]]> One of the great perks of visiting so many homes is the pets we meet along the way. We are big believers in the idea that our pets make us better people – they teach us kindness, empathy, forgiveness, sensitivity and in the case of Riley (with three legs), they teach us to get over it and move on –

Riley – quicker on three legs than most cats on four
Beau – exceptionally handsome
Sydney – needed a new home – we organized that too
Tango – holds a special place in my heart – he jumped in the car to come with – I think he loves me too
Zoey – up to her elbows in the organizing process – we were happy to have the help

]]> Front door https://placeeverything.com/front-door/ Tue, 14 Jan 2020 02:18:04 +0000 https://placeeverything.com/?p=2903 Your front door is the first impression of you home. Whether you are selling or inviting guests in. Ensure the surrounding area is clean and free of dust and debris.

To freshen things up add a new door mat; not too big or too small, and a fresh seasonal planter.

]]> I am amazed at how many people store things for other people. This may be a very kind gesture for a short time, but make sure there is an end date. Their clutter is having an impact on your home and your life, no matter how big or small the pile. Give them their stuff back and let them take responsibility for their own things.

]]> Covered Baskets https://placeeverything.com/covered-baskets-2/ Fri, 04 Jan 2019 18:23:31 +0000 http://placeeverything.flywheelsites.com/?p=2747 A great way to disguise the hard to tidy items, easily accessible items like car keys, note pads, pens etc.

Or just trust that you will find exactly what you need when you need it. Guess which one gives you more freedom of daily living and less stress? Which do you choose?

]]> Three Things https://placeeverything.com/three-things-2/ Thu, 01 Nov 2018 23:13:30 +0000 http://placeeverything.flywheelsites.com/?p=2696 Continue reading "Three Things"

]]> Think of three things you would like to do in your home that you don’t due to too much stuff. For example: entertain, welcome spontaneous guests, a project or hobby that requires a lot of space, paint a room or two, host a specific celebration, or create a quiet oasis. Clearing your space with the end purpose in mind is a great motivator. Once you have completed creating the space in your home to support the thing you would love to be doing in it, you will gain momentum to focus on the next two things on the list. To your clutter free life!

Using shades of the same colour will keep continuity in the space and add some interest.
