I don’t need much…
At least that’s what I keep telling myself. I’m constantly looking for items that reduce their footprint in my home and ways to reduce my apparent need for more items. It’s like an addiction. And I find myself reminding myself that if I haven’t looked in that box for six months, it’s likely I never will. Why do I keep all this junk!? For those that are long time readers, you might remember my previous posts regarding my clutter. I’m still fighting the battle. My hopes rest on the ability to move into something like a Katrina Cottage or maybe a traditional brownstone. Trust me, I won’t miss the eight room, three bath monster that so many people insist on owning. The thought of cleaning it makes me want to faint!
In the meantime, I continue to look to IKEA, Apartment Therapy, and the wonderful Unclutterer to help me reach those goals. Anyone have some nifty ideas that they use? I’ll take most anything into consideration!

We’re in the same boat. I am currently in the process of shoveling out my closet and my bedroom, and I’m aghast at how much crap I have let myself accumulate. Oh, and I like FlyLady.

I grew up in a house with 20 large rooms…. I now live in a studio apartment and I am completely content here.

Speaking of IKEA, the one in Oregon isn’t even in GPS map by NavTek! Had a hell of a time looking for it the past Sunday, and I’ve never seen so many people in one place… I’d barely move! And what’s up with self-service???
