Have lots of clutter? Start busting it with these 4 simple options:
- STORE IT, IN ITS HOME: Everything in your home or office should have a home--a consistent and appropriate place where that object is normally kept. Some items that you use every day, may be on display and/or readily available for frequent use. Other items, like holiday decorations or out of season clothing, can be stored in an out-of-the-way area until needed.
When an object strays from its 'home,' it can easily be misplaced, thus causing stress and frustration. Clutter build-up naturally occurs when items are not kept and/or returned to their homes.
- GIVE IT: When you have something that you never use, giving it to someone who will make use of it can really brighten your day. Give it to a friend. Pass it on to a relative. Or put it in a special 'Charity Box' and make a donation to a favorite organization once per month.
- SELL IT: Need a few extra bucks? Consider selling those things you don't use. Hold a rummage sale. Sell them to a consignment shop. Or, try an online auction or yard sale company, such as E-Bay, Robinsyardsales.com or Craigslist.com
- Trash It: Items that are outdated, faded, broken or otherwise unusable can often be dumped. If you don't want it, and you don't know anyone else who wants it, dump it today. You'll be freeing your space--and your mind!
Today I will be redoing my Master Closet utilizing the steps above. It was in horrible condition. It took me quite a while, but once i got started, I didn't leave, i even took my bottled water and phone in with me. Adicyn came in and wanted to help too! I completely removed every item, cleaned the baseboards and the wood floors so that I could start out fresh and new. I have so many items to donate to charity!
So on to my closet...
I love using all matching wooden hangers. i have always had a
thing about matching hangers. There is nothing worse than looking into a closet and seeing everything hung on cheap plaster hangers, at least have them match, if you must use plastic hangers. Hangers don't seem very important, but in fact, They are noticed more than one would normally think. Also the flooring and great lighting are very important in a closet.
Back to the hangers for a sec...Most important factor being price. Wooden hangers are only $10.00 for a box of 20, these I purchased several years back, 2005 to be exact at my local Target, and ever since...I fell in love with the solid design and nothing beats the uniform look~
