OrGaNize IT!

Toss, Donate or Keep!
Toss: If it is broken, beat up, or something you would not give to anyone else
Donate: If it is something in good condition but you don't use it any longer
Keep: If it is something that you use at least every 6 months to a year
Does it Make sense? Stand back and look at your living room, kitchen, bedroom, etc.  Do you have items in a room that work together?  Example: Party dishes taking up room in your pantry while you are storing food in a closet...hmmmm.
Double duty: Baskets, decorative boxes, and shelving are great double duty items.  You can have a lovely decorated home while at the same time hiding all that clutter!
Its Not What You Think: Look at what you have in your home.  Look at items with fresh eyes.  What might they be used for other than what you are using them for?
Long Time Storage: Storage bins are the best way to store long term items.  They keep items clean, organized and with easy accessibility.  Mark them and store them with like items.
