So when January comes around I always feel the need to get organised.
Pinterest often provides me with inspiration, looking at all the organisaiton tips and pictures of fabulous organised homes. Last year I set myself a target of getting some aspects of our home sorted and one of the big items I wanted to do was sort all my Christmas wrap, cards, birthday cards, wrapping paper, boxes and stationery supplies.
So I took inspiration from Pinterest and set up my own wrapping station – very american I know but its fantastic and what a pleasure it was to do all the Christmas present wrapping this year.
So this year I have set myself a goal of sorting 2 aspects of our home each month.
January
- My Wardrobe – I actually do this every season so this is a good one to get me strarted.
- Make Up Drawer – As much as I love keeping an eye out for new products and testing them I do have a hard time in either throwing them away, passing them on to someone else or donating. This will be a wonderful achievement.
I did it! My wardrobe is done. I sorted, purged, donated, cleaned, foldedand generally give everything a good tidy (I do love a bit of colour coded organisation).
That’s one off the list.
Why dont you join me and get sorted in 2018?
If you need some more inspiration I can highly recommend a wonderful book called ‘The Complete Book of Home Organization’ by Toni Hammersley.
Toni has a blog called ‘A Bowl Full of Lemons’ which I love. Its full of great useful tips, lots of printables and its full of encouragement to tackle those sorting tasks. Check it out, you will want to subscribe just after one read!
The book is an extension of the blog and website. Its filled with beautiful images and lots of handy tips from small projects to bigger tasks its a great read and I have found it so useful to dip in and out of through the year.
I am feeling very accomplished, next task is my make up drawer, so I will keep you all posted on how it get on.
Leave me a comment on what you hope to start with, how you are getting on and of course some before and after photos would be great.
