Adding more things into our house made me think, many times over the past few days what it would be like to be in a house where you had enough storage for everything. Nice and tidy. A place for everything. We would drive past big homes and I would think to myself, I bet they have a place to put their stuff away. They probably even have cupboards that are empty and heck they probably even have extra rooms.
But then I was thinking, it’s not really the size of the house, it’s the amount of crap we have in ours. If I got rid of all the things we don’t use and all the things we have extra of, we’d have plenty of space. Craigslist and ebay, here I come.
If anyone needs anything let me know. And The Husband better stay out of my way.

I love to purge and clean out things from my house. Husband and I have already filled our new house and I often wonder what it will be like with kiddos.
I'm with you. I need to declutter!
Hmmm...I could use a treadmill - got a spare one lying around? ;)
I know what you mean about clutter - it always gets to me after Christmas, between the decorations still up and all the extra new stuff. It is a good time to purge - Goodwill loves me, I swear!
Ohhh, to have more room would be wonderful, wouldn't it? We have way too much stuff as well, but even if we pared it down, living in a house that's under 900 square feet, there would never be enough room I fear. Also, we have a bad habit of garage saling. And if we find a good deal on something, we just have to get it!
Good luck on your decluttering!
Oh yes - clutter! Getting rid of old stuff makes me feel SO much better. And don't kid yourself about bigger houses - the kind I've been in have no empty spaces, Remember, nature abhors a vacuum.
You might get a good price for the husband. Keep us posted.
Time for me to declutter too. Of course, I got to take the Christmas tree down first!
Trust me, a larger living space doesn't work. One just accumulates more clutter to fill it. The key is regular uncluttering, something which I am SO due for, LOL!
Keep what you use or love... get along without the rest.
Here's to de-cluttering in the New Year!
I LOVE de-cluttering. It's so refreshing to get rid of a bunch of stuff we don't need! Good luck.
