I'm with Jessica... seriously fill two garbage bags full a day for a week. At the end of 7 days you'll have thrown out 14 bags worth of crap. Don't tell me you need all that stuff. If it hasn't been used within a year it goes in the trash or put it on Freecycle.org. If you have no takers it goes in the trash the following trash day. No if's and's or but's about it. I do this to each room at least twice a year. If not more.
It's really hard not to have a room like that. And it's really, really hard to do something about it. But I got to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore. I decided that I would do a "project" every weekend until I was satisfied. My "office" looks so much better now I actually like to hang out in there, hehehe. This weekends project is my "closet", eeewwwww, I been putting that one off for three weeks now. Set your mind and time to it and you'll feel so much better. The worse part? Keeping it that way.
My son and I live on a farm in Iowa with a menajarie of other animals. On a good day our life runs like a smooth three ring circus. On a bad day one of the elephants escapes and charges the crowd. Please join us in our adventures, just watch where you step.
