I live in a very small space. After hauling all my stuff in an across country move I found myself in a home that is ¼ the size of the one I left behind. Even after furnishing the neighborhood with my excess. My home still had a cluttered look. There are very hard choices to be made. Do you keep stuff that has sentimental value? If so how are you going to hide it? Will my son someday be surprised that I kept the clay pot that he made in second grade? I’ve displayed as many of my treasures as I can. But in order to keep some, like crocheted items that my dad and grandma made, I put them in plastic under the bed containers. Rubbermaid makes great containers. My mom was a quilter I have several hand made quilts. Storing them is a challenge and it is not recommended that they be stored in plastic. I use them in the winter and store them in space saving storage for the warm season. This works wells for seasonal clothing as well. To save money I inspect my clothing, keep and launder those that are still wearable.
