Clear plastic totes and bins, matching in size stack well, are less likely to topple over and you can see what’s inside. A tall waste can is ideal for rolls of gift wrap or for storing decorative floral stems.

Want to tackle the clutter project but scratching your head? Where do you begin? How long will project take? Ugggh! Find a room in the house for your ground zero…a room or space that won’t matter if it’s messy for a short time. Empty out the space to be organized…clean it… and as you put it back together PURGE. Sort carefully as you go. Have you used item in last year? Will you use it? Time to put guilt aside… this is where a professional organizer can help… no emotional ties, practical solutions and before you know it voila’! project done and you will feel so much better!
Having a hard time discarding items? Repurpose them. Send left overs home with guests on a dinner plate you don’t expect returned… pick fresh flowers for those accumulated vases and cheer up a friend. Make a JUICE box – Just Unused Inputs, Cords and Electricals… then this stuff doesn’t clog drawers and outlets. Ship a lot of gifts? Shred those piles of paper and use the shreds for packing.
“Firefighters say piles of debris made the attempt to rescue the victim riskier and more difficult…” sad but true headline. Don’t let this happen to you!
A house lined with towers of magazines and newspapers makes it nearly impossible for rescuers to access victims and firefighters are encountering this often. Homes choked with excessive contents hinder their work! Typically a fire doubles in size every two minutes, but in a space chock full of things, fires mushroom every 30 seconds.
A clutter-filled house is a dangerous house, but: “A house is a home when it shelters the body and comforts the soul.” – Phillip Moffitt
