Purged? Now what?!

February 21, 2016 by Jessica Leave a Comment

OK – so you have taken the first step in organizing and started to purge things that you are not using. You now have piles throughout the room, and you are thinking oh no, NOW WHAT?
You don’t want to just throw everything out, huh?

Let me help! There are SO many ways to repurpose unwanted items in your home without just having to throw them in the trash! Ever think, “I paid good money for that!” and either never used it or have no use for it in your space? Well keep reading for some ideas to repurpose those items!

        1. Recycle. Sometimes we get overwhelmed when we see these piles of things to get rid of and just have the urge to throw everything out because we don’t know what else to do! When you are purging throughout your house take a minute with each item to determine if it is garbage or recyclable.
          Examples: old receipts, vases, batteries, electronics, phone books etc.

 

        1. Sell! Many people think selling unwanted items in your home are too time consuming or very difficult and involves a lot of research. But this is not true! You can sell pretty much anything, its just what you are selling – and the best place to sell that item. PLUS its an easy way to make money $$$. Craigslist and local Facebook selling pages (“online yard sales,” or of course, you could have an actual yard sale) are just a few examples of places you can  sell pretty much anything!
          Examples: clothing, appliances, furniture, books, electronics, sports equipment

 

        1. Donate. There are thousands of places to donate your unwanted items, and almost ANYTHING can be donated to people in need. One of the easiest – clothes! We all have too many, and people are anyways in need of clothes. Donating is not only an easy way to clear clutter, but a feel good way too.

 

      1. Repurpose. Ever hear the term “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure?” This is very true! For example in my house, we have a lot of recyclable items from food and drink containers that many people see as garbage, and I see as potential! Many of these containers just need the label removed and then get creative! Maybe wrap an old coffee can in wrapping paper, or spray paint it a light color. Its free storage!
        Examples: coffee can, salsa jars (mason), shoe boxes, paper towel rolls

Still think I am crazy? Here is an example of each;
Folgers Coffee Container Craft. Upcycle for the kitchen!:        DIY Rustic Mason Jars with great how-to's. Love the bathroom storage idea :):
Marker Caddy - I can do this! Now if I can just keep the cats from getting the markers out...: good storage idea for all those wires lying around. put the toilet rolls on a shoe box and pack away:

 

 

If you are feeling crafty, you can find thousands of ideas on Pinterest!

 

 

 

 

 

There will be a HUGE list full of places to donate, sell and recycle all sorts of items COMING SOON on my website. I am in the process of compiling THE BEST places, so stay tuned! And of course if you need to find out more information about specific items- just ask! I can find a place to donate just about anything, right in your area!

We hear that your basements are some of the bigges We hear that your basements are some of the biggest pain point in your home…..

The secret? IT TAKES TIME AND EFFORT! Sorry friends, we can’t sugar coat it. But we are here to help!

When it comes to basement organizing we know it’s years of delayed decisions, keepsakes and inheritances, and holiday items you (might) only use once a year. 

You may find it daunting but we LOVE to go through every bin, box and tote to sort and categorize each item you have! We promise our systems make it SIMPLE for you to make decisions on what stays and what goes and that’s the hardest part! You can then leave it to us to create you a function, tidy space without you having to even lift a finger. 

We will help you to determine what you love, use and want to keep what REALLY is worth saving and taking up space in your home. 

If you’re overwhelmed by your basement or storage space, we would love nothing more than to help create a space you our proud of!

Can you see the difference (SWIPE 👉🏻)? Ther Can you see the difference (SWIPE 👉🏻)?

There was no purging done in this closet, just re-homing of items that did not belong in this craft closet!

Before: items were not easily found, mismatching bins causes visual clutter, multiple categories being housed in one space. 

AFTER: everything can be seen at a glance, matching bins, visually pleasing on the eye, labels are clear and concise. 

These are the things that bring organization to life! Do you have a craft closet that looks more like the before? Send us your space and let us walk you through how to get your craft space from disarray to organized!
