Hi Anita, we have a teeny little house and as DIY'ers finding space for all our tools is really hard, so we converted an old metal trunk into a coffee table that hides our tools at the same time - https://acraftymix.com/blog/hide-your-tools-metal-trunk/

Hi Anita - This is one of my favorite articles on cleaning, organizing and decluttering. It really breaks down the steps of the process, and even includes an interview with TV show Hoarders star Matt Paxton. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

We have a full attic and basement and 8 or 9 other rooms and were only ever a family of 3, but we have lived here a long time. . . husband an artist and I did a lot of creative things too., Plus we have a swap shop in our town, so we have stuff! You just have to be ruthless. Watch Marie Kondo and follow her advice, esp about clothing. I am in the midst of doing this just now and it is amazing what I am finding to discard, while still keeping core things. Hang your tools if possible and try not to keep two of things you only need one of.

I’d start in 1 area and take it Day by day so you’re not overwhelmed. Create piles of keep, donate, and toss

Hi Anita, here is how I do it... https://bushraslifestyle.com/declutter-organize-home/

Good luck and please let me know if I can help with anything!

The key is to donate everything you do not love. Most of us have a ton of things we really do not need. Start in one room and donate or trash what you don't love. Organize what is left into clear bins with labels. Simplify is the key to organizing.

I usually make 3 piles: Keep, donate, and trash. I ask myself if I am going to miss it...is there sentimental value. If so, I keep it. If not, I ask myself if it is useful...will someone else use it. If so, donate. If not, I throw it away. I hope this is helpful!

Take it one room or corner at a time. Do not put yourself under pressure to accomplish it all in one day. Good luck!

You need 3 bins, 1 for donate, 1 for keep, and 1 for trash. Start by deciding if you love it or not, if you do you keep it, if you can do without it then donate it. Clutter weighs you down. You won't believe how good you feel when you get rid of half of the clutter.

Set a goal to fill only one bag at a time to donate.

If you are able to fill more than one bag during the session, then terrific! But don't set the first goals too high. For example, if you say to yourself I am going to clean out this whole closet, chances are half way through the task you will find yourself surrounded by stuff that you either forgot you had, or stuff that holds too many emotions. It will be easy to feel overwhelmed, tired, and loose energy for the task.

Any bags that are labelled Donate, take them right away as soon as they are full to a drop off/donation location. Many Good Will locations are open into the evenings, or have large metal containers where you can take your bags 24-7.

Getting rid of the bags as soon as possible instead of letting them pile up where you can see them, or have to keep stepping over them, will give you an immediate sense of accomplishment, instantly more floor/closet space, and will help keep your motivation up to continue to de-clutter your home.

Here are some ideas! Good Luck! https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-best-decluttering-advice-weve-heard_n_5a0c8906e4b0b17ffce1ffb8

You will need to go through everything and create piles to keep/trash/ and donate. Your donated items can go to your front porch and call a donation company like the Breast Cancer pick up or Big Brother Big Sisters to pick up your donated items. I would use bins and boxes to organize the things you are keeping and storing.

It's very overwhelming. I would go through each room one at a time and decide what you will keep/ donate/ toss. Then make piles and only keep what is necessary.
