Today we're organizing the powder room!
If you haven't already, please subscribe for a free, printable 30-Day Spring Tidying Challenge schedule!
Below are my suggestions for how to declutter the powder room:
1. Empty the powder room, including all cabinets.
2. Clean. Sweep or vacuum and mop the floor. Spray clean the mirror, sink and toilet.
3. Decide what to keep here.
Your powder room doesn't need much to be functional. All you really require are: toilet paper, a waste basket, hand soap and a hand towel.
Our teeny-tiny powder room is a work in progress. It has the basics, but doesn't quite feel complete:


You might've noticed we're lacking a wall-mounted tp dispenser and a towel rack. That's because we've yet to find ones we like and have been making due without them. We're planning to add some decorative touches soon, so keep an eye out for that!

This is our tiny little trash bin. It took a while to find one that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb! Simple Human Trash Bin ($19.99, Amazon.com).
Chrome Toilet Paper Caddy ($17.99, Amazon.com).
If our spartan powder room's left you feeling uninspired, here are some powder rooms that don't lack in style:

Image via: The Merry Thought. I love the custom shelving and tp dispenser!
4. Divide everything from the powder room into four groups/bins.
i) belongs in the powder room
ii) belongs elsewhere in the house
iii) fit to donate/sell used
iv) garbage/recycling
5. Return the things you've decided to keep in the powder room and organize neatly.
You may be starting to notice the underlying theme here: the less you hold on to, the easier it is to organize! I can tidy our entire powder room in under a minute!
6. Redistribute the items that belong elsewhere in the home. It's not uncommon for my son to leave toys and reading material in here...Or, at least my husband say's it's our son's...
7. Donate. Take the boxes designated as 'to sell/donate' and put them somewhere out of sight, but accessible (i.e. mudroom or basement). You'll continue to add to these each day for the rest of the month, with the casualties of each day's tidying task. At the end of the month, you can make a trip (or several) to your local donation bank and/or go on an online selling spree.
8. Dispose of and/or recycle items from the designated garbage/recycling bins.

That's your task for day 11! Join us tomorrow for day 12, when we'll target the living room!

The lume plots had been cooked by time and the hands link had certainly seen better days, link but I loved its glossy black dial, long hands, small markers, the internal date cyclops, and the light use of text on link the dial (including the resplendent Automatique on the lower dial).
There I was, an early twenty-something in Atlanta with no prior AD relationship or purchase history (and link no financial means whatsoever with which to start one), walking in off the street to see the pieces I had been reading about on HODINKEE 'in the metal' for the first time. From the moment I stepped inside this fancy Buckhead boutique, I was transported to a world of glossy sales counters link and free link champagne.
It's completely fake news that we guaranteed Zaman a number link from the sale, Guillemin said. "We were approached and put in competition with link the other houses, and we pitched the estimates that were eventually put in the catalog and won with traditional terms." In the initial catalog, there were no notations link that Christie's or a third party had guaranteed the entire sale, which Christie's would've been required to disclose.
Employees were informed of the decision this morning. As for the product and retail environments, Carl F. Bucherer was present in around 250 stores, 50 operated by Bucherer or its US subsidiary Tourneau, which will link slowly link be phased out or swapped with other brands.You can read the link original report here.
The white-metal hands and completely monochromatic coloring underline the platinum's link somewhat more serious and steel-adjacent look and feel. While either of these link versions could be someone's one and only Lange 1, I think we link would be talking about two very different prospective owners.
