Get Rid of the Big Stuff First
Give a Little
Isn't it amazing how a clear space can make you feel so calm and in control.
ReplyDeleteHello! I found your blog a month or so ago and have been reading it almost daily since. So much of what you say makes sense to me and I love your photos. You've inspired me in two ways. I have started my own blog and have resolved to post daily in January. And I have started to declutter! During the lull between Christmas and New Year I filled five bags full of clothes and toys and took them to the Barnardo's shop. Feel so much better. Kitchen is next - pasta machine is lurking on top shelf.
ReplyDeleteHi Eleanor. Thanks for commenting and congratulations on your blog - I love outfit posts xo
DeleteExcited for this - thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks so wonderful and the idea of tackling one room at a time is very helpful. Looking forward to the series.
ReplyDeleteEmpty rooms are stark, unwelcoming and ugly. Lived in rooms have things and look friendly and inviting. Too many things = clutter but nothing = miserable, de-personalised and sad. Most people have some meaningful things that personalise their spaces and make them cosy and unique to them. I like that best. If I had to choose though, definitely clutter over empty.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you say about empty rooms and that some meaningful things add warmth and cosiness. I truly believe there is a way to live without clutter but in a warm, inviting and cosy environment. It's finding the balance that is tricky. I am working to make my home calm but with personality - I'm getting there slowly :}
DeleteOoh I look forward to following your journey from room to room! I too decided during the festive break that I would start doing more posts on particular issues around decluttering etc. So pleased to have made your blogger acquaintance, let's cheer each other on. :)
ReplyDeleteI am all ears. My kitchen is also holding all my books at the moment, which sounds a bit strange, but I'm not sure where to put them! I will be following this, Heather x
