unclutter time

i've been thinking about my packrat problem recently, then i saw this post today. i guess it is time to get started. in some ways, i have been helping my husband do this in the kitchen already. and we are planning a major rearrangement of the house, so a good decluttering first would make things easier. it has helped that we live in a tiny house, so there is a manageable amount of stuff. the targets will be my office (to be converted to the dining room, which i think will actually help me work there more) and the shelves of papers and other junk from college. it would be nice to have more storage space in the basement and that's the only way to get it.
