Get a fresh start for the new year!

It's a fresh year, a fresh decade, and time for a fresh start! What better way to kick off 2020 than with a little decluttering and organizing?

Not sure where to get started? Take a few cues from the quees of decluttering, Marie Kondo!

There are six basic rules to get started:

1. Commit yourself to tidying up.
2. Imagine your ideal lifestyle.
3. Finish discarding first. Before getting rid of items, sincerely thank each item for serving its purpose.
4. Tidy by category, not location.
5. Follow the right order.
6. Ask yourself it it sparks joy.

And five categories to tackle:

1. Clothes
2. Books
3. Papers
4. Komono (a.k.a. Miscellaneous Items)
5. Sentimental Items

As you get cleaning and shifting things around, you may come across furniture, housewares or home decor that no longer meet your needs. This is where we come in! Please feel free to walk in with your items 7 days/week, or contact us with any questions.  Read more HERE on our "How it Works" page.
