Gotham City Stampers

I hate clutter. My mom would laugh because I spent most of my childhood making piles around my room. I was famous for taking a bunch of papers and just piling them up. Papers, pictures, school work…it didn’t matter. The piles would adorn the perimeter of my spacious bedroom. As an adult, I can’t stand it. I am so anal about it that I even have all the labels in the fridge facing forward. My poor husband.

I stumbled upon this decluttering site-probably on Pinterest and loved that I could add a daily decluttering chore to my icalendar. The site has some things that don’t pertain to me and doesn’t have enough about cleaning up an art studio. BUT, I make it work and if nothing else is a daily reminder to declutter and simplify a bit. I have doing a little at a time and am pleased with rediscovering new things in our home. I especially love organizing my art studio and have come across things that I have forgotten about.

I plan to share my progress little by little. I will try my best to remember to share the “before” pictures. I sometimes forget because I get so excited to dive into the project. I have been a section of our home at a time. Same with my artsy supplies. One shelf or corner at a time so I can make it “just right”.

Here’s a look at what I have done with my OODLES of sprays. I have lots from different companies and need them by colors and brands. It’s how my brain thinks. You have to do what works for you.

BEFORE PICTURE OF MY GLIMMER MIST SHELF

You could say I have a slight addiction to Glimmer Mist. I love the colors and the shimmer. But, they were taking up a lot of real estate on my shelf. I have bottles that were half full or even less. So, I combined like colors. I combined colors that were a shade or two off. Yep, some of you may be gasping. I don’t care about the exact color when I spray so this worked for me. I freed up SO much space by doing this. 

Here are a few “red shades” waiting to be combined! 

I sorted each color of the rainbow and combined the bottles as much as possible. Some weren’t combined because I wanted to keep them “as is” like that bottle of Jack O’ Lantern. LOVE that color!

Once I freed up all of that space, I was able to add my Chalkboard Mists, Perfect Pearls and Dylusions sprays to the shelf…by brand and rainbow order. Of course.
