Most homes you visit usually all have the same problem. I even bet your home does too. It's hard to make a house look neat and tidy when it's loaded with CLUTTER.
And I'm sure you think you know the answer to your clutter problem because you've heard it so many times before. "There's a place for everything and everything should be in it's place."
We'll I'm not that kind of chick. You see, more often then not "a place for everything" to me means...the trash can. THROW. IT. AWAY. If you haven't used it since you've moved in together. GET. RID. OF. IT. Or you're Great Aunt Susie left you 17 porcelain dolls that are now crowding up your closet space. TOSS. THEM. And if you haven't wore a sweater during the whole winter season... PITCH IT. ALL 18 OF THEM. The less you have, the more organized and crisp your home will look.
Oh and by the way, people will notice.
