✨ Task: Restyle One Area
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a corner in my home that I’ve been wanting to change for a while! I wanted to remove a side table to repurpose elsewhere and add some plants to the corner. Cause I feel like I’m getting really clever lately and I’m keeping real plants alive😉🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Interestingly, the colour green has been noted to have calming effects, so maximise on this and bring nature indoors to make your home comforting and relaxing 😌

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chances are, you may have a space or corner in your home that’s looking a litte drab. Perhaps it's paperwork on top of side tables in the hallway, clothes + books in a corner of your bedroom, a blank wall that needs a picture, or a piece of furniture that’s no longer working for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little bit of restyling and organising can help to freshen and brighten up this space. Even just spending 15 minutes can make a big difference! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨ Task: Clean + Tidy The Shower
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know me, I like to organise all types of areas! Junk drawer, utensil drawer, dirty washing- I even organise the shower.  Especially with 3 teenage kids there can end up being quite a bit of product lingering in the shower. Organising makes the shower easier to clean too! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My kids like to keep all their body washes and face scrubs in the shower and just add to it, they also each like a different type of shampoo. So there are a lot of bottles in their shower. I like to keep all products up off the floor to make cleaning as easy as possible. I had an over shower holder, but it would rattle and then went rusty. So when I saw the iHook Shower Caddy I was eager to try it out!

✨ Task: Tidy Pantry
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have just recently given my pantry a makeover. I like to keep all items in my pantry in containers, I throw out the bulky packaging and this utilises the space in my pantry really well. I’ve removed all the Tupperware from my pantry and replaced with OXO, which you can purchase in my shop @organisedhq (currently up to 40% off). I have put the old containers I was using away for my twins as I am sure they are going to be moving out sometime in the next few years.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do have a lot of containers- I like to cook, bake and create and share recipes with The Organised Housewife community. I like to always have everything readily available. I am absolutely loving my new pantry! So easy to see what food levels I have and what needs replenishing in the next grocery shop. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've filled my pantry with a lot of different sized containers to suit a variety of food. There are specific containers that fit particular foods perfectly! I've created a cheat sheet to help you know what container is best for which foods! Free download in the link in my bio 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How did you go with today's task? What do you struggle with in your pantry?
