Freeing my home..

from clutter!

I've had enough of the clutter in our home, i have been fighting it off & on for an age now.. but i have decided to take a stronger stand ;-) which means..

public humiliation.

our house is a mess, and all because we broke the cardinal rule-
we have too much stuff!
and because we have too much stuff, most of the stuff doesn't have a place to live,
and thus we don't put the stuff away properly, even if it *does* have a home!
*sigh*

so my cunning plan is to completely humiliate myself by posting photos of our worst spots, and then attack them one by one & post progress pics!

and don't worry, i'm blogging whilst feeding the baby, thus not wasting precious decluttering time ;)

a recent success has been our kitchen & pantry!
we've cleared out all (i hope) of the unnecessary bits n bobs from our kitchen, and rebuilt the top shelves in the pantry to make them more functional.. we still have a few things to use up or give away, but then that is one whole room cleared! woohoo! :-D

now there is just 2 bedrooms, the 'study', lounge, bathroom, hallway cupboards, ceiling cavity, and the shed-of-certain-doom to go!

oh yeah, our house is approximately 80 square metres, and we've already got rid of approximately 15 big rubbish sacks of stuff to various recipients..

wish me luck! ;-)
