Konmari Method = More Space for Ponies!

[DrEsmeRose]

So I just started going through the Konmari method for tidying up at the beginning of the month.
As a result I have much more room in my closet to actually display my ponies.

This first photo is the "before" with my clothes already organized, three giant trash bags donated, and that remaining box and bag to go to curbside.
All the pony and other toy stuff on the floor is a portion of what I had moved or set aside while tidying.

Here is the result. A wall of G4 pony, with HQG1 customs in the brown "boxes", some 35th Ann. singles, and the entire G1 TAF collection in the black display case.
I had been struggling to contain them in my two glass display cases (see post history for view of my entire G1 collection). So it was time to move the TAFs to their own space.

And here is the rest of my MIB toy collection, with some extra G4 toys added in!

Oh wow, what a beautiful display!  Seriously, I had a gasp when I scrolled down and saw your pic.  Your clean out was definitely worth the effort

Wonderful job!

[Shaiyeh]

Aaah that turned out wonderful!
Also, had a bit of a chuckle reading the title. That's the right way of thinking ;D Your display definitely sparks joy ^^

Very nice! 

I love my Wall of Happy but I think it's time to go through it and put some things into storage

Good job! I bet you enjoy your collection much more now that it's organized and you can see them better.
I didn't use the Konmari method but have been applying principles of minimalism to my life the past few years. Tidying up really does make such a difference in many ways.

I love your pony display.

Thank you! It was so worth the effort! It also gave me the space in my main display cabinets to give my Big and Baby Brothers two shelves instead of being cramped into the big bottom shelf.

I agree so much! My journey started with wanting to lose weight, then I wanted to look professional, so I researched professional wardrobes. I stumbled across minimalism and capsule wardrobes. So I parsed down my closet and pinned a ton of ideas. Then I purchased off Amazon what I still needed and developed my wardrobe from there. After that, I learned about the Konmari method, purged a ton of items that didn't bring joy, and now this. I feel so much light both physically and mentally thanks to taking a more positive and proactive approach to my life.

I love that you call it a Wall of Happy, and your avatar is seriously the cutest one I have ever seen! It reminds me of the Cutie Mark Crew items Hasbro is currently selling.

That display is fantastic. Am halfway through episode four and have already started cleaning. Wishing you all the best as you continue forward.

     I love your collection and how it is organized! Hmm...perhaps I should try this cleaning and declittering thing.

[NightGliderSA]

What a lovely interpretation of that method!

I have been a minimalist my whole life! But there was no name for it back then. It makes me happy to see that many people are turning to a more simple life. But I also worry if this is just a passing fad that will died. I have been reading there are many donation sites that have been overloaded and telling people to stop bring things. This has started after this show started on the first of the year! I would love to watch it but I do not have Netflix.

But to get on a positive note! I am very happy that you have gone threw your things. And now are able to show off your ponies! Having a more simple wardrobe also will bring more peace to your life! There is less that you have to pick from. It will cost you less in washing them also! I keep mine simple with no crazy bright colors! But you can do any color that bring you joy! There is no set rules to this!

I love having only what brings me joy in my home!

Keep up the great work!
