Operation Declutter

Project 1: Bathroom

Before - BAD


Interim - better but not good enough


Solution - Courtesy of Officeworks


Now




Project 2: Shoes

Before - DISASTER!



Solution - these beauties from Bunnings


Now


Next task will be to take a photo of every pair of shoes and stick them on each box.


Also tidied up our casual shoes rack


Two large bags of old shoes for charity


Bye bye shoe boxes!


It feels so good to be organised and know where my things belong :-D

P.S. I did a bit of decluttering of the blog too - do you like the new look?

Added 1 August: For those interested in the clear shoe boxes, here's a photo of the packaging. From my recollection they were $15 per pack.

  1. I really need to do something like this with my bathroom! I have no space left foe anything! Since I don't study anymore, I figure I can transform my desk into a little "beauty station" and move the majority off my stuff over there.

    I also want to say I love the fact that you have a shopping trolley in your house.

  3. LOVE the clear bunnings shoes boxes, do you mind letting me know how much they were and if they came in packs or otherwise? It's just a medium sort of plastic right?
    Good work, loving the cleansing process - did something similar 2 weeks ago for my room, although planning to move out within next few months so it was just for a short-term sigh of relief ;)

  7. I did something similar last year and it is so much less stressul when you have less clutter! I am so determined to maintain it that when I buy something new, I make myself throw out an old piece so I don't get all cluttered up again :)

  9. Thanks everyone, I'm pleasantly surprised to get so many responses.

    @Helen and @aelie I updated the blog with a photo of the shoe boxes packaging.

    And that is not my trolley! We live in an apartment block and the trolleys were at the garage when we moved in! Handy for bringing the groceries upstairs, and apparently for moving shoeboxes!
