The "Forever Place"

I have been trying to downsize a bit. I have piles of items that can be

1. thrown away
2. donated to one of many local charities
3. put away in their "forever" place

I have bought a few shelves and moved a few dressers in an attempt to make a place for every item when it is not in use.

I started with this.


messy room

After a bit of cleaning, vacuuming, and shampooing it was time to move everything back into the room. This time the goal was to have a place for each item to help reduce clutter.

What do you think?


This is the room all cleaned up.
This is the closet which is now my shipping and packaging station.


I think I did a fabulous job and I intend to keep the room looking neat. It really is a lot easier to work in a room that is not cluttered.
