Today I'm sharing an easy storage solution for the kitchen. I try to do a good kitchen clean-out and purge once a quarter - this involves removing everything from a drawer/cupboard, giving it a good wipe-down, finding new storage ideas if necessary, re-organising, and seeing if there's anything I can get rid of before I put everything back in. I find that kitchens can really accumulate a lot of 'stuff', so I like to do this on a fairly regular basis to minimize the clutter.
Hands up if you have an overflowing stationery or junk drawer somewhere in your house? No doubt it is full of those bits and pieces you need close at hand, such as scissors, sticky-tape, textas, rubber-bands.... the essentials! To me, there is no point having these items stored away in a home office or randomly scattered throughout the house - they need to all be in one place and easily accessible. Ideally you might have a drawer in the kitchen, but if your kitchen space is limited, free-standing drawers are another good solution.
How do you organise your shoe collection? Do you use racks or boxes or hanging dividers? Or are they just randomly strewn at the bottom of your wardrobe? Maybe a combination of the two! There are heaps of great shoe organising solutions out there, and today I'm sharing some storage options that we use to organise our shoe collection inside our wardrobe.
As the weather finally begins to warm up, we are keen to spend more time outdoors and start using our deck more often. However, as I shared on Monday's post when I was restoring our blackboard, our deck was in major need of some cleaning up. When Summer approaches, the exterior often needs as much work as the interior. Here's how we restored our deck so it was Summer-ready!
If you've ever done a big declutter of your personal items, you would probably be able to relate to the fact that it can be very difficult to decide what keepsakes to hold onto, and what to throw out. Although I consider myself pretty ruthless at getting rid of clutter, I definitely like to hold onto things with emotional value. Today I'm showing you how we store these precious items.
