It looks like no one lives in our house. We have very little "stuff". <BR/><BR/>But I have gotten into it a bit over the years.

Also, take out all the items you're not wearing (but can't get rid of)and put them in a rubbermaid tub and store them. Look at them again in 6 months to a year, I find it easier then to let "stuff" go (usually because I've forgotten I have it). Frankly, I'm living with paths from bed to bathroom to fridge to door ever since I moved to a new apartment this summer, so I'm not really in a position to give advice, but my closet is the only thing clean and organized right now.
