52 Weeks To A Simplified Home: Week 9 Update

Now that the dining room is done I have decided to move on to the downstairs bathroom.

I chose to start on the cabinets below the sink. It was quite a jumble of products down there.

I took everything out of both cupboards and cleaned the spilled super washing soda off the bottom of the cabinet ( that is the white stuff you see in the photo. I love super washing soda for natural cleaning, it cleans gunk off of doors and does a fantastic job on walls. It also does wonders on mustard and grass stains.

I divided the products up into two piles, cleaning products and personal products. I made one cabinet a cleaning supply cupboard, and the other cabinet now holds our personal product stash.

You might notice that the cabinets in this bathroom are unstained and that is because my husband got about 80% done on this bathroom and then moved on to another project, leaving the cabinets without trim. I have been waiting for him to get back to it and finish the trim so I can stain them – I don’t think it will happen soon though. Oh well, he is a great help around the house, and he doesn’t have a lot of extra time on his hands so it can wait.

    This is a great post. I am actually working on a similar post and project at home. I guess we’re all in the mood to get some organizing and spring cleaning done. But it’s a great feeling when you look at the previously messy cupboard or drawer and see organization. It simply makes our lives run smoother and be less chaotic. 🙂

      Yes I am so surprised by how only 9 weeks into 52 weeks of decluttering I already feel like my home is bigger and less overwhelming to clean.

    Wow, I am impressed! I tend to get overwhelmed with the cupboards, drawers & such, but just breaking it down to smaller manageable goals sounds much easier to handle. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    Nice work! I decluttered (indirectly) my spouse’s clothing collection that lives in the spare bedroom. We keep a lot of seasonal and dressy clothes in there and I went through mine last week. I put all of my spouse’s stuff into one huge pile and was SO HAPPY when on review, over half of it is destined for the thrift store!

    We’ve decluttered the basement and our closet so far, as well as the kitchen drawers. I keep running out of time to do all of these things and need to remember, baby steps!

      Yes baby steps are key. I wasn’t decluttering for quite awhile because I thought it would take too long. Reason was I was caught in mindset that I had to do at least and entire room at once and I don’t have time in my week to do that. However, now that I have broken the whole house down into 52 areas each area takes me 20 minutes to 40 minutes top to do. I can squeeze that into my week (although I still procrastinate).
