Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering

31/08/2026

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.

Friday night client tale💚

One of the things I love most about this work is seeing how a small change in our spaces can create a big change in how we feel.

A client shared something that really stayed with me:

“I was able to get rid of what I wasn’t using, and because I have designated space for everything, at the end of each day I put things where they belong and each morning when I return to work I start fresh.”

Before we worked together, they described their workspace as:
“...adding mess on top of mess because nothing really belonged anywhere.”

And I think many of us can relate to that feeling.
When everything we own has a home, it’s not just about making things look tidy.
It means we can find what we need more easily.
It means putting things away takes less effort.
It means we aren’t carrying the constant mental load of wondering where something is.

My client summed it up beautifully:
“Removing clutter from the physical space has also lightened the mental clutter for me.”

And that’s why decluttering is about so much more than the things we let go of.
It’s about creating spaces that support the life we want to live. 💛

Together, we worked out what they actually needed in their workspace, what could go, and where the things they kept should live.

If you're looking at your own space and thinking, "I want that feeling of starting fresh," that's something I can help you with. We can work out where to start and what would make the biggest difference for you.

Who saw yesterday's e-waste video??

I have to admit, I had so much fun making it.

But making it was a bit of a challenge because I'm not an influencer. I don't have fancy tripods, lights, or those giant silver reflector things.

So I did what I usually do when I'm faced with something new—I shopped my own home first to find a solution.

No lighting equipment?
I filmed outside using natural light.

No tripod?
I flipped a washing basket upside down and rested my phone in the rolled edge.

It looks pretty basic, but it did the job. And because making videos isn't my full-time gig, these temporary fixes worked perfectly.

So next time you have a project, try shopping your own home first for a solution. It can save you money, stop clutter before it even gets to your front door, and gives your creative side a chance to shine.

This reminds me of my science days, when I once used a soup ladle and takeaway containers to collect mud samples from rice paddies. Not because we'd forgotten the equipment... but because no one had invented equipment specifically for that very particular job!

Sometimes you just have to look at what you have and find a solution.
Tell me... what is something unusual you've used for a job it was never designed to do?

☕ A Thursday trip to Myrtleford...

I'll be in Myrtleford on Thursday dropping off 36 re-homed ceramic mugs to a local cafe.

It's one of my favourite parts of this job - finding new homes for things that still have plenty of life left in them.

And while I'm in town, if you've been thinking about decluttering or organising your home, I have time for a free, obligation in-home consultation. We can walk through your space, talk about what's feeling overwhelming, and chat about how I can help.

Send a message if you'd like to catch me while I'm in Myrtleford. 💚

Have you ever found something in a cupboard, drawer or shed and thought:
“I know I probably shouldn’t put this in the bin… but what do I do with it?”

You’re not alone!

One of the things I often help with during decluttering sessions is sorting through the things people aren’t sure what to do with — including e-waste.

But what exactly is e-waste?

A simple way to think about it is: if something needs electricity or batteries to work, it may need a different pathway than your general rubbish bin.

I saved some of the electrical items I’ve collected during decluttering sessions to show just how varied e-waste can be.

And yes… there were cords.
Lots of cords.
(You’ll see what I mean 😆)

From cooking appliances and speakers to CPAP machines, phones, tablets, Game Boys, Christmas lights, electric blankets and more — many of these are things people don’t immediately think of as e-waste.

So next time you find a broken electrical item tucked away, pause before throwing it away. It may have another destination.

💛 BE LIKE BONNY!
We put the call out for our community to get behind the New Beginnings Gala Ball, and the lovely Bonny from Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering got in touch.

And we think Bonny might be onto something...

👀 Could you be like Bonny?
We are looking for businesses and individuals who may be able to donate an experience, product, service or something special for our live and silent auctions.

Every auction item helps us raise more funds for the Donation Hub, which will support people across the Ovens Murray region to rebuild their lives and create a safe new home after family and sexual violence.

A huge thank you to Bonny and Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering for getting behind us. 💛

🎟️ And if donating an auction item isn't your thing, you can still help. Grab some friends, book a table and join us for the New Beginnings Gala Ball on Friday 20 November!
