declutter! bring in new furniture!

An Ikea black shelf. It never suited the front bedroom.

Hotspot. Now cleared.

I finished unpacking my stuff, finally, and found some goodies in the boxes.

 

More in my blog.

After removing the boxes, I see that I need to declutter coat closet next.

Bulky waste on the road

Quick project to build a second hanging bookshelf for my office, which will allow me to declutter considerably.

 

Time to start putting on the finish. In this case, my usual: a couple coats of Watco, followed by a coat of Butcher's wax.

Inspried by the baskests post I finally get around to de-cluttering my life. Oh and yes that's a stormtrooper watching me sleep everynight.

Allanah tries to hide unsuccessfully.

My friend Sabina gave me this little wooden clown years ago. He hangs on the kitchen window and makes me smile. Today as part of my kitchen declutter and clean tasks he was down on the bench for a wipe-down.

I got rid of old floral foam, tiny flower pots, cooling racks I never use, a couple of bowls I didn't even recognize, and an old ice shaver...

The red pan is DH's fudge pan. Fudge is all that pan is used for, so it is stored here and not with my often-used pots and pans.

276/365 Friday 3 October 2014 - The last day of fine weather according to the forecasters. Tomorrow the sunflower maybe the only 'sun' thing in sight. After work I continued on the declutter/autumn clean with defrosting the freezer and some serious cleaning maintenance on the washing machine. (I caused and fixed a leak in the process.) Some you win, some you lose!

That is a lot of snow to brush off!

I was going to declutter her stuffed animals, I couldn't bear to when I noticed she plays with all of them. How can you have a horse parade with only a couple of horses? (and one bunny named cuppy)

I love my little snail bowl. I bought it a decade ago at IKEA.

Here is a 4' X 4' storage unit that we consolidated with client's 2nd storage unit that was 5' x 6'! "Before" shots show only items originally found in smaller storage closet. "After" shots show both units consolidated.

Self Storage is an excellent way to free up space in your home. It can also be used to declutter and find new uses for items you once collected but no longer require.

Many people cannot use their storage units for their daily needs because the storage room is full of items that do not belong there. If you live in a cluttered area, self-storage units can be a time-consuming process to manage. There are numerous methods for decluttering StorageStorage, so you can stop ignoring them! Here are some pointers for cleaning your storage unit.

 

Make a Strategy

Make a strategy for how you will store and organize your inventory within the storage unit. Purchase all packing supplies, including labels, boxes, and any bubble or protective paper wrap. Going in with a plan and a time/date to tackle the packing and moving will make things go much more smoothly.

Make use of climate-controlled Storage

Regarding storing your company's inventory, climate-controlled Storage is the way to go. Your items will be kept at stable temperatures and will not be subjected to high heat and humidity, harboring mold and bacteria and damaging certain materials permanently.

Always make sure the storage facility you use has climate-controlled units, even if you have to pay a premium for them. It will be worthwhile because your items will remain in perfect condition for StorageStorage.

 

Pack Items Properly

Take your time, and don't rush packing if you don't want to damage your inventory or have things go missing during the move. Pack carefully to ensure that nothing is damaged.

If necessary, use bubble wrap and substantial, heavy-duty plastic bins. Packing your items carefully will benefit you in the long run and make the transition easier because you won't have to worry about things breaking while in Storage.

 

Clean Your Items Before Storing

Before bringing your belongings into storage, give your belongings (especially upholstered items) a thorough cleaning. Unused furniture, clothing, and kitchen items can bring bugs, mold, and other foreign substances into a storage unit. These microscopic storage invaders can cause significant issues over time. Cleaning your belongings and storage unit before you start storing can make a big difference.

 

Wrap Fragile Objects

How do you pack and store fragile items? Before placing them in packing boxes, they should be wrapped in bubble wrap, newspaper, or both. This will help to avoid unsightly cracks, chips, and other damage. (We recommend double or triple wrapping for particularly exposed parts of fragile items to increase stability and prevent breakage.) Smaller fragile items can also be packed among clothes or other soft belongings for added cushioning.

 

Mark boxes to make them easier to find

Instead of trying to decipher markings on boxes weeks later when you open them, you can use different coloured tags to identify boxes that require special attention. That way, you won't have to go through each one to find a couple of items. Label flat surfaces or more excellent areas with chalkboard or dry-erase paint to help you remember where you put things.

30 Day "D" Challenge day 11 was a Deal and Donate day - For months I've had a giant down comforter taking over one end of my couch, and while the cover was pretty, between my down allergies and the amount of cat fur on it I never actually used it. So today I finally pulled it off, washed and stored the cover for use in the guest room, and packed the comforter up to send to my sister. Then I replaced it with a small blue fleece blanket that is just big enough to stop the cat from sharpening his claws on the end of the couch.

Blurry, but I already put the doors back in so not redoing the photo :P

I'm trying to clear out and organise a bit.

I parked near the shark in order to take some things to Oxfam - trying to declutter a bit in preparation for decorating the living room. Also found some curtains I like (in Kidlington) and Mike bought his (early) birthday present - a new flat screen TV.

 

Oh, for more info on the shark, for those who don't know it, hopefully this link will work:

Here's the Kitchen Week After Photos! We still need to do dishes, tack up the wire over the sink and touch up a few things (not to mention declutter the fridge inside and out!), but it's so pretty that I just had to share! Isn't it amazing what color can do?

Got 2 clothing racks at Target.com. BEST CLOTHING RACK EVAR.

It's the 24th day of my 30 Day Challenge, and I spent a few hours Dealing with the futon space in my library/guest room. For months now it's been in "bed" mode, overflowing with pillows, blankets, throw pillows, and even more pillows. And the storage bin underneath was a black hole of the unknown. Today I took it all apart, Donated most of the pillows, a lot of the blankets, some pillowcases, and the three (yes, 3!!!) shower curtains hiding underneath. Then I put 2 winter blankets in a blanket bag, added 1 medium weight fleece to the box, and flipped the futon into couch mode. Topped with just a few pillows and a couple throw blankets, it no longer overpowers the entire room.

The boxes on the right, became the little stack on the left.
