How to Unclutter Your Life in One Week – Part 4: The Bathroom & Linen Closet

Tasra Dawson —  January 21, 2010 — 26 Comments

You are hilarious. Yes, I’m talking to you… my blog readers, Twitter followers, and Facebook friends. With your comments about being too afraid to watch the video to the queen of post it notes, you are making me laugh!

So today, I’m going to make you laugh. Seriously. You know what a clean freak I am right? Well, in this episode my hands get a little bit dirty… and we’re in the bathroom… enough said. Just watch it… and laugh. (Sidenote: no laughing at my math skills – or lack thereof!)

You can also see a few BEFORE images below of the bathroom and linen closets that didn’t make the cut in the video, but have been seriously transformed now! Yes, I wrote that correctly… I had two linen closets before. Now I only have 1 and it’s not even full! The last shot is the uncluttered linen closet now. And please remember this is uncluttering, not decorating. So I’m not saying this is the most gorgeous, creative linen closet you’ve ever seen. What I am saying is that I can find what I need and I cleared space in an entire closet for something else!

    So inspiring! Thanks for doing this series, I LOVE IT! So today I think I will get started on my bathroom ;)

      Yay! I want to see before and after pics!

    The 1979 manual was hilarious!! TFS
    Is this what you have in mind for a soap holder? http://ellieshandmadesoap.com/accessories.php They also have a wooden soap holder, which I think you could find at Pier 1 or Cost Plus World Market.

      That's great and definitely along the lines of what I was thinking, but does the bottom pot then get all gooey?

    Ok how cute first off, is your little hair diddle (that's what we call them in my house!) I need a close up and I need to know how you organize those things that need to be displayed because they're so pretty but are a little akward to store (if that makes sense).
    Second I washed my hands twice while watching this…I couldn't help it!

  • lainie9

    You are so darned cute!

      Well now, what's a girl supposed to say to that other than thank you!

  • DSGN

    Excellent job of clearly explaining with your funky sense of humor! Erin's website sent this to us in her blog and I really enjoyed watching your application of her book. WELL DONE! The most important thing I did learn was the distinction between uncluttering, decorating and organizing..and that it is a way of life ..never really done, just continual process of maintaining this.

      You made me smile… you think I have a funky sense of humor? My husband always makes fun of me (in a good way) because I never laugh at the same things he does. :-)

      So glad you got some tips and ideas from the uncluttering videos!

    This is revolutionary stuff! I was decluttering earlier this morning. DUST EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!! I need to continue watching…

    • http://tasra365.com tasra

      Thanks for watching the show! How is your decluttering going?

  • BJ

    Thank you for doing the video series on uncluttering in one week. I am trying to get my house organized and it has been an overwhelming and frustrating process. After watching the videos, I feel like there is hope! I also enjoy your website–so creative and interesting. If possible, I would like to know where to get the plastic boxes that you use for storing makeup. I found something similar but the drawers don't come out. Thank you!

    • http://tasra365.com tasra

      I'm so glad you found some hope and ideas after watching the videos… that was my ultimate goal! The plastic boxes I have for storing makeup I bought at Target a few years ago. Hopefully they'll still have them in stock!

      • BJ

        Thank you for the lead! I did find them online at Target. They listed as “small countertop drawer-6pk.” I will be placing my order soon! Have a great day!

        • http://tasra365.com tasra

          Perfect! So glad you found them!

    Great tips! Thanks for sharing. Now if I could only find the time.

    • http://tasra365.com tasra

      Truth is… you won't ever FIND the time. You gotta make it. For me, I read
      the book and recorded the videos at the end of the year, beginning of new
      year. That's always a time that is a bit slower and we weren't traveling so
      it worked perfectly. Perhaps you could figure out a weekend where you don't
      have as much planned and invite a couple girlfriends over to help you
      unclutter. Always more fun with friends!

    I am ALARMED that you tossed medicines in the garbage – you should take them to the pharmacist to have them dispose of them safely!!!

      Had no idea a pharmacist would take them! Thanks for sharing!
