I see some empty space above the dishwasher.

Save your wedding dress.  You might never wear it again.

Making beds and closing dresser drawers is overrated.

    Put this stuff away or donate it. They don’t need to shop at Costco if they don’t have the space for it. I have had times when the house looked like a disaster but I wouldn’t take pictures of it that way.People I’ve met from other countries are amazed at the amount of stuff Americans have.

    scariest thing in the bathroom picture is all the plugged in appliances on the tub edge

    You can never have too many microwaves in the kitchen, so when the counters are jam-packed with various paraphernalia, I usually use them for storage.

    The Hoarder shows this week inspired me to give away all the gardening stuff I no longer NEED.
    It’s exhilarating!

    My rule is: If you haven’t touched it in 365 days get rid of it! That forces you to clean every item in your house at least once a year if you want to keep it. You’d be amazed how many items can go to Goodwill if you stick to the 365 day rule, and how clean and organized your house can be.

    too much junk OR not enough storage space?

    I too, enjoyed the electrical cords in the bathtub photo. What an exhilerating way to start your morning!
