What is each space’s purpose?
A good place to start, if you are feeling like an organisational overhaul is right for you but you aren’t sure where to start, is to think about each space’s purpose. What do you want out of your house? Your room? For me, I want my house to be a welcoming place of refuge that […]
Let’s organise… cleaning!
This may come as a surprise but although I am passionate about organising and am naturally inclined towards being organised, I am not this way when it comes to cleaning. ‘Cleaning’ as I see it is, and as Dictionary.com sees it, is being free from dirt; unsoiled; unstained.

A neat trick to tidy up scuff marks
Tidy up scuff marks! Do not underestimate the power of a Sharpie. With the help of this handy tool, scuff marks on shoes can vanish. It’s like using a black permanent marker to disguise tears in tights, or a cut walnut to minimise the look of scratches on wood – seriously try it! I’ve used […]
Lounge wear criteria
My attention was drawn to my lounge wear the other day because the stacks were becoming untidy. Sorting through the stacks I realised that it had unwittingly turned into a dumping ground. Items of clothing that had been downgraded from other parts of my wardrobe were now hanging out with genuine lounge wear. A pair of […]
