Were I to "Kondo" I suspect that most of the cleaning supplies would be first to go. :) <br /><br />while I shall miss your 'like' pictures, stories of things will be fun too. And maybe 'like' pictures can be *MY* artistic project...Leigh in Portland (we are not burning down)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06372544021604211747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-58540254325635096972017-01-03T15:13:42.498-05:002017-01-03T15:13:42.498-05:00I have a studio over the unattached garage, and tw...I have a studio over the unattached garage, and two desks in my very small house. Having tried the all-over approach, I am heading toward the one place in each approach. I can't find anything in either place - so time to try a new strategy.

The up side (if there could be one) was the opportunity I had to organize as we went along. How wonderful to have favorite things along with the good memories they bring. I'm sure you treaure each one and I look forward to seeing them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13204127165550190242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-47943849761321314232017-01-01T12:54:12.489-05:002017-01-01T12:54:12.489-05:00I will do my best to deliver!! thanks for reading...I will do my best to deliver!! thanks for readingkathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-32945629096089914342017-01-01T11:38:45.026-05:002017-01-01T11:38:45.026-05:00Hi Jan!

Saves steps and time (very big house) and I feel so organized when I can just put my hand on it immediately.

The best tip I ...I have lots I can't part with.<br />The best tip I picked up from Kondo was to only have one place to put like things.<br />i.e. put all the sticky tape in one draw, instead of having x number of rolls all around the house.<br />Then when you want tape you can go to the one place instead of looking in several places. We have moved to a smaller house and this works for me.<br />I find I am using up supplies of what I have instead of going out to buy more.<br />Love the mugs, and memories they prompt.<br />Twenty years ago when we renovated our old house my husband wanted to bulldoze the whole house and build new. I wouldn't let him, saying that all my memories are in the old house. It had a soul. <br />Cheers from your faithful reader JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
