Very messy before shot of my home office I let it go way to long before cleaning, including typical paper clutter, as well as toys on the floor as well as other junk that didn't belong in the office in the first place.

And this is where it gets hard. I know Goodwill isn't going to do anything with these, and the only place to put them is in the trash. But it is really hard to throw things like this away, even though they've been collecting dust for years.
While trying to declutter my apartment this summer, I discovered a bunch of videotapes stored in some drawers in my living room. Wow, I've watched a lot of TV over the years, but going through these so far has only confirmed for me that I have pretty good taste and still love everything now that I loved back then.
I got "Fields of Gold" in my head for this illustration after a weekend full of watching and listening to my immense stash of Sting performances. Tyrone blends into this warm scenery perfectly, but he will neither confirm nor deny whether it's really Sting's backyard.
Here's the song if you need a reminder or, like me, you don't mind hearing it one more time: youtu.be/PeKE2Z-9HVM.

My advice for organizing cheaply: Don't buy any more storage! If I feel the need to buy a new storage box, instead I declutter a box I already have. I like using shoe boxes and gift boxes for storage because I can change them or get rid of them without wasting any money. I reorganized this entire closet without spending a dime.
here's my plan, skim a bunch of the literary theory, blog it so I remember what it was and what I've read in case I want it again, then get rid of a lot of it.
Revisiting one of the locations I scouted last night. One of the oddities of so regularly shooting in this style is that a lot of the clothes and such that are in the shots actually don't show up. The coat that Victoria is wearing in this is, frankly, awesome. Still, gotta love the end result.

The book on the Kindle is "Earth," by David Brin. I had a paper copy, but used my book declutter rule on it: If this is a book I'd reread, then I should buy an electronic copy and reward the author, otherwise, why keep a book I won't reread?
Day 15. FlyLady says: "Make your bed".
Well. I'm not going to fool myself here. Making my bed is not going to be a part of my morning routine in the near future. Right now it's not on my Top 20 of daily priorities and on most days I would skip it anyway, so I'm leaving it for now. I will, however, focus on it later, after I have made some other changes.
So instead of making my bed I decided to declutter one of our few kitchen cabinets. This one is above our kitchen countertop and really needed to be reorganized.
I was going to take before-after shots of every three shelves, but after the first shelf I got so excited I forgot! I started from the bottom and in the end I removed all that medicine stuff. They're now on the top shelf as in the main photo.
I didn't plan on doing this when I woke up today, but I just decided that I couldn't go another day with this tangled mess inside my electronics drawer. So I dumped out all the contents and sat on the floor untangling and organizing this pile. Some stuff was already in ziplock baggies but not enough. Now almost everything has it's own ziplock baggy so they can never get tangled together again. Actually, almost all of this will eventually be discarded. I discovered I own 7 headphones and 13 mice!
This is the door to the livingroom. The pictures in this space were painted watercolors by my mom.
Lots of pictures (including close ups of the water colors my mom did) on the blog.

I have just had my first foray into the world of eBay. As part of my Project Declutter, we're getting rid of a few things, including some outgrown toys. I had fun setting up Kalu's knights for a last foray. I am particularly fond of the dragons!

this was a shot taken handheld with no flash merely just to show what a nightmare i came across.
Unbelieveably this was after i had told the owner to declutter!
Needless to say, i don't get paid enough to sort this one out.

Vintage Chinese brass opium pipe. Years ago I owned a heavier, sturdier Chinese brass opium pipe but I foolishly sold it when trying to declutter my belongings. It must have been used years ago but it was so clean that no residue was left. One local antique dealer told me that he is able to legally sell a variety of old ganga or opium pipes, but only if there is no residue or scent from their previous use. This came to me through international mail. CBSA had opened the parcel to confirm that there were no drugs. I’m going to eventually sell this unused pipe as I have no use for it.

You may not want to think about it, but bringing back bed bugs from your holiday travels could ruin an otherwise festive holiday season. Yes, I know, one more thing to do during this hectic time of year, but bed bugs in your home can be expensive and wear on your mind and body so deal with it now to keep your sanity later.
Plan on staying at a hotel or other commercial lodging? Keep luggage off the floor and if there is not a raised luggage rack, set your suitcase in the bathtub to keep it off carpeted areas. Before going to sleep, do a quick check along the bed seams for any signs of bed bugs themselves or their droppings or shed skin. Consider traveling with the extra large zip-close storage bags for storing your dirty laundy in your luggage. Wash soiled clothing soon after arriving home or if you will not be able to take care of this immediately, leave the luggage in the garage until you can get to it. If you have clothing that was not worn/clean, you can place in the dryer for 15 minutes on high. The heat will take care of any pests that might have hitched a ride home. Carefully inspect all other items your brought back from traveling before putting them away in your home.
Once you are home, here are some tips for discouraging bed bug infestations.
Do:
Declutter your home as much as possible
Protect your bed mattress and box spring with mattress encasement specific for bed bugs
Vacuum often
check all cracks and crevices around the rooms: mattress and box spring seams, baseboards, furniture and any other areas around the room where bugs can hide.
Wash clothing and linens in hot water and dry on a high setting.
Don’t:
store clothes, shoes and other items under beds unless enclosed in sealed storage bins
forget to check your purse and backpack as well after traveling
bring in second hand items with thoroughly inspecting and cleaning them
assume bed bugs are only in beds
assume one treatment will clear up all bed bug issues. Beg bugs may have been in your home a while and it is not uncommon for it to take more than one visit to find all areas they may be hiding and eliminate them.
Bed bugs are active mainly at night. They feed on exposed bare skin while you are sleeping. Most bed bug bites are relatively painless however one way to tell if they are bed bugs, is they will leave a linear trail of bites. This is due to the fact they do not jump or fly but crawl. You may or may not wake up with itchy welts on your skin and sometimes no marks at all but you will probably see the rusty or reddish spotting or staining they leave behind after feeding overnight.
Most people don’t know bed bugs can live for several months without a blood meal. Bed bugs can travel from mattresses to furniture to other areas around your home. Bed bugs can hide in furniture for a long time until they are near a human host again. This is why it is important to not just treat the mattress but the room as well. If you are removing and replacing the mattress entirely, be sure to encase the mattress before dragging it through the home to take it outside. This is to avoid bed bugs from scattering and infiltrating other areas of your home along the way.
In your mattress, you may see droppings, shed skin or the bed bugs themselves but remember, bed bugs can infest furniture with small dark crevices as well. If you are unsure of what pest you may have, you can save one of the pests you find using clear packing tape attached to an index card for easier identification by your pest control professional.
Remember, no need to throw everything out. Early identification and professional bed bug treatment can save the added cost of replacing beds or furniture.
If you think you may have a bed bug issue, call or contact Bio-Tech Pest Control at 281-296-6022.

I am desperately trying to declutter and tidy our house. Was having a go at the bathroom today and found this, so sent a picture to our family WhatsApp group to see if anyone used it or not so I could dispose of it. Both girls said no and then Lola said she thought that Dad might - he is bald, helpful. I am trying to get rid/recycle/charity bag at least one thing per day.
MIL is coming for five days. We have a tiny house, which means when company comes, I give my study up as a guest room (and I can't really complain about that b/c I am fortunate to even have a room of my own - dh uses part of our master bedroom as his study). My study has been in transition for about three months now, as I'm slowly redoing it. It is not done yet, and I've been living in chaos and mass disorganization (worse than usual) for awhile now. But I couldn't have it like that for MIL. So in addition to cleaning the house, planning menus, buying groceries, and just generally stressing about her visit, I attempted a major organizing and cleaning of my study (which is also my craft space).
I have learned the following:
1 - I have a lot of great projects either on the needles are ready for the needles that are going to be so awesome if I ever get to them.
2 - Judging from the amount of these projects, I'm guessing this will happen around 2011 at the earliest.
3 - I have a ridiculous amount of fabric for someone who currently sews almost none. Half of the fabric I'm not wild about, the other half I am mad for.
4 - Throwing things I don't know what to do with into my closet is a temporary solution at best.
5 - Moving all of that stuff from the closet into a big box that's now on my bedroom floor is probably only a temporary solution as well.
6 - It's possible my number one organization problem is indecision. I can't decide what to do with something, so I end up not dealing with it effectively or at all.
7 - for someone so disorganized and lazy, I can do a pretty bang-up job of cleaning up - once the pressure's really on
View of the art science building in singapore. Taken with a sigma 10-20 3.5. Little bit of editing was required to declutter the foreground.
This is the main Workstation. It is an Ikea L shaped table. The plastic storage drawers are under the table.
At the far right corner, I have piled up the wire racks that can be hooked to any shelf.

Raisin bread, Nutella, and banana....yummy!
I did a little work on my 365 Declutter Challenge. I have some items in the donation box, and I organized a spot for the K-cups in the pantry.
