52 Weeks To A Simplified Home: Week 18 Update

This is the last week decluttering the upstairs bathroom. I am not sure what area of the home I want to work on next. I know what ever I pick it will be a public area of the home as I want to get those done first. I haven’t been following the list I wrote in January to the letter, but that is okay because the most important thing is that I am declutter something every week.

I am sorry that there is a toilet in this picture. There was just no way to get a good snapshot of the area without including it.

The reflection in the mirror is the wooden drying rack we keep in the upstairs bathroom for drying my workout clothes and jeans. I am a tall person so I hang a lot of my pants and other items to dry for fear they might shrink. I do notice it makes my jeans last long too, as my jeans are the only ones in the home that air dry and they last for years, where as my husbands rip within a year. Might be the brand or use, but I think air drying also plays a factor.

Anyways back to the clutter. I decided to conquer all the rest of the cabinets and the counter in one day.

I first emptied out the entire area. A lot of it was old product we never finished using for one reason or another, so it went right in the trash.

The oddest things I found were dirty cleaning rags shoved in one corner under the sink and two coke cans. I think I know exactly which child did this, and I am going to have to check their work better when they finish their chores.

We allow our children to have one to two cans of soda a week, but I think whoever shoved these cans in the back of the cupboard has been indulging in more than that, so I am going to have to keep a better eye on that.

All done! I am happy with how it turned out. I have a lot of room in the tall cabinet which will probably hold something else as I continue to move from room to room.

If you are wondering what that black item is on the counter by the sink, that is my jawbone jambox. I use it to listen to podcasts as I clean and declutter. I love learning while I work.

Do you listen to anything while you do housework?
