We had the pleasure of decluttering and organizing the kitchen of Celebrity Mom Blogger and Model Amanda Griffin Jacob. She had just moved to a new condo unit with a kichen that had been renovated in a beautiful white and gray color palette.

This is PART 2 of the Transformations in my Virtual Decluttering Client Deslie’s Home. Yesterday I showed you PART 1. This was an amazing opportunity to help a fellow mama overcome the clutter that seems to overwhelm us at certain points in our lives, through virtual coaching because Deslie was all the way in the USA and I am currently based in the Philippines.

Deslie was a fellow member of the Glam-O-Mamas Discussion Group, a group thirty-four thousand plus members by celebrity mom Amanda Griffin Jacob. In the group she shared that she was desperate and overwhelmed by her clutter and feeling hopeless. I was very flattered when Amanda told her that she might want to get in touch with me for help. Deslie’s post really touched me, because I could so relate - the mental load for housework is still mostly on women in many countries - and I wanted the opportunity to virtually coach her to declutter, because Deslie was all the way in the USA, and I am currently based in the Philippines.

Tanya has been the caretaker to some furniture pieces, that had been with their family since they were children. But nobody was using or enjoying them. These beautiful vintage solid Narra were just sitting in the dark in an unused house. So instead after a family meeting to make sure that nobody in the current or future generation would want to have them, the family decided it was time to let go, to perhaps make space for new pieces.

When we move to a new place, it really puts things into perspective, because when you see the old ratty stuff that you have been hanging on to for years beside freshly painted walls and new furniture, you suddenly realize that it no longer fits your new space or style.  

A life well lived is also a life with tons of photographs. In today's digital age, we don't necessarily have to print individual photos (unless we want to frame them), because we can create beautiful photobooks that capture our most treasured memories. However a certain generation... ahem... still has a lot of photos from the past. So how do we organize all the different sizes including the film so that they can be preserved and enjoyed?
