My Story

My tidying journey began in November 2017. My husband and I were living in and renovating our flat in Richmond with two boys under two.

Our home and garage were filled to the brim with a lifetime of belongings and an ever-increasing collection of children’s clothes, toys, car seats and buggies. Our home felt claustrophobic and stressful and we realised something had to change.

After some research, I came across Marie Kondo's book 'The life changing magic of tidying up'. I read her book in one sitting and immediately started tidying! It took us a year but I found the journey transformative.

We have a deeper appreciation for the things we choose to keep and treat them with the care they deserve. And we are more mindful of what we purchase, thinking carefully about whether they will add value to our lives.

Perhaps most importantly, we spend less time tidying and more time doing the things we love -travelling, pursuing our hobbies, spending time with our family and friends and enjoying living in the space we call home.
