CAMP declutter – Catch-All Basket

Published by

I have a thing for piles! Piles of paper, piles of books, piles of projects. You name it; I’ve had a pile of it. In my attempt to cull and make pretty (CAMP) the small places I am always looking for a simple solution for a cluttered spot. I mentioned that I’d be working on my sink cabinet this week, well, that project has grown. Redoing that cabinet now includes the two kitchen cabinets and my pantry. It’s all very exciting, I’ll reveal it next week. So for this week, I have a quick fix for us. I was tidying up the dining room this morning, I grimaced at the overflowing papers, that seems to live on a bar stool in my dining room. That’s when I noticed a basket from HomeGoods.

Light up the living room

Sometimes you just have to dip into your own stock and gift yourself. Since Modern June began over 9 years ago, I’ve only made and/or carried things that I’ve wanted or needed. That couldn’t be more true with the new RICE DK goods that I’m selling at modernjune.com! I’ve been a massive fan of the Danish housewares company for years and I’m honored to be selling their melamine cups and bowls! I just had to swipe all three of the latte cups (with matching lids, of course), four bowls and a few packages of paper napkins. Oh yeah, I also grabbed myself a cake server! Yep, I’m my own personal shopper! Guess what, it’s all on sale this week!
