The change of seasons, getting ready for holiday guests, family dinners, and get-togethers with friends!  Tis the season for decluttering!  What?  Who has time for that?  You do!  Really!  It's not that bad if you do a little at a time, as you go.  Here are some tips to get you on your way to a clutter-free home:

 

•   The Coat Closet:  The cold weather has come and the coats, scarves, gloves, and hats are at the front of the closet!  But what is lurking in the back?  What has fallen on the floor?  Get those coats that don't fit, those hats that itch, those unwanted scarves outta here!  Take a good look at shoes and boots-do they still fit?  Are they still in good shape?  If not, place them all in a big plastic bag and take them out to your car to donate.  That's right-take them right out to the car.  When you need to hang up your guests' coats, you'll be glad you did!

•   Kitchen Cupboards:  As you entertain, pay attention to what you are NOT using!  Serving dishes and trays, glassware, the odd utensil you're not really sure what to do with-if they haven't been used this past year, out the door they go!  When the entertaining is done and it's time to put everything away, you'll have a much easier time of it! 

•   The Linen Closet:  If you have houseguests, they will probably see your linen closet!  Are you ready?  Gather the worn towels and blankets and donate them to a local animal shelter.  Often animals are brought into the shelters cold and wet and most just want something to lie on.  Your donation would bring some comfort. 

A little bit at a time, baby steps, will get you on your way!  You can do it!  I know you can!

 

Merry Christmas!

Is it really possible to declutter a home during the holidays?  There's shopping to be done, trees to be trimmed, decorations and lights to be hung, the list goes on and on.  How can someone even think about cleaning out a house with so much going on?  Well, I'll tell ya!  This is actually a great time of year to purge the stuff we no longer want!

 

Since it's unlikely we'll go through all the Christmas stuff any other time of year, take the time now to purge as you go.

 •   When you're decorating the tree, toss or donate the ornaments you no longer want.  Consider each one-is it sentimental, a memory, given to you from a loved one, beautiful, or precious to you in some way?  Then keep it!  Otherwise, toss or donate!

•   Same thing with decorations-have some of them lost their luster?  Have you changed your decorating theme?  Are there some you don't even use anymore?

•   The Unwanted Gifts:  Throughout the year you and your family may have been given gifts you had no need for or just didn't want.  Not wanting to waste them, they've been set aside possibly to re-gift.  Gather them all together and give them away.  Do it this Christmas, before the year is out!    

•   Ditch the stuff that's broken or in need of repair.  Just do it.  If you haven't fixed those lights, glued that figurine back together, or anything else that's on your to-do list, you probably won't and it's not worth the space it's taking up in your life.

After Christmas, when it's time to pack it all away again, you'll have less to deal with and it will be easier to organize.  Make sure your boxes are marked clearly and all is stored safely.  And be proud of yourself for getting it done!  You'll be bringing less clutter and more space into your New Year! 

I've had clients tell me they actually feel lighter, like a weight has been lifted off them after getting rid of stuff they didn't need or want.  And who doesn't need that after all those holiday goodies?

Now, some of you will think I've gone way over the edge.  But some of you will understand, I know you will.  I've taken to staging candy. 

Now let me explain... I umm... well, may be just a little, just a teensy bit of a... perfectionist.

Just a wee bit.

I noticed it when I was out shopping for my latest staging project.

When I stage, I make it a point to always have an entry table in the foyer.  Just a console table, nothing large, but just big enough for a lamp, the Realtor's flyers, a small dish for Realtor's business cards, and, well, a bowl of hard candy.

So I was shopping for the candy for the latest project and the discussion between my sister and I (she's my partner in craziness) went something like this:

Me:  "Ok, we need hard candy and it must be wrapped.  Unwrapped is too gross."

Lisa:  "Definitely, but what kind?"

Me:  "Well, there's this Country Time Lemonade candy that we used last time and it was good."

Lisa:  "Right."

Me:  "But this house just isn't lemonade, is it?"

Lisa:  "Not at all!  Lemonade is all wrong for this house!"

Me:  "But lemonade was so perfect for the last house."

Lisa:  "But not this one."

Me:  "I'm feeling it should be more... butterscotch..."

Lisa:  "Or caramel!" (said with great excitement)

Me:  "How about Werther's?"

Lisa:  "Perfect!  It should be Werther's!"

Me:  "OK, now we need to decide which kind of Werther's."

And that's about how it went.  I truly prefer to think of myself as "detail oriented" with a true "quest for quality."  (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!)

Really, I have fun matching candy to the house the same way I match the art, or the accent pillows, or the lighting.  And one time I got really lucky and had a listing on "Caramel Drive!"
