Practical Ways to Improve Your Home, Life, & Budget
In the past year, we went through major decluttering projects in our home, including a very messy garage, a bedroom closet, and a books & games walk-in closet. We found it helpful to review other people’s “before and after” images to get some inspiration for our own projects, so I’m sharing here our own images […]
By guest writer Jason Bacos Are you fed up with the mess and clutter in your garage? You are not the only one, most people have an enormous mess in their garage! A 2019 survey by NAPO (National Association of Productivity & Organization) found that 43.7% of people found the garage to be the most […]
The bedroom is the first place that I recommend decluttering, because I believe it will have the biggest impact on how you live and how you feel. After all, it is the first place you see when you get up in the morning, and it’s typically the place where most people get dressed and prepare […]
How discouraging is it to spend time carefully organizing an area of your home so that is looks nice and functions better, only to look back at it in a month or less and see it looking like a disaster zone again? Ugh. The worst. Why can’t we just organize things once and have them […]
By being more mindful and glancing around to see what can be picked up throughout the day, your house will feel so much better and cleaning up won’t be as overwhelming.
In our first apartment, our “bedroom” was essentially the hallway to the bathroom. It was only big enough to put our mattress on the floor. That’s literally all that fit! We couldn’t fit a couch up the stairs, so we made a makeshift couch out of twin mattresses. There was also a neighbor who was […]
Imagine my joy at finally having a proper kitchen pantry when we bought our current house! Our pervious two houses were severely lacking in the food storage department. It was all going great at first. When we moved across the country from Michigan to Colorado, we came with no food at all so we were […]
I’ve kept my love of spices and seasonings a secret from you for a long time. I can’t help it. It’s hereditary. My mom has a pretty epic spice collection in her kitchen. And they’re alphabetized. Whenever either of us moves, we ask each other where are you going to keep your spices? Well, the […]
When we moved from Michigan to Colorado last year, we got rid of so much stuff. Like, probably 80% of our stuff got sold or donated. So when we bought a house here, it looked shockingly sparse. Seriously, this house echoed it was so empty. We’ve been taking our time finding furniture and decor that […]
We all need to do some solid decluttering here and there, but the difference between people living in a decluttering disaster and the people with a seemingly always clutter-free home? Clutter free habits. They don’t just declutter once a year and wait for things to pile up before they do it again. They have habits […]
