Kick Off Your New Year with a Four-Week Decluttering Series
A Sneak Peek Into Our January Decluttering Series
As we welcome the new year, I’m thrilled to share a little preview of the four-week decluttering series I've planned with my Home Decorators Club. We’ll be tackling a different part of the home each week, and I’ll be going live on Facebook every Friday to educate and cheer on our group. If you'd like to join us for this FREE series, please go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/homedecoratorsclub
I'm launching this at home in my own kitchen, going through the cabinets and drawers. And starting things off with a small but impactful change: swapping out my Christmas and Fiesta dishes for some "every day" ones. I am loading my everyday dishes back into the cabinet for winter, and set the table in new ways
I had decided I had too many Fiesta dishes. I have been collecting these dishes for 43 years. So it was time to part with ones I was not using. I separated them, washed them, and donated the ones I could part with and put the ones I wanted to keep in the pantry. These dishes served me well when my now-grown kids were young. I could tell by the color dish who left their dishes in the sink, or ate in the family room or left on the patio. It was so helpful when they were young. So I got rid of ones I never use, colors I wasn't as fond of, and kept what I know I will like and use. I offered the donation dishes to my daughters to see if they wanted any of them. What isn't gone by the end of the declutter series will be donated to charity. (Below are what I kept that I store in my pantry.)
While I swapped out my Christmas dishes for my everyday set, and in the process, I took the chance to give the cupboards a nice wipe-down, wash everything thoroughly, and rearrange the shelves. It was the perfect time to do a bit of a refresh.
I was able to part with one-off dishes, items that were just taking up valuable space. I use a system to make decluttering simple. Join our Facebook group to learn an easy way to declutter your belongings.
And as I did that, I also started a little “donation box” for dishes I no longer needed. I’ll be checking with my daughters to see if they’d like any of them before I donate the rest. So consider this your friendly little preview: before we jump into the full decluttering plan, you can start by doing a simple swap and a quick tidy. And if you’re curious about how I removed those pesky cut marks from my Fiestaware, you can check out the linked post here!
And here below are the everyday dishes I now have in my kitchen cabinet.
