Some light Friday night reading… can you guess what I don’t keep…?

Here's your permission. Here are 56 things most people keep forever—but others have decluttered without regret.

Confession time… our clients home did get put back together by lunchtime a few weeks back, but I forgot to post the pictures 🤦‍♀️🤣😉

Master suite, sitting room, guest bedroom (Patty’s room), daughter No.2 room all sorted (no shots of daughter No.1 room or study) and the retreat all reset.

Seeing this home come together with new carpet & paintwork really brings this farmhouse to life.

We did a little schuss of the laundry whilst we were in situ.

This family are all busy, working, running businesses & the farm, so outsourcing these projects eases the burden & we’re happy to help 🙏😇🪽👼

Be kind, be brave & smile

Today we’re putting a home back together after new carpet has been laid.

We did an internal move out of the snug, office & 4 bedrooms.

This place will look like a home by midday 🤞

Be kind, be brave & smile

For those of us not heading to the Melbourne Cricket Ground today and having to work, let’s talk about moving & storage…

Moving is emotional, it might be the move you needed for a growing family, a divorce, separation, downsizing or upsizing, whatever the circumstances decisions need to be made about your “stuff”.

“Volumnia” packed her old home & took everything with her. Everything that didn’t have a place on the house, was put in the shed/carport.

Lots of piles were made & it was clear lots of the items being kept could find homes with another loving family. A leather sofa, vintage cabinet, chest of drawers, mid century table & chairs were all placed out on hard rubbish but we contacted all the local community groups & let them know these goodies needed new homes. None of these items can be seen in pics 1 or 2 🤦‍♀️ they were hidden under the clutter.

A shed, carport or garage all have a purpose and we needed to reclaim this space here.

Garden tools & hardware were given a space for ease of access, beach accessories had a space too. Seasonal decorations (Easter, Halloween & Christmas) were categorised and boxes and placed on the shelves. Bike racks were set up, so they can be accessed and easily ridden out the roller door.

Once outside had been conquered we got to work inside setting up bedrooms, the living & dining space and organising the laundry.

We make your move feel like a warm hug 🤗

Asking for help is always hard, but 3 days of Life Organised on site is a breeze 😉😘

Be kind, be brave & smile

When I support clients feeling overwhelmed, I always tell them the biggest hurdle they have is asking for help. They reached out to me, so that hurdle has been dealt with. The home organising is my superpower, as is having a cuppa with you & just chatting through your day.

We don’t know what’s going on n other peoples lives… empathy goes along way…

Be kind, be brave & smile

Happy Father’s Day one & all.

As we embark on a day of celebrating dads, take a moment to remember it’s not a journey for everyone.

Thinking of all of you who are missing Dad today 💔💙💔

Not everyone gets the opportunity to be a parent, for whatever reason, remember you’re special too.

Be kind, be brave & smile

Home organising

I never see what you call “mess or chaos” all I see is space & its potential.

When I did the consult for “Tamora” (yes I’m sticking with the Shakespearean names), I knew we had a couple of storage items that could fix a couple of key pain points.

This is an athletic family, all 3 children play footy 🏉 as well as school sports, dancing, swimming plus a few more sports to keep mum on her toes.

Personally I love a good sports rack, even if it’s just somewhere to keep all the footballs in one place, it means they are contained & the pump is kept in the rack too.

An outdoor shoe rack keeps everyone’s shoes organised, again at the door so easy to locate.

Then we hit the inside cupboards. Adding 2 shelves was a simple way to organise the bags: footy on the bottom; school & sports in the middle; top - swimming. On the top shelf I added some baskets, picnic blankets, travel pillows, boxing 🥊 & gym equipment.
Hanging the sports coat & dogs lead on the back of the door, means we have a place for everything & everything in its place.

I moved onto the “all sorts” cupboard next. I placed the beach & pool towels into a linen box, these aren’t on regular rotation at the moment, so they can be contained over the cooler months. Towels & bathmats folded and now all on the one shelf;
I used 5 stackable drawers for headwear (Magpies, Demons, Sharks, Caps & Beanies), a system that will work for the whole family;
Platters have been placed in a filing stand, for easy access & we can see what is there;
All baking equipment has been placed on the bottom shelf together;
On the top shelf are our seasonal items (Easter & Christmas), kitchenware that hardly used & a popcorn maker.
This cupboard functions & has form.
Tamora was overjoyed with the results, this was a birthday gift to herself. What a treat.

Keep calm, be kind & smile

Home reset

I visited “Titania” (still using Shakespearean names) & said she needed some support. New mum, baby, just married… the list goes on. So yes, needing support was an understatement.

“Titania” was embarrassed by the chaos, I don’t see chaos, I see space & opportunity. So we arrived & got to work…

The pantry & kitchen were an easy fix. A good clear out, grouping items, using our trusty tool kit of supplies; lazy susans - really not lazy & works really hard; 3 tier risers & a range of clear/white containers. Seeing is believing & now the pantry & kitchen functions.

We added a shelving unit over the washing machine to give us some storage, instant fix for a laundry with no storage.

The shed was reorganised with all the garden tools being placed in the smaller shed.

Upstairs we reorganised the wardrobe, boxed up all the clothes & generally added some other to the home. We now have a functioning rumpus upstairs.

Asking for help is your biggest hurdle, Life Organised on site gets you across the finishing line.

Keep calm, be kind & smile

A few weeks back I visited Benedict & Emilia at their stunning tree change property in Smiths Gully. It really was quite stunning & wow 20 acres it really was delightful.

B&E have downsized and have purchased a multi generational home. The younger generation are in the process of moving in. B&E have some grand plans to renovate their wing & I can’t wait to visit to see the transformation.

Whilst I was in the hood, I swung by to say hello to the original (OG) & first Life Organised fairy 🧚. LO Paula did her very own tree change and hung up her apron & found herself working at one of the local vineyards 🍇🍷🍶

Seeing Paula a few weeks back was a treat & also a reminder of who well Life Organised has aged, even if we haven’t 🤣🤔🤣❤️

As we head into a sunny weekend in Melbourne & a full diary over the coming weeks, we’ve got a spring in our Autumn/Winter step 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

Keep calm, be kind & smile

Kelly 😘
