Up On The Shelf

What Do You Have Up On Your Closet Shelf?

You may have old photo albums, towels, rugs, clothing, sheets and pillows, hats, gloves, and much more. When we put things up on the very top shelf, we may forget what we have stored away there. If I haven’t used something for ten years or more, I discard it, as I’m unlikely to want to use it again.

Dishes, Bowls, and More On Your Kitchen Cupboard Shelves

I have gone through my kitchen cupboard shelves and eliminated many items that I never used, which were just in the way, as I had to clean them when I cleaned my kitchen cupboards. We all have a favorite set of dishes, mixing bowls, and glasses that we always want to use without fail. I sold items that I no longer used, or I gave them to a charity of my choice.

Pots And Pans In Kitchen Cupboards And More

We have favorite pans for frying, boiling, or sautéing foods. Sometimes, when a new type of skillet comes along, we prefer it to our old one. I like to help someone who has lost everything due to a fire or other disaster by donating any extra pans that I have.

Curio Cabinet

We can have too many curios where the shelves look too full. Get rid of any curios that you have become tired of, as that will show off your collection much better than a jammed pack curio cabinet. I love cat curios the most, so I kept all of those.

Books In Your Bookcase On The Shelves

If you have finished reading some of your books, give them away. All of us have favorite books that we can read over and over again without ever tiring of them. If you have a favorite old book, consider giving it to someone who will treasure it as much as you do. I hope you never leave your Bible on the bookcase shelf, as you should read passages from the Bible frequently. The Bible is a book that guides us through life, helping us to distinguish right from wrong and to be kind, compassionate, and considerate to all we meet on life’s journey. The Bible remains relevant to us today, as people continue to face the same problems and challenges in their lives that they have faced for many years.

Basement Sheeving

I have paint, work tools, cleaning compounds, lightbulbs, and small appliances on some of my basement shelves. I have a cupboard in my basement that contains paint, clothes, curtains, rugs, hats, work gloves, and an electric teapot. I have another cupboard that includes light bulbs, toasters, a coffee maker, and other miscellaneous items. We all need places to store things, but it’s essential to avoid storing too much, as this can lead to clutter and disorganization. Clean your sleeves and ensure that the things that you treasure reach the people you want to share them with, or you keep them. Declutter often, as you will have a tidier home, and it will be much easier to keep clean.
