Eversince I received my personal shipment from Singapore, I've had mixed feelings. Woa, where did all this stuff come from? Did I just have shopping diarrhea or what?
Some items made me extremely happy such as my foldable mattress and some other items simply exasperated me (e.g. random notebooks. Argh why??). However, the items that was the most overwhelming were my shoes, dresses, tops, jackets, socks, undergarments, scarves, and belts. Aih..what am I going to do with you?
Mind you, I do not intend to buy wardrobes. I hate them. I'm sure others will argue that wardrobes protect clothes from getting dusty and helps one to organize their clothes. It doesn't work for me. All it does is encourages me to hide clutter and takes up space.
What did I do?
Looking forward to applying more DIY and organization tips to my new Mumbai home! X3 X3

What did I do?
This garment rack is a little too overloaded. I plan to buy one more.
I did not know how useful this shoji divider would be at the entryway. It blocks the storage room door and serves as a clothes rack after I added some hooks on top.
....Yes, I have too many shoes. One shoerack is obviously not enough. The other rack consist of shoeboxes that I've carefully arranged. I am thinking of getting a 2nd shoerack but I'm holding off that urge in favor of an alternative DIY shoerack idea. In the meantime, I am pleased with how IKEA Komplement can also be used to hang my heels. The inspiration is from the ladder shoerack (google it!). It's nice that I don't need to go look for wooden ladders anymore. Uh...actually, I still would but that's for another DIY project.
This DIY consist of some ropes, curtain hooks and an extra curtain metal rod. It doesn't make the bedroom look minimalist but at least, everything is organized and off the floor.
These plastic zipper bags were used for moving and storage purposes. They are quite cheap (i.e. SGD 3-5) and can be bought at the little 'pasars'. I had selected different colored bags just for fun but after some brainstorming, I realize that I could use them to sort my dirty clothes by colors (e.g. darks, reds/pinks/purples, yellow/browns, and whites) and then, carry them to the laundry room. Nice!
