Today’s Clutter Free Challenge is the Master Closet. Our Master Closet will take more than the 30-60 minute allotted time frame to declutter! Our closet was a storage room and was turned into a huge walk-in closet. Well, our bedroom is small and so some things just ended up being pushed into the closet. Our closet serves as a place to hide Christmas presents, the place to just put something that doesn’t have a “home”. . . . . we…

31 Days to Clutter Free Challenge:: Day 9–Dining Room
October 9, 2014Besides the Entry Way in my home, the next place we tend to just place things is the Dining Room. Our Dining Room is right off of our Entry Way and it’s just the next feasible place to place items. Although this is a feasible place to put items, it’s not where they belong and it just becomes a cluttered mess {as you can see in my picture below}. We’d been looking at renovating our dining room and we found…
31 Days to Clutter Free Challenge:: Day 8–Junk Drawer
October 8, 2014Do you have a “junk drawer” in your home? I know the purpose of a junk drawer is to kind of catch little necessary items that you do not have a “home”; however, if there are too many unnecessary items in your junk drawer, it becomes a little too “junky”.

31 Days to Clutter Free Challenge:: Day 4–Living Room
October 4, 2014Today’s Clutter Free Challenge is to declutter the living room. I was inspired to take on this challenge so that I can make room for new furniture like these cowhide footstools from Finlows. This is probably an area of your home that your family spends the most time in together; therefore, it probably has the most “stuff” in it and probably seems like a daunting task. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Remember, we have rules to go by when decluttering…
