...or something along those lines. The idea has just occurred to me so not fully fleshed out yet, but bear with me...
So I'm imagining a group of 3-4 of us - like-minded people who have fairly similar interiors tastes but could be scattered around the country, maybe with kids of similar ages but not necessarily?? We might be at the stage where our homes have got a bit out of control, and want to get them back to being the elegant, clutter-free havens that we imagine them to be. We'd probably communicate via Whatsapp a few times a week, sharing update pics, giving tips / hints etc. Super informal.
We moved into our house 7 years ago when I was pregnant with DC1 and have done very little absolutely nothing to it since, so it's in need of some TLC. Before we start making things look nice we need to have a big clear-out and are having builders in over the summer - lots to be done. Also, we used to have a super-organised nanny who would re-organise cupboards and cull old clothes etc. in her spare time. But since she left about a year ago things have piled up.
I thought this might be easier with an element of anonymity, hence asking strangers off the internet - I'd be too embarrassed to share the contents of my cupboards with school mums or my NCT group for instance. I would ask my sister for help but she's obsessively tidy so I don't think we'd be a good match. At the other end of the spectrum my mum is a borderline hoarder and has very different tastes to mine!
Would anyone be interested in seeing if this would work? I work best when I have some accountability and have to report back to someone about how I'm getting on. Equally, let me know if it's a ridiculous plan for any reason. Thanks!
