31 Day Declutter Challenge
We’re at the end of the 31 Day Declutter Challenge so this will be my last update for the month. And I’d love to hear about your progress so leave a comment or a link below.
Decluttering Challenge Update
Well, life happens.
(Warning: Gross details.) This past week sewage backed up into both our bathrooms, and the pressure was so great in the guest bathroom that it broke the seal under the toilet and partially flooded the bathroom floor.
Good times.
Needless to say I was quite busy with clean up and getting the drain system unclogged. Thankfully we had the money for that!
My daughter also had car issues so I had to help with that as well, so my week didn’t go as planned.
All that to say that the only decluttering I did this week is pictured above: a t-shirt, a shower curtain and a planter.
And this was the collection from the previous week.
But the house looks pretty good in all the main living spaces (see my Fixer Upper Fall Home Tour HERE), so I’m happy with my progress. This month’s decluttering was really more about organizing and putting away the “clutter” that was in all the wrong places than getting rid of a lot of items. You know the saying, “A place for everything and everything in its place.” It really is the key to an organized space.
But future decluttering projects will involve more purging for sure.

I thought the planter, tee shirt, & planter was an purposeful arrangement. The colors all complimented each other. I decluttered the master bath last week. Moved some things around & cleaned. I put extra towels on a small shelf unit I had. It looks better.
There was a calamity at my house this week too. In the early hours on this past Monday an intoxicated driver hit a telephone pole near our driveway. The telephone pole came down & landed on an (old) car in our driveway along w/ the power lines. 2020 just keeps on coming at us.
Oh no! I’m so sorry! I hope you have a much better week this week.
