One way of handling memorabilia clutter for kids in particular is to set up 1 box with drop files for each school year. Anything too big you could take a photo or frame. You could take photos of all your kids artwork and put all on one poster and hang it in your hallway or photo wall. There are lots of ways and creative ideas to manage memorabilia. Have a look at these photos below for inspiration. You can also contact me for obligation free advice on how to manage your memorabilia! 🥰

So I'm a little bit excited to watch the new show 'Space Invaders' on channel 9 starting this Saturday night. Professional Organiser Peter Walsh will be helping everyday Aussies declutter their overwhelmed spaces. Will it inspire you to free your space?

If you're drowning in mess, this is the show for you.

🧺 FREE YOUR LINEN CUPBOARD SPACE 🧺
I recently helped a client sort through their linen cupboard (she did most of the work and got stuck in whilst I helped her teenage son declutter and reorganise his bedroom). It can feel overwhelming at first but if you start with one category ie sheets, then towels etc it makes it a lot easier to get through everything. This took a few hours to get through not including dropping off to charities like animal shelters.
TIPS - Use the pillow case to store the sheet set together or you can use baskets or shelf dividers to separate everything. Always try to keep some free space on each shelf for easy access and to add more things IF you must...

If you’re lacking space in your closet or wardrobe then it might be time to see what you can let go of- like things you haven’t worn in years or don’t fit or just aren’t trendy anymore.
It might seem overwhelming at first but once you get started you can’t stop! This client was fretting doing this although she knew she needed to as she couldn’t walk in to her ‘walk in’!
We got through this in 4 hours and was just left with some t shirts for her to go through on her own. Over 100 hangers were released after this excercise and charities got some great shoes, bags, scarves and clothes! CHECK OUT THE BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS BELOW 👍

🧸FREE YOUR GRAND/KIDS TOY STORAGE SPACE🧸
Things that make you go - AAAAARGHHH!!!!!!!
Yes it’s a tiny space under the stairs to fit a lot of bulky toys and books and dolls and all the accessories that go with it but with a bit of a cull, re organising of the existing shelves and a couple of hooks to hang thinks like bouncinets and toy prams on the wall we can make it work and allow the grandkids, in this case, to walk in and find what they need and put back. This only took a couple of hours plus some time cleaning the toys. TAKE A LOOK AT THE BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS ✅

🧰 ⚒️ FREE YOUR GARAGE SPACE ⚒️ 🧰
Garages are huge and easily end up a dumping ground for a lot of things- sports stuff, gardening items, Christmas decorations, kids stuff, paint etc etc etc. Keeping it organised can be tricky because many items are huge and heavy or dangerous or poisonous and require much thought and planning when storing to ensure your families health, safety and sanity! Store heavy items on shelves waist height or below, poisonous items like sprays and fertilizer head height or above or in a locker so littlies can’t reach, and tools and sharp items stored high up or locked away. What do you think of this before and after I just did?

Ahhhh Christmas decorations 🎄 - love ‘em or hate ‘em most of us choose to have ‘em. That one time a year we untangle lights, coloured beads or tinsel, unwrap precious ornaments and baubles hoping they haven’t broken, then take it all down and shove it all away for another year.
If you’re looking for some ideas on how to store things like wrapping paper, beads/tinsel, lights and baubles/ornaments, to keep them safe and untangled here are some suggestions in photos below. In keeping my ♻️ hat on- keep some egg cartons and strips of cardboard (cereal box)or cardboard tubes, plastic bottles to achieve this. Otherwise there are some cheap options to buy -examples below also.

This is a very accurate and realistic portrayal of what a Professional Organiser does for the everyday client in comparison to Marie Kondo and The Home Edit if you’ve watched their Netflix series. It’s not all rainbows, plastic containers, and millions of clothes on your bed ready to be joy sparked. Read on...

I was listening to an episode of Bluey my son was watching and my ears pricked up at “one basket for keeping and one for chucking”. The episode is called ‘Mr Monkeyjocks’ and it’s about letting go of toys. Given Xmas is around the corner it might be a good episode for you and the kids to watch to help free your kids space before the avalanche of presents arrive in a few weeks. Good luck!!
