Master The Mess

09/09/2022

My kids went back to school on Tuesday & I felt compelled to tidy up the mess that was their playroom (after laying out mute for the entire morning enjoying that sweet sweet peace & quiet).

I started by tipping out the contents of their toy storage, so I could upgrade it to less “kiddy” vibe & a more grown up look.

I had a day where their toys were ALL over the kitchen, only this way can I see exactly how much they have, and organise them into categories.

The process of organising is where the magik happens ✨ It’s messy and time consuming, and usually half way through I question why I even started BUT I know I’m going to FEEL better on the other side, I know the energy in the room is going to FEEL better & also decluttering our physical space helps declutter our headspace. We let go of the things we don’t use anymore, and they can go to someone else who will enjoy them. We create more space for things that we want around us, or simply more space to create with what we have.

I upgraded the toy storage for something that looks more “grown up” but holds their things inside in a clear, organised way. (For those interested it is from Ikea called IVAR). I love the rattan look against the dark green.

I wanted the room to feel more spacious, less cluttered, but ready to play with toys when they got them out. The large coffee table with shelf underneath is perfect for board games, Lego building, marble tracks & hot wheels. The shelf holds all the board games without them being the focus of the room.

I added new cushions from Jysk to the sofa, which as much as I would love to replace is pointless as it gets stained on the daily with fruit juice etc, and put a few new plants in the room for decoration & also that healing energy that plants bring.

When the boys came home from school they said they “loved it” which made my heart smile ✨🙌🏻

Utility Room ✨✨✨

This space can be a dumping ground (swipe right to see before). Things accumulate because it’s one of those rooms that isn’t on show.

However, for a family this can be one of the most used rooms, so making the space more organised not only makes it look good, but FEEL good, and when things feel good, you feel good.

I used a mixture of baskets and boxes for these shelves. The baskets are great for clothes that need ironing, winter woollies, etc. The large boxes are great for winter boots and wellies, and other seasonal items that can be packed away for months.

Now the worktop becomes a free usable space that helps you when you need to get jobs done.

Do you have a space in your home that needs organising? Message me to find out how I can help make it work for you, rather than against you ✨✨✨

Master The Mess|| Craft Room

Organising this room was such a JOY for me, not only because I love but being a crafter I understand how important it is to have your own space to create in.

Having all your craft tools and equipment in easy to reach & manageable storage systems is SO important for creative flow. You want to get the most out of the time you’re in there, and the most out of all your supplies.

By organising her room we were able to get the storage down to just two units, which Sammie already had. This made the room feel more spacious, and less cluttered.

If you have an area in your home that you would like me to come and Master the Mess then please get in contact ✨✨✨
