Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering

05/09/2026

Is there a fundamental difference between being tidy and being organised?

I am about to give a very personal example of two different systems in use in my own home.
Both organised, one is tidy, the other is what I lovingly refer to as captured chaos.

This is about underwear 🫨

One person loves theirs folded neatly into small stacks and lined up in their cupboard.
The other flings them into a drawer, kind of like throwing things into a bucket.

Both systems are organised because each person knows exactly where to find a clean pair of jocks!

But I have a feeling only one system would be considered tidy😅.

Tidy makes things look calmer.
Organised means it feels calmer.
And organised makes it easier to truly be tidy.

Want to dig a little deeper into the difference between tidy and organised? I’ve written about it on my blog [https://www.tsdecluttering.au/blog/tidy-vs-organised]

Love a slap-up Saturday pizza night! 🍕

I remember reading years ago that pizza came about as a way to use up leftovers... and I've run with that philosophy ever since. 😁

Tonight's menu was:

* Garlic pizza
* Hot salami pizza
* Hot salami & tomato pizza
* Tomato pizza (not quite a margherita, but you get the picture!)
* And one for the grown-ups with olives, semi-dried tomatoes and eggplant.

They were all made with things from the pantry, fridge and freezer.

The salami was left over from school lunches, the tomatoes were sitting in the fruit bowl, and the eggplant came from a jar I'd picked up on special because I wanted to give it a try.

By the time Saturday night rolls around, I want easy, simple and nothing too fussy. I love that I can use up the bits and pieces hanging around in the fridge and turn them into a pretty great meal.

How's everyone else's Saturday going? Hope you're relaxing too! 💚

Hello Declutterers 👋
I am sharing this as I spoke recently with a mum who has a daughter about to do their deb - and this is a great option for those looking for formal wear.
Dresses are donated and hired out, closing the loop by reusing frocks, and it makes debs that little bit more affordable as well.

One of our hire gowns 🖤 While 2026 is almost over for deb season, we are preparing for 2027 already with a SALE ONLY DAY coming up soon...
⁠
If you have a gown you are looking to sell - please get in touch via DM, we are accepting gowns on consignment!⁠
⁠
If you have a dress taking up space & would love to donate it - let us know!

Friday night client tale💚
This is the kind of job that feeds my soul as a professional organiser - knowing I can truly be of help to people. This job is on-going, it started with the kitchen and will continue till this house is a home again.

So grateful to my clients plying me with coffee yesterday. You guys are awesome! I'd been burning the midnight oil playing catch-up after spending time in Emergency Mon & Tues with a sick kid. I think it was a 7 coffee day yesterday! But it worked and they now have an organised shed ☕💪, and happy to report that the kid is alright🌞.

The wattles are out, the bees are busy, and it finally feels like spring has arrived in North East Victoria. 🌼🐝

Spring always feels like a fresh start — and it's the perfect excuse to clear a little space too.

A little reminder that my Spring Decluttering Competition is open, and entries close at midnight on 30 September.

If you've been meaning to enter (or know someone who'd love a helping hand), there's still plenty of time.

Happy Spring! 💚

Every now and then I like to let people know when I have room to welcome new clients.

I currently have a handful of appointments available in September.

If you've been quietly thinking, "I really should do something about that spare room... or that paperwork... or that cupboard..."
this might be the nudge you've been waiting for.

No judgement.
Just thoughtful support, one step at a time.

I see it in the faces of my clients when I first meet them – that look of complete overwhelm on what to do! Clutter has literally stopped them in their tracks.

And when you’re the one in the middle of it, it is so hard to see beyond it.
That clutter has such an oppressive, overpowering presence.

It means you can’t relax.
You can’t think.
It affects your mood.
It affects your EVERYTHING!

So how do we get out from under all that clutter?
With help, with guidance, with compassion and with understanding.
And with the knowledge that you are not alone.

Hello Declutterers!
Can we help?👇

We’re heading into the FINAL WEEKEND of August Dignity Drive, and we need your help to close a huge gap. 💔

We’ve currently collected just 46% of the products we need to meet the requests from our charity partners, but we can bridge this gap, together.

Behind every product request is a real person.

One mum shared her experience:

“I couldn’t afford tampons or pads. I had to cancel work, couldn’t take my kids to school, and bled onto towels for 2 days until I was paid. I have incredibly heavy periods and go through a box every day - minimum - for the first four days.”

That’s missed income. Children missing school. Anxiety, stress and mental load no one should have to carry.

No one should have to live like this.

That’s why menstrual equity is everyone’s business, and why this final weekend matters so much.

If you’re heading to Woolworths Supermarkets or a participating business this weekend, please pick up an extra pack of period products or incontinence aids and drop them into a pink collection box.

💗 We have just one weekend left to close the gap.
