Helping busy families create a sense of calm and enjoy their homes. Horsham, West Sussex

It’s nice to be nice, isn’t it!

At around this time of year, I begin to tidy up the garden and cut things back once they’ve finished flowering.

It is done in preparation for the year ahead, and to make sure the path is accessible through the winter months. As you know, I’m all about making day-to-day life easier.

Part of that is trimming my lavender, so I don’t get soaked when I walk past in after rain.

It seems such a shame to waste it, so I’ve been making little bunches and popping them on my front wall incase anybody would like some.

I’m glad to say that roughly ten little bundles have already brought a bit of joy to some of my neighbours. It’s so lovely to be able to share the love.

Let me know if you’d like some, as I’ve a bit more to trim!

I’ve already had a request from some little girls who were planning to get them on their way home but missed out on the last lot! So cute 🥰

Decluttering and Organising your home means reviewing what you have, assessing what you want and releasing what you no longer need.

Having someone to help you through the process, and keep you on track with what you are trying to achieve can be hugely beneficial. A guiding hand that helps you to see clearly and ensure you get the to results you want.

Being invited in, to be part of this process is a huge honour, and it is not something I take lightly. I consider it a massive compliment to be trusted with your most precious belongings and always take great care and consideration when helping you to curate your space.

If a family member has an area they don’t want to be touched, we respect that. If they have a cherished collection or special interest, we make space for it to flourish.

Let’s set your home up for the life you have.

It’s not about picture perfect, it’s about systems that actually work for you and your lifestyle.

Get in touch to book your Free Initial Consultation.

I’d love to help you.

I finally put up the picture frames I’ve been meaning to do for months, and let me tell you it feels SO good!

We all have those niggly jobs… that thing you’ve been meaning to do for ages, that task you keep walking by and not making the time for.

Today is the day!

A bonus day off work, at the end of the summer. Yes by all means enjoy being outside (weather permitting), relax, treat yourself to something tasty - but how great would it feel to tick that thing off your list!?

Be honest with yourself. How long will it actually take? And how long have you been thinking about doing it?!

Perhaps it’s finally sorting out the kids school work from the end of term. Checking through your wardrobe and removing the things that don’t make you feel great. Dropping that bag of donations.

Even if you can’t get it done today. Take the first step. Schedule it in your diary.

If we want things done, we have to make time for them.

Go on. You can do it.

I believe in you!

How’s your work space?

I’ve recently been helping a client to regain control of her home office.

It started off beautifully organised and intentional… but then life happened.

• Things got busy.
• Hobbies outgrew their storage.
• ‘I’ll just pop that there for a minute’
• I’m not sure where this should go.
• How long do I need to keep that paperwork?

Before you know if, the space is no longer useable and it’s easier just to shut the door and work somewhere else.

We’ve been working through years of belongings and paperwork, re-designating spaces, repositioning furniture and uncovered treasured items.

If you feel like your work space isn’t quite functioning how you’d hoped, perhaps it’s time to get in touch.

Remember, I take away any items you no longer need, and redistribute them on your behalf, so no figuring out where the best place to donate that unwanted stationary is.

I’ll do that for you. 🥰

Confession time…

My toiletries have got a little out of hand recently.

I don’t know if it’s the various comings and goings over the past few months, or just a gradual lack of due care, but this area of my home has started to feel less ordered than I’d like recently.

Whilst routing through trying to find something one morning I decided, enough is enough.

It was time to take back control.

So instead of rushing onto the next task, I took a few minutes to reset everything.

It was time to be honest with myself:

• Will I actually use that body butter?
• Do I need that medication?
• Is that scent something I’d choose?

Anything that was unopened, that I decided I wasn’t going to use, will be redistributed to those who need them most.

It really didn’t take that long, and it felt so good to be clear on what was actually in there, and to have everything in its rightful place again.

Ah!! That feels better.

What area of your home has been driving you slightly mad recently? What’s been stressing you out or causing frustration.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I love my job!

Last week I met a lovely new client, and am super excited to help them implement some improved storage solutions and systems that actually work for their lifestyle.

This family have an absolutely beautiful home but the space isn’t quite working for them at the moment, so we’re going to fix that.

We’re going to ensure that they things they want and need regular access to are to hand, and then less frequently used items are tucked away until their time comes.

Making small adjustments can have a huge impact in easing your day-to-day and I can not wait to make this a reality for this family.

If you’d like to make your day-to-day a little easier, please get in touch.

I’d love to help.

Seriously, look how happy I am.

Let’s talk about magazines…

Ooh they are tempting aren’t they!

At the checkout, the ones that come through the door, the lovely free ones you can pick up in town. Maybe someone even gifted you a subscription to a magazine you really like.

I don’t know about you, but in my house I just never get round to actually reading them. I love the idea of it, but I never quite seem to make the time.

So, they pile up.

Maybe you put them in a box, or a magazine rack, or pop them in a cupboard, promising yourself you will find the time to read them… one day!

This week, whilst working with a client, we came across this beauty from 2012 (I’ll do the maths for you - that’s 14 years old!) and it reminded me of all the times I’ve found books on decluttering and organisation in clients homes.

Often my clients are very knowledgeable on decluttering theories and methodology but when it actually comes to the task in hand, it’s harder than they thought it would be.

Not knowing where to start.

Pulling things out and creating a big mess.

Loosing track of where they are at.

Overwhelm.

I can help with all of that. I am the guiding hand, that will keep you on track, ask the right questions at the right time and ensure you don’t end up in a bigger mess than where you started.

If any of this sounds familiar, let’s chat.

I can’t wait to hear from you.

September is just around the corner.

Depending on how much fun you’ve been having over the summer that may or may not be welcome news…

But if you’ve been thinking about getting things in order, feeling more in control or trying to fall back in love with your home, this is the perfect time of year to do it.

The temperatures are coming down to a more comfortable level, we still have the bright evenings and as the start of the academic year rolls around again it feels like a good point for a reset.

I’ve already got several bookings in for the start of the month, so if you see a date that works for you, do get in touch.

I’d love to help you.

Speak soon,

Katie

The toaster is a hard working part of our kitchen.

Breakfast, lunchtime, quick snack… it is a functional and speedy device which helps make life run smoothly.

It doesn’t ask much of us, so often it’s easy to forget about it all together when it comes to cleaning and maintenance but every so often you’ll be waiting for the kettle to boil and think;

‘Oh - I really should give the toaster a clean!’

Usually this happens when you are rushing out the door, so it get’s forgotten about until another similar moment occurs, so consider this your periodic reminder to give it a once over.

I promise it doesn’t take long, just unplug and take it outside. Remove and empty the crumb trays, then turn it over and give it a good shake to get all the bigger bits out.

Now you’ve fed the birds and cleaned your toaster.

Well done!

If you’ve got a few more minutes you can even try that tinfoil hack on the top. It worked pretty well for me.

While you are at it, you may as well give the kettle a quick wipe too.

Now, time for a well earned cuppa and hot cross bun.

Have a great day! 😊

I love a donation day!

When I work with Decluttering & Organising clients, I take away anything that is no longer serving them, to donate on their behalf.

I gather together groups of items from various sessions until I have a good amount for my donation partners. Then we arrange a date to play ‘Van Tetris’ - Nicky is particularly good at this game, and just when I think we might have run out of space she figures out a way to fit a little more in.

I absolutely love these days, as I know how much good my clients donations can do.

Nicky, as always, it’s a pleasure working with you.
