Does Your House Need To Go On A Diet?
July 10th, 2007Do you ever think you need to thin your house down? My friend the other night said she thinks her house needs to go on a diet.
In the kitchen there is probably a table, but it hasn’t been seen for awhile because of all the mail and other paper work that is just left here. She is sure a kitchen counter came with the house. But with all the clutter and stuff it too has been buried.
The bedroom is the catch-all of the entire place. Before going to bed either the clean laundry has to be thrown on the floor or it has to be folded right then. Socks are living under the bed. Dirty clothes are in every corner.
She is embarrassed whenever anyone comes over because there is no place to sit down in the living room. Things and clutter are everywhere. I recommend as a professional home and office organizer that steps be taken to put that house on a diet and get rid of the unnecessary clutter, find homes for what needs to stay and get rid of the rest. It will be hard as diets are hard, but what great rewards await us who put our homes on a well needed diet. The feeling of peace, light and order out weigh any other feeling we may have about de cluttering. Good luck to you and your house.
