were there, not because they were liked.

Do you have some clutter control that needs to be done and it is as simple as getting rid of some things you don’t like but you just hang on to?

Indulge Yourself With Clutter Control On Fridge

Monday, January 30th, 2012 by admin

Monday’s  Clutter Control Focus:

What is on the outside of your fridge? How many magnets do you have? How many ads? How many phone numbers? How many sticky notes? How much outdated information is hanging out on your fridge?

Does your fridge need clutter control?  I’m just asking, no need to stone me. Take a look—a good look and what do you actually see?

This is a photo of my fridge. All three magnets are from my daughters and have meaning to me. One is from the Issaquah fair in Washington, the other a special New Year’s tea this year that Cindy had for us and the other one is over 20 years old and is from Oregon.

Does this focus strike a chord in you and you are itching to do some clutter control? Or is your fridge as clean as a whistle? Or is it cluttered and you like it just the way it is?

Attractive Fridge Gives Way To Clutter Control

I am watching a most addictive BBC series “Lark Ford to Candlerise” every chance I get. It is the story of two different villages and the story has me mesmerized as well as the terrific and believable acting of every single character. Dorcas–one of the main characters is always saying “this is my ‘one’ weakness” (she has about 15 by now).

Wouldn’t it be nice if clutter control was our ‘one’ weakness? And what better place that could happen than over the fridge. This is another flat surface that seems to have magnets on it to attract all sorts of things.

Clutter control was fast and simple over this fridge—it was a matter of finding homes for everything and eliminating things that didn’t belong.

Do you have a secret for clutter control over your fridge? I have a plant on mine, a basket for paper and pens (since I don’t have drawers in my kitchen) and the kitchen phone. These are all necessities and they leave no room for anything else.

Sunshine Fresh When It Comes To Getting Rid Of Clutter

Thursday, January 12th, 2012 by admin

Getting rid of clutter may be as easy as choosing a different color. I was organizing with this delightful woman and in her small pantry she kept her garbage can. It took up valuable space and was in the way. I asked her if she could move it out and put it at the end of the counter.

It seemed like a perfect fit as the space was just right. (Just like the Three Bears story and Goldilocks). Anyway she liked the idea and the next week when I walked in her kitchen she pointed out the new place for her garbage can and said what a difference it had made to move it and how much they liked it there.

What surprised me was the color choice.  Instead of the typical white which she had before and I see in most homes it was black and it blended right in instead of being noticed.

I had never thought of color as a way of getting rid of clutter —have you?

Express Clutter Clearing Sings Under The Sink

We have been organizing—I wish I could say we have been organizing up a storm as it is sooo dry here in Utah. We went to a ski resort for New Years as it is our tradition every year to ski on or near New Year’s Day but this year all we did was walk on the crusty old pitted snow with Yak Tracks on our shoes as it was icy.

But I divert—As you can see from these photos clutter clearing certainly helped this under the sink area sing.  We took out a bin that was taking up more space than it was worth, we added a basket for easy pull out to see and use the products. (This basket was what was on hand and will be replaced soon with a better one).

Clutter clearing took a turn for the best when another basket was placed inside for clean cloths and the drawer was reserved for dirty ones.

We used what we had and now it has been given the clutter clearing treatment it is much more user friendly, both to the eyes and for function.

All Ocasion Glass Markers Make Clearing Clutter A Snap

Friday, December 23rd, 2011 by admin

I love getting packages in the mail and this year I got the most creative product I have seen. What a great way to cut clutter! My daughter Janice sent me glass markers. First I received the ones for the Christmas Crowd and a day later along came the Party People. These are cute little shapes that have tiny suction cups that adhere to glass. They stick around longer than most guests. They are food approved but not suitable for children under 3 years.

Janice had dinner with friends who used these and immediately she knew I had to have them for our glasses. When my family comes home—no matter what time of the year—we are always trying to figure out how to mark our glasses. We have used masking tape (has to be reapplied after washing), and we have put different colored rubber bands around the glass.

These little guys are really cute and would be a great way to cut clutter but they didn’t stay on our ceramic mugs (we really didn’t need them on those as they are decorative so are easy to identify). They have also not clung real well to our glass glasses. They are so cute we will keep trying to figure out how to get them to cling.

You can find them on Amazon or at www.jellyrivers.com The name on the box is vacu vin. The price is $2.49 to $4.99 at Amazon. These will certainly help with clearing clutter on the counter because everyone won’t be using a new glass every time they get a drink of water.

Each little marker has fun names also. Names like sneaky, deep, curious, macho, naughty, veggie and mysterious to list a few.

Straight Talk About Clutter Control In The Freezer

Clutter Control Show ‘N Share Tuesday:

Freezer

Freezer Door

 What’s in your freezer? Do you know or is crying out for clutter control?  Could you hear mine crying?  It was crying loud and clear. I actually like to organize the freezer because it is a small space and doesn’t take a lot of time if I revisit it about every 3 months.  How about you? Do you like organizing your freezer?

Clutter Control Tips to organize a fridge freezer:

  • Keep likes together
  • Contain items in plastic containers (They may crack and break but it’s worth taking the chance).  Mine have but not enough that they aren’t still functional.  Do you have a good alternative?  I would love to hear it.
  • Label food with content, date and amount when putting it in the freezer.

What are secrets do you use to keep clutter under control in your freezer?

Are you ever inspired by Show ‘N Share Tuesday?
