Inspiration Will Hit

Hi, my name's Alex and I am a hardcore hoarder and I have a confession to make. I hold onto things that haven't seen the light of day for years - but you just never know when I might need them again. Take for example the box currently sitting upstairs that I've not unpacked for over three years. It's full of all kinds of stuff. Old work stuff (cause I might just need it), photos, and probably a whole lot of dust. I wish someone would just hypnotise the hoarder out of me.

Feels like I should be heading to hoarding rehab.

Anyway, as a continuation of my storage theme (I'm thinking if I had better storage then I would be able to find things, and thus throw out things I don't really need - oh that hurts!), I stumbled upon this cute little set of drawers by Wrongwoods by way of Poppytalk. Seriously cute, like living in a cartoon! If you have a lazy $6,000+ you can buy it here.
Word on the street is they have nightstands too. Can you imagine just how cute these would be?
Anyway, we are hopefully moving soon. So I am attempting a fine stunt. To oust our house of some of my accumlated stuff. And so far, I am not doing too badly. I have ebayed a few things. I have tossed a few things. I have charity binned a few bags of goodies too. But now I am getting hardcore. After this weekend I am going to set myself a challenge. A bag a day must leave our house. A bag a day.
It's almost like my mini-marathon. Now I just need someone to toss a glass of water on my face mid-week and I'll keep on with my anti-junk regime. Go me!

Storage Solutions



I have some major storage issues in our home. There's just not enough cupbpoard space, so there's always stuff lying around. It equals sometimes a huge mess. And this is catastrophic for a hoarder such as myself.

Lucky for us, we scored these two great suitcases - lining is impeccable and they don't even have that musky smell that tends to come with a lot of pre-loved goods.

I'm thinking they're perfect for the little people's rooms. What could be more fun than opening a suitcase masquerading as a dress-up box (and can even be incorporated into the dress-ups?)?
