    My junk room (aka where everything falls when you don’t know where to put it). I started cleaning it today but it desperately needs help as do I. Maybe my garage too. Of course it doesn’t help that I just emptied a storage locker and finished a bathroom remodel, so maybe that doesn’t count so much.

    KEEP IT SIMPLE . . . we moved into our house 10 months ago and have not figured how to make every part of it work for us yet, so there are some disorganized areas like our bedroom and the shelves above the laundry machine.

    We need to de-clutter our basement so can finish off the unfinished portion. Unfortunately that area tends to be the area that things get put because we don’t want to deal with them yet.
