Organizing My Home For The New Year

Posted on Jan 21, 2010 under home, me, shopping | 3 Comments

Chinese New Year is less than a month away.  It is time to make way for good luck and fortune in the coming year. The Chinese always believe that it is very important to give the house a thorough cleaning to clear away rubbish and sweep away all the misfortune.   It is also equally important to de-clutter the home and get organized.  I plan to do so very soon and one of the biggest problem areas in my house is my living room.  When you have a kid, there is bound to be toys everywhere.  There are also a number of cellphones and bunches of  keys sitting on the top of our console table.  Besides those things, sometimes there are paper clips, hair clips and what-have-yous on the table.  One word – Messy.   I want to get this area organized with great discounts from Organized.com.   I just saw some fabulous basket containers from Organized.com.  These stunning square baskets are made from hand woven pandan and are just perfect for me to put all the cellphones, keys and knick-knacks in.   I can even use the large one to keep the toys.  I love the colour red on these storage baskets as red is an auspicious colour for the Chinese New Year.  I cannot wait to get my home organized in time to welcome the new year.

    yan was asking me the other day, whether i’d started my cleaning to welcome CNY. i do my housechore every weekend, hence i don’t find it necessary for any BIG cleaning.
    and now, since you said it’s a good ritual for luck and fortune, i might reconsider to do spring cleaning :D
