Get ready - get set - go! Spring is in the air and that means it's time for some good old spring cleaning. For the next several weeks I'll be focusing on getting organized and DE-CLUTTERING your home and your life.
So...off with a bang! Let's address the kitchen cabinets and those catch-all household closets. Hooks and cork boards make a wonderful way to hide measuring spoons, to-do lists, grocery lists, coupons and much more. Hang cork boards or sheets of cork (using double sided tape) on the interior side of your cabinets. Pin up a grocery list so you can make notations while you are in the kitchen. When you use the last drop of ketchup or tear off the last paper towel...write it down! Tack up your weekly recipes and take out menus as well. Hang a calendar full of appointments for a quick reference guide.
The biggest obstacle when attempting to sell an occupied home is de-cluttering. Get a jump start on it and begin now! This weekend, while working with a young couple interested in buying their next home, the wife made a comment in one house that "it's hard to even visualize my things in this house because it is so cluttered!" So take it from me, the queen of "tuck and hide" just get organized and spend less time looking for those items that you "just saw the other day!"
