When I talk about decanting, I can’t help thinking about the times during my childhood I spent countless hours dumping sand and dirt in and out of buckets and a variety of containers! I used to put my containers in rows and admire my handy work. Now fast-forward to me as an adult, one of things I love to do is…decanting. It is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to easily create more storage, flow and neatness in your pantry. So, where do you start?
Let’s face it: not everyone has a passion for organising like I do! But that doesn’t mean you should completely neglect your organisational duties. Take everyday things that we do around the house such as doing laundry, you might be placing it in the same place(s) for years! Now the next time you do it, try finding better ways of storing your clothing.
One of the things you will notice about me when you first meet me (for a consultation) is that I love taking notes. Ever since my days as an executive assistant, taking down notes is an important way to value others’ ideas while helping me to formulate ways of effectively implementing them into reality. I always ask lots of questions, assess the area to organise and do detailed measurements.
Oprah’s words of wisdom have resonated with me for a long time. And after years of excelling as an Executive Assistant, I decided to pursue something I have been passionate about for a long time—organisation. I love connecting with customers and finding what they need—in assessing their rooms and spaces and providing in-depth suggestions and ultimately putting together a solution which accommodates their unique needs as well as their wallets.
I love to organise, period! However, I tend to focus my expertise on the pantry. It is often one of the most used areas of the house and in saying that—it can become one of the most disorganised spaces too. In this image, I have utilised various cost-effective containers and materials to create an eye-pleasing space for an array of dry goods, foods and liquids.
