“We used to let the stores store things.” Yes. Yes. YES!!! Why is everyone running little mini-markets inside their cupboards and pantries?

I love Dana’s container concept too and it’s one of the top ideas I use with my own clients as a newer organizer. And I’m with you on the rainbow effect 🙄.

I do have empty shelves at the top of all of my to-the-ceiling kitchen cabinets and pantry but it’s also just me in the home now and I did declutter when I recently downsized to a one-bedroom.

But my bedroom and closet are doing double duty until I make some additional biz decisions - I’m also a home stager who does occupied home consultations and light accessorizing for photos so the entire underside of my queen bed is filled with bags of throw pillows and a quarter of my closet stores art and accessories for staging. So my clothes are overfilling the remaining hanging space - I definitely could purge there. Most of my hanging clothes are from when I was teaching and had a different side business. Now that I spend most of my time decluttering and moving clients’ old boxes out of dusty basements, I don’t exactly have much need for all of the silk shirts, tailored dresses and heels! But sometimes I’m not very good at taking my own advice 🙂.
