I have lived here 15 years and have always used one of the rooms as a living room and the other as a closet and sleeping area. 3 years ago I started watercoloring and spend several hours a day painting.

Previous maximalist/vintage collector, now chronic pain makes all homemaking/cleaning very difficult
Hi, I would love some advice on de-cluttering/simplifying/cleaning tips. I used to have shelves full of knick knacks, gallery walls, lots of treasures. Now I have fibromyalgia and 3 back surgeries in the last 5 years. I'm trying to limit the amount of stuff on the floors so I can use the robot vacuum. I'm also one of those…

I read post from someone who had taken the brave step to use the chaos decluttering method to organise her things and then read more and now I am hooked.

Bedroom
hello! I have a room with a tiny cupboard that doesn’t actually fit anything in it. My room has a sloped ceiling on one side. Any ideas on how I can add more shelving, hanging areas? I was thinking maybe recessed shelves in the sloped wall side? The room is too small to add a piece of furniture like a cupboard. Thank you!

I need to see my stuff but it is too messy
I have ADHD and find it much easier for me to see what is in my cabinets (clothes, pantry, toiletries) as opposed to putting them in drawers. I fold and stack my t-shirts, jeans, sweaters, etc., but it is unsightly and disorganized looking. I also have a hard time keeping up with housekeeping tasks, no matter how hard I…

What's your favorite piece of storage/organization furniture?

Best fix for a pile of t-shirts
I thought I had solved my bedroom closet T-Shirt problem when I bought these really nice closet storage boxes on Amazon. Unfortunately, I filled them up, and then the pile kept growing.

What's something you know you should declutter, but you just can't?
Even as a decluttering pro, I can admit that there are still some items I just enjoy having one too many of — like coffee mugs, holiday decor and college memorabilia. I try to give myself grace and accept that I'll par those collections down if and when I'm ready, and that's okay. What's something you have a lot of and…
