Autumn Clean up Sorting storage boxes, bins and creating a window display!BLOGMAS DAY 13!

It is Blogmas Day 13 and wanted to share some more of my Autumn clean up. Yes Autumn is now over, as we are now into Winter, however I still want to share the areas I cleared our and cleaned up to help inspire you, if you want to do the same, to use these different seasons to do so. 

My storage boxes and bins can easily get clogged up and so I will during the months of Autumn, Winter and spring give these a good old fashioned spruce up. 

I go through any paper work, books and anything that is no longer being used or I care for. Storage bins can get very dusty too, so to clear the dust as my husband can really suffer if not, it is important that these are thoroughly cleaned out. 

The storage box above is one I keep in my sons closet, which now since it was cleaned up and cleared, has his bedding in it. This one was from Very. 

The Kon Mari Method of "Does it bring me joy?" does ring in my head now when I sort through my home. 

Bins are great but they can still hold clutter and become a rubbish tip, rather than somewhere that stores valuable items. 

There is no before picture, as I will often forget to take one because I get into the mindset of  "I just have to do it" sometimes rather than delay it any further. 

Keeping things to a minimum is helping a lot and when sorting out I will often find things especially in storage bins and boxes, that I have been searching for, for ages and found them in there. 

Breaking it up, doing bit by bit really helps and keeping things minimum is too and the other thing I love to do, is creating a Window Display. See above of the one I did of my son's bedroom window. 

I don't need loads of stuff to keep me happy, just the items that I need, brings me joy and keeps these areas tidy. Once they are cleared and organised helps make me feel better within myself. 

I hope this helps you clean up these areas clear and clean too, and share any tips you may have below, if you wish. 

So I will continue to blog throughout Blogmas. To be honest because I have been keeping up with my declutter and having a summer clean out too, I haven't had to do that much, but it doesn't mean that they won't. It is a work progress like everything else.

Please check out my Home page where there are links to my other Blogmas posts. 

Have a great weekend and I will blog again tomorrow on Day number 14.

Many thanks for reading,
