It’s time to reveal another clutter spot in my home; under the stairs; it’s not pretty and it needs a coat of paint, but hey ho, eventually.
I spent about two hours sorting, clearing and organising it on Saturday, without spending a penny; I don’t like to hoard stuff, so spending lots of money on fancy storage items to keep the clutter in defeats the object.
I recycled or donated as much as possible, and things that I wanted to keep went into containers that I already had; I simply labelled them so that everything is easy to find.
Here’s the before and after shots.

Excellent point on not wanting to buy fancy containers to keep stuff. That’s a bad plan in my mind. It’s better to get rid of some of the stuff at that point.

@ Teresa lol!
@sif thanks. Years ago having a cupboard like that, with awful mustard paint and ‘non uniform’ storage would of been a no no for me; nowadays I’m trying to use what I have and not buy more stuff.
