De-Clutter in 30 days

Just when I am beginning my motto of "less is more" .... a blog I follow came up with a 30-day plan to less clutter.  And I think I'm going to just do it!  Here are the first four days' tasks:

Bathroom

Day 1: Medicine Cabinet

Toss expired medications, hotel shampoos that you'll never use, and throw out lotions you've had since 1990. While you're at it, give the mirror a quick wipe, too.

Day 2: Shower 

Get rid of the extras and empties in your shower. Invest in a shower caddy to keep everything organized and in one spot.

Day 3: Makeup Drawer/Bag 

Go through your makeup bag or drawer and reassess some of the items. Hot pink eye shadow you haven't touched since 1980? Toss! Lipstick that doesn't smell quite right anymore? You know what to do. If you haven't used it in a year, it's time to trash it.

Day 4: Linen Closet

Over time those neatly stacked towels start to shift and folded sheets somehow end up on the floor. And why is your kiddo's baseball bat in there, anyway? Take stock of what's in the linen closet, straighten what you want and consider donating items you haven't used in more than a year to charity.

And even if you have a busy lifestyle and it takes you more than 30 days, at least you'll have a head start onto a cleaner, more organized home!  

So here's my BEFORE

and here's the AFTER
