Folding Socks... the KonMari Way:

6/30/2015

2 Comments

 
So, I'm sure you've heard about Marie Kondo, Japanese Organizing Consultant and Author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. This best-selling guide provides detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), helping you clear the clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home. While I have yet to read the whole book, I have watched a few YouTube videos based on this concept, including her video on folding a perfect underwear drawer. In this quick blog post, I'll share my before and after photos (no, not of my underwear drawer!), but my socks, of which she included in this short video: 
After watching this video, I immediately grabbed my sock bin (that I have in my closet to save drawer space) that was overloaded with socks, started purging the socks I didn't want anymore (DONATE THESE TO HOMELESS SHELTERS - they are the least donated and most needed item there), and folded the keepers the KonMari way...
Before
After
Much better! Now I can grab my fuzzy, comfy socks when my feet are cold without having to dig to the bottom! I had some room leftover for the thin socks I donated, but I never wore them anyway (and they did not "spark joy")! Now I just have what I use and I can see what I have!

Want to buy her book? I do! Here is my affiliate link to Amazon where you can purchase the hardcover today for $10.29 (normally $16.99):

Happy Organizing!

A fabulous sock bin... sounds funny when you think about it! LOL
It doesn't have jewels or anything fancy on it, but I do agree that it is fabulous! :)

What Our Clients are Saying:

"My mother had lived in her home for over 65 years when she passed, so the house was filled to the brim. Nicole and her team were outstanding. They came to the house, presented a plan to remove all of the items through an online auction. They inventoried all items, separated the items into individual lots and managed the auction, down to the last item being paid for, picked up and removed from the house! The payment for their services and transfer of the proceeds was seamless. I was left with an empty house that I could then get ready for sale. Perfect! Couldn't have asked for a better solution to an overwhelming situation!"
