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.

My towels and washclothes. I left the basket of vitamins and the tuperware of our less used jewery in there. Then I got rid of all towels that didn't match, that had big holes or stains, and that just generally didn't work. I left only 6 towels in great condition (one needed a small repair to a hem) and that all matched. I left all the white washclothes (we use about 4 a day), and three hand towels (which are mostly for show in the bathroom).

I am pretty sure I look even dumpier than normal in these jeans but they are comfortable. What's a girl to do?

Happy young woman sorting wardrobe indoors at home, charity donation concept.

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.

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?

This Precious Moments colouring book... I've had it since before I was even a teenager yet. Though I didn't colour in it anymore, I managed to keep it and it survived a lot of moves. Now that I've been into colouring again and also trying to declutter a lot in my life, I decided to finally finish the book! It's very nostalgic to colour in it! I'm putting the coloured sheets up on my whiteboard to display for a while and then it'll be gone after. But I thought this was a better way to enjoy the childhood memory than to just store it for years!

 

For this sheet, I used Rowan's childhood vegan crayons from Melissa & Doug. But after this one I switched to pencil crayons as I like them a lot more.

this is what i've been doing for the past week.

blogged here.

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!

So many reasons to declutter and also become discouraged but the guest room that I had set up for my stuff to sell has now become a place of refuge for our daughter who is returning home Monday! So I've got a lot to move around and make room for her stuff. I also have a lot more stuff in the doll room that needs to be put away and sell!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Picked up a couple lamps from IKEA. I'm finally startin' to slowly declutter this office. Picked up a Logitech VX Nano mouse as well.

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

Counter, wish I could figure out how to declutter more but everything seems so NECESSARY

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.
