Since January, when I started the De-cluttering Series, I've been simplifying things around the house. This includes the daily skin regimen. I usually feel naked without makeup. However, my aim is to focus more on simplifying what I apply on my face daily.
The place is "sandy". For the last several days, we had medium to mild sandstorms. Apologies for my long absence. This week I've been home alone, with the husband overseas for work. With that, I kept myself very busy. The sandstorm prompted me to do two indoor things offline: (1) Catch up with friends over food and movies at their place and (2) Organize the house inside out. Coughing due to dust and cold weather prompted me to stay at home most of the time de-cluttering (or maybe all that coughing was brought about by cleaning).

#2 was motivated by house guests coming over in February. I'll have the entire in-laws from France staying with us for a week. Parents and kids and their babies, a fun bunch of 7. I'm going to convert my studio/office into a temporary guest bedroom. I'm excited, because I love having people over. A house filled with laughter and food and stories.
My heart beat stopped when I saw these organizers for the home office wall from
Pottery Barn . This system and a gigantic inspiration board are on my priority list. Daily System- Espresso Stain, daily modular system mounted on a stainless-steel rod that slides. One can easily move or add each piece, from cork boards, office organizers, letter bins to mobile phone holders. What do you think?

I finally got around to organizing the clutter of makeup on my bathroom counter. Using Godmorgon Box from IKEA, USD $18, it helped solve my problem immediately. Ideally, I should have a drawer to keep this acrylic organizer in, but that's probably my next project.
How's your Monday going? Hope we all start this week with a big smile. As we plunge into the work week, I'd like to write about one of the niggles I've been trying to avoid. Don't we all? It is organizing the utility room. (So boring, right?)
Let's make the utility room a fun storage place then. We should consider ourselves lucky if ever we have one. It's a luxury to have one nowadays especially living within a highly priced vicinity. If ever we are missing this space, convert a wasted corner into a concealed storage closet or convert an empty wall available in the service area of your flat.

#1 Take advantage of your wall space. Attach metal planters with funky labels.
# 2 Keep the room tidy with all-white scheme.
This keeps the room fresh and organized throughout the week.
It makes the chore breezy and easy.
# 3 Choose a style theme for your Utility Room
50's Style Laundry Room
Splashes of sky blue paint and canary yellow are stimulating.
Add 50s style with the text art and classic looking appliance.
# 4 Pretty in Pink
Let's channel all our Barbie-loving psyche outwards and paint the walls pink.
Accessorize with a darker polka dot towel, neutral hued rustic furniture to tone it down a bit
with a chessboard vinyl flooring to match.
# 5 Vintage Look
Use retro accessories. Sink by Lassco. Laundry hanpers, containers and shelf organizers
all work together to make it clutter free. The graphic sticker on the washing machine
personalizes the look.
Who says we can't turn a space we tend to avoid into a fun nook?
As for me, it is my cat turns our silly storage into a happening place! :)
Have a great week ahead.
