Simply..my favourite things....

2/5/2017

Since Kondoing most of my home almost all the things left are favourites, but cleaning and refilling these little tea-light holders is also a favourite task.

My equivalent of Sara Berman's amazing cupboard? (Yesterday's post)

What tasks give you most pleasure?

Cleaning the lint off the tumble dryer filter.
Descaling the iron. My new one makes this easy.
Sweeping.
And an odd one this: cleaning the steering wheel with a lavender wipe.
The rest of the car, not so much. I don't think Marie mentions Kondoing the car.

The picture of the tea lights is so satisfying. Indeed, the same sort of satisfaction as the shelves! As I've mentioned before, I know that I'm never destined for a Marie London life, but I'm not giving up, first destination on my list today is the charity shop with the car full of contributions I've been driving around with for a fortnight...

Stacking logs, polishing horizontal wooden surfaces (only if free of clutter), picking up fallen twigs from around the garden to use as kindling, pouring linseeds into a Kilner jar... all of those give me pleasure. Oh, and ironing pillowcases, although I seldom do this.

Ironing is very satisfying to me, especially linen tea towels and napkins..the huge tablecloth..not so much! Making a bed, just right. And very simple. I like a plain, serene bedroom....oh, and cleaning out the whole house and garage, and taking a ton of stuff to recycling..that feels very rewarding.

Creating small spaces of beauty in the house, dividing a bouquet of flowers over different vases, ironing, cleaning the top of my study tables: first removing everything on them, cleaning the surface and then mindfully replacing/arranging what I want on them again,
cleaning the top of the cooker till it shines again. The more I succeed in letting go of stuff the more I enjoy to take care of what I have kept and the more I manage to take care mindfully the more I love my spaces of beauty.
