Taking the Dust to a New Level



As city folk know, you can have a small living space and still be comfortable.

As a gypsy, I am also a pro at living "light." I mean, I did live in Australia out of one small suitcase for 4 months!

Even though the kitchen and bathroom may be demolished in a few weeks, this doesn't mean I can't de-clutter and organize our stuff anyway.

Task: Make room for baby bottles in kitchen
Therefore: De-clutter bathroom so that I can move my medicine cabinet from the kitchen to the bathroom.


After

With some simple containers  (I found mine at a thrift store and Homegoods), willingness to throw out and combine, one can get things tidied up pretty well.


However, I did have some issues. Containers, especially if you are trying to go glass, or eco-friendly can get expensive and shopping for these items at a second hand store is always a hit or miss event.  I had a budget of $20 and stayed under.

It took patience to stay under that budget. A lot of it.
I also found containers around my house that weren't being used to the best of their abilities including the green jar I ended putting cotton balls in.

I still would like to add Chalk Board labels which I found to be cheapest at Staples. I also need two more boxes. One for my vitamins and one for first aid items. That will have to wait til next week - when I can adhere to the budget once again!
