Re: Declutter Strategy Meeting, October 2017
I have a space could use a skinny cabinet in a bathroom we don't use much. I always thought if I started using it more I'd need a cabinet next to the pedestal sink. Started looking at images on the net, yikes there are all sorts and sizes and all prices!

I was surprised how quickly I was able to declutter and dust off a shelf in the sewing storage zone today. I have some things in a staging spot to go upstairs and out into the rig for donation.

Nancy, you have been a whirlwind lately! Congrats on getting things done.
I dropped off 2 humongous picture frames to thrift shop. Have kept the pictures that were in them. Re-framed one in a smaller frame that I already had and the other picture is leaning on the mantel--I like it better without a frame.
Our basement is about to be emptied as DD is coming to move her belongings out of there. So happy for her to be reunited with her things!

How you do your work is a portrait of yourself.

Grange trading post got home made sketch book, & sm. Art easil, and free directors chair plus a pumpkin shaped container with a dish cloth in it, and beads. Yea for these successes.

Ya'll are doing so much.
Smaller bathroom cabinets - ours has been a win-win. HRH just loves it. He says it changed the whole look. And it's practical for rolls of tissue and also cleaning wipes. A plant on it gives a fresh look.
Moving some furniture around meant going through some extra organization here. We bought some new plastic (rubber?) storage boxes, too. Because HRH wanted to move a filing cabinet, there's a lot of paper taming that's going on.
I am thinking of making some more of my own wrapping-paper-covered storage boxes again for places I would want them to look more decorative, or blend in on furniture like bookcases. I am still very pleased with the one I covered in a dark wrapping paper with a repeating pattern and glued a part from a broken trophy on the upper front to look like a clasp. It's in our bedroom and looks as decorative as anything I could have bought. I know it's not long-lasting, but it cost next to nothing and I got to pick what it looked like instead of taking whatever a store had.
