Cluttered no more: Getting rid of what you don’t need

If you’re like me, you don’t have enough storage space in your house. The closests are full, the cabinets are full, the basement are the garage are full. Simply put, there’s no where to put everything.
The problem, however, probably isn’t our lack of storage space, but our inability to get rid of things we don’t need. Well, no more. This weekend I am going to celebrate Labor Day by cleaning out my clutter! I am going to be merciless, anything that I haven’t used in the last year, anything I don’t like, anything that takes up too much space is going to be gone. And at the end of the weekend, after the dust clears, I will have a clean and uncluttered house.
In celebration of this, my next few posts will be all about how to get rid of clutter in your home. I’ll be sharing some ideas of my own, and a few I’ve found on the web. And now, to kick off our clutter-busting right, is a story that can inspire all of us. Real Simple magazine features a woman living in an historic house that had no closets. NO CLOSETS! If she can make it work, and with four kids no less, then we should all be able to do it.
Happy cleaning!
