Basements are often the hidden corners of our homes that become catch-all spaces for things we don’t know what to do with. Over time, they can fill up with boxes of old memories, seasonal decorations, unused furniture, and items we plan to sort “someday.” But that “someday” can easily turn into years of accumulation and a space that feels more overwhelming than functional.

Decluttering isn’t just about clearing physical spaces; it’s an emotional journey that often requires courage, determination, and a whole lot of grace. Over the past year, I’ve worked hard to reclaim my home, creating spaces that bring calm and joy. But even with all the progress I’ve made, some areas still carried anxiety for me. One of the biggest? The garage.

A few years ago, my laundry room was my scary space. No matter how hard I tried to stay on top of it, it always felt overwhelming and cluttered. Honestly, I avoided going in there whenever I could. The room had become a place to stash things I didn’t know what to do with, and laundry—well, let’s just say I dreaded it.

I’m so excited to share this project because it truly makes me so happy! Our front hallway has undergone a major transformation, and I realized how much of the process was shaped by what I’ve learned through my training and from my amazing community. This project reminded me that we get to choose how our spaces make us feel—and I chose joy!
