Welcome to the sixth week of my decluttering and
organizing of home spaces series.
The project´s summary:
9 months to streamline your
home spaces and systems
3 months for the practical
spaces: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room
3 months for the shared
areas: entry hall, living room, dining room
3 months for the personal
spaces: bedrooms, office, hobbies room
1 big task each week
illustrated with my own pictures and daily {gentle} reminders, tips and
cheering at my
Facebook page. Like it
to be able to receive them every day and record your progress with a friendly
crew!
Theme 1: the practical /
Month 2: the bathroom / Week 1: Towels and accessories
Day 1: towels. Get all
of them together: bath towels, hand towels, your Kindergartener´s, gym towels,
beach towels. Okeeeeey. Which ones needs replacing? Are you comfortable with
the laundry cycle for them? Need more? Budget for them. Are there too many? You
may throw away/recycle/donate some.
Day 2: towels, part 2. Check
for loose hems and appliqués. Also for holes and tears. Sew what is needed. How
will you store them? Is it easier if you keep them together? Is it easier if
you keep them in the rooms they are needed? What about some scent for them? I found this cute lavander sachets tutorial. You
could get a lavender sachet or make your own to place in between them.
Day 3: soap dishes and
dispensers. Check for cracks and leaks. Give them a good scrub.
Day 4: glass and toothbrush
holder. You know what to do. ;)
Day 5: decoration aka
pretty stuff. Are you still pleased with your colour palette/theme? It might be
time to change just a few details for a look freshen up. Check what my friend
Susan from the blog "Diseña tu vida" made for her downstairs toilette. I saw them while she was half way of the process and they were really cool so I asked her for permission to share the final result.
Day 6: lists day. This is my bathroom TODAY. I have some lists to make to get it back to its former glory. ;)
Day 7: your day off. Enjoy!

Decluttering seems so hard for me. I guess I need to just take it 15 minutes at a time and try to think of that as brainstorming for my writing. Thanks for sharing your plan and results.
I like the simple tasks you have provided that can be taken each day. Small steps that result in less clutter. My favorite!
I love how you broke down the tasks into manageable bite sizes. I think that is really the best antidote to overwhelm. Thanks for a reminder how easy it is to finish a big project when you break it down into small steps.
