    I live in a 700 sq ft, two bedroom condo with my husband, 2 year old daughter and our cat. EVERY AREA within our space could use some de-cluttering and un-complicating.

    I could definitely use some help organizing and trying to figure out the next steps to take in our home renovation! Do we develop the basement? Or make minor changes to the kitchen? Or build a whole new kitchen??

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! My whole life and my entire home could use uncomplicating but I’d start with the kitchen first. Most of my collectible addictions (aka clutter and junk)are focused on the kitchen – gadgets, Pampered Chef, aprons, cookbooks, coffee mugs, refrigerator magnets, early American kitchen tools, even plastic storage containers seem to multiply like rabbits in my kitchen!
