Breathing Space Consulting

So you've gone through your books and given away the ones you don't want. Now what to do with the books you want to keep, but don't want to display? Storing is a great solution. When storing your books, we suggest the following: Ensure the books are stored in a protective container.... Lay the books flat to protect the integrity of the book’s spines. Keep the number of books to a miminum per box, so the box is easy to lift. Make space for what matters most.

This space is amazing! We love it! We also realize that not everyone has such a glam space for storing their small appliances. If you have the space great! But, still take the time to consider whether you actually use all of your small appliances. Remember you do not need to fill all your space! Small appliances like Waffle makers, Rice cookers and Ice cream makers... etc....could you live without them?... If you are not sure whether to purchase one....do a trial run. Borrow from a friend and count how many times you use it. If you use it lots, then it deserves to be bought. If not, then save your space and money for something else. If you own many small appliances, now is a good time to review and edit. Offer it to a friend , donate or recycle it. Make space for what matters most. Pinterest

Happy New Year from Breathing Space Consulting Benefits of an organized home: More space... Less stress Less clutter Reduce expenses on what you don't need. Find everything you need within minutes. More time for yourself, friends and family. Make space for what matters most.

Give yourself deadlines for repairs and alterations. Clothes waiting to be repaired or altered can be a source of clutter in your closet. It’s easy to keep clothes around that need repairs or alterations, but much harder to actually complete the task. The clothes sit, sit and sit ....waiting to be fixed....and are never worn! ... Give yourself DEADLINES to get the repairs/ alterations done. If you haven’t got the repairs or alterations done by the deadline, it is time to say 'bye bye' to those items. We suggest having a bag or box near your front door. This bag or box can be lableled "stuff for alternations" or " repairs." Make space for what matters most Pinterest

Don't you just love those 10 seconds when all the laundry is done! As much as we all dread the never ending laundry....it can actually help us declutter. How you ask? ... Before you put your clean laundry back into your closet, take a minute to notice the items in your closet you didn’t wear. If you notice the same items sitting unworn week after week, we suggest it is time to consider donating them. Another way to use laundry day to help declutter your clothes is to see how long you can go before doing your laundry. This forces you to wear some of the clothes you usually pass over in favour of your favourite, go-to items. This is a time to pick each piece of clothing and inspect for holes and stains. If they can't be fixed or cleaned - time to recycle. Make space for what matters most
