Does it bring you joy?

Declutter your life with consignment

When it's time to declutter, what do you do with it all? One way to make quick work of decisions is to make three piles:

1. Consign Yay!! This is where we come in. Bring us furniture, home accessories, and decor that you no longer need in your life but that at one time, brought you great joy. Because, just when you can no longer use it, someone else is looking for that very thing.
2. Donate These are things consignment shops don't carry. The linens, the knick-knacks, toys, books, and dishes.
3. Trash That's easy, it's had its time, its given it's all, and its done done done. Paper, bits and pieces of mismatched stuff, anything broken or chipped, don't overthink it, just let it go :)

At Better Than New you may have heard me recommend. "Take the 10 Things Challenge"

  • Turn on the music ~ Alexa, play Thunder! Whatever motivates you to get moving, lol. Thunder just happens to be both of my nephew's favorite song.
  • Pour yourself a drink & treat yourself! Tea, wine, lemonade? Something yummy.
  • Start your piles! Dance around the house and don't stop till you find 10 things you can live without.
Before long, your clutter will be gone... and you know what that means... Room for More!
