I'm busy organizing a storage space for a home owner just now. Sometimes it seems like we are making more of a mess as "stuff" gets hauled out.
As each item is hauled, the homeowner has to decide to keep it, give it away, sell it, or throw it out. She has enough work deciding on her own items, but there are other family member's belongings there too and they aren't present.
There are many things they aren't ready to part with, like her husband's 30-year-old shoe forms that he never uses.
The work is tedious and not only physically challenging but emotionally and mentally taxing.
Each item gets put into a space in another room, the floors are swept. Then the system is chosen based on what is left. Shelving or cupboards are rearranged or new ones added and items are re-stored in eye-pleasing and practical containers.
This is my day today and tomorrow. How about you?
