Show ‘N Share Tuesday: (Day 1 of 5 showing clutter in my home)


I don’t know if I have shared this or if I just thought it so many times that I think I have shared it. That strikes me as funny but on to the point I am going to make…..
A while back I mentioned I had removed clutter from somewhere in my home and received emails saying they were actually glad to hear that I also have clutter. Granted it doesn’t live long in my home but there are certainly places that I need to do clutter clearing. (Actually on a daily basis so I can keep organized).
I decided right then and there (after reading the emails) to walk around my home and when I saw clutter take a picture of it and share it with you. So, for the next (including this one) 5 Tuesday’s that is what I am doing.
In my living room I have some magazines that always end up on my piano bench or on the fireplace hearth. It looks like to clutter to me and besides they don’t have a home.
I gave it serious consideration since I knew I was doing this blog. I came up with a brilliant solution (why didn’t I see it sooner)? The way to free myself from every needing to do clutter clearing with my magazines again (I didn’t want to put them in a basket or a magazine rack) was to put them in this empty drawer in the armoire in the living room. (And the angels sang Ahhhhh). Did you catch that—the drawer was already empty. It was no extra work to put them there.
Now my magazines have a home and with the limited space does not become cluttered with oodles of magazine. Have I told you before I l-o-v-e clutter clearing—either in my home or organizing as a professional organizer.
Footnote: Before you ask…the rug under the drawer is the last one I finished hooking a few months ago. The would be rug on the piano bench is the first one I ever did (years and years and years ago) and the rug under the piano bench is a woven one my daughter brought me from Turkey.
