I still intend to write a post on my “lessons learned” from the entire “Unclutter Your Life in One Week” process, but first I must share the pinnacle. As I mentioned before, we have a large master bedroom, but it’s an uninspired shape (long and rectangular). Ever since the day we moved in, we’ve used [...]

Whew! Day One of the “Unclutter Your Life in One Week” proved more difficult than I expected.

…sort of. While not entirely finished, I did manage a Photo “really made loads of progress so that what remains is very manageable.” If you recall from Saturday’s post, step 1 of the “Unclutter Your House in One Week” is to spend the weekend prior clearing out and organizing “sentimental clutter” – photos, letters, cards, [...]
