A Life Decluttered

What do you get when seven eager professional organisers gather to declutter a competition winner's kitchen and wardrobe? A full day of fun, and one very organised home!

In the May/June Issue we offered up a Dymo Declutter Makeover and Kim Russell from Padstow (NSW) won the prize and welcomed members from the Australasian Association of Professional Organisers into her home in the hope they could help declutter her life. As a result seven declutter queens – Sarah Cottman, Susan Blake, Belinda Grundy, Linda Eagleton, Ingrid Wilson, Charlie Chapman and Kat Tate – all pulled out their Dymo labellers to organised Kim's space.

The Declutter queens worked in two groups to whip Kim's kitchen and wardrobe into shape. Their first task was to find out what Kim needed from each area and how many people the spaces needed to serve. Once assessed, they started to categorise all items 'to keep' and 'to go'.

Four hours later every item was sorted, containerised and labelled, creating a clutter-free haven for Kim to enjoy throughout her current pregnancy and beyond.

'The makeover was fabulous,' says Kim. 'The team arrived on time and went straight to work reorganising my cluttered kitchen cupboards and disorganised wardrobe. The results were fantastic! I've gained extra storage space and have managed to rid myself of stuff that was adding to the clutter. I was most impressed with the professionalism of the team; they constantly consulted with me before making any changes, using my input in their decision making. It was a real joy to watch the transformation take place. Thanks so much for the opportunity once again. It has made a huge difference to an area that has been bothering me for years.'
