[quote=Anonymous]The efficiency I used to live in had a huge closet, so I took the doors off and put my bed inside. It fit EXACTLY. Made a big difference.

Build UP the walls, instead of around the room. Organizers that reach high up, shelves installed in the walls, things like that.

Purge like mad, and make everything you own do double-duty.

I used these Ikea shoe-boxes as organizers for my kitchen - ran them straight up the wall. Google the Trones ones. I put sippy cups in one, plastic bags/aluminum foil in one, etc. I had a whole wall of them - 5 by 5. You can use them in whatever pattern you want.

Tidy every night after your son goes to bed. He will learn to sleep through it. You can download podcasts and ebooks (free ones) and listen on headphones at night. Or buy those headphones through which you can hear the TV and use those when he sleeps.

Divide the room up somehow, google or look around on pinterest for using bookshelves to do it. There are a million good ideas.

You and your son have each other, and though things are rocky now, you are going to do great. If downsizing means your stress level is reduced, do it and embrace it as a challenge. Sending you all my best.[/quote]
