[quote=Anonymous]Yes, we live in a small house (850 sq ft) and decluttering and keeping clutter free is really necessary.

In the kitchen:  reduce the number of cups and glasses that you have. Keep 2 for each family memeber and a couple extra for guests.  If you don't drink coffee or tea at home very often or at all, keep a couple mugs for company but get rid of the rest. Water bottles - reduce to a few.  Get rid of the plastic freebie types and only keep sturdy, quality bottles. When you go to events and fairs, do not take the freebie cups and water bottles that are handed out.  Weed through your silverware and utensil drawer and get rid of anything you don't use at least once a week. Don't save it "just in case".  Look at your pots and pans. Be reasonable - how many do you actually need to cook with in a week. A way to figure out is for one week clean and wash and put the ones you use on a table out of the way. At the end of the week, evaluate the ones that are left in the cabinets.  Bakeware - keep a couple good cookie sheets, a cake pan or two and then really thing hard about keeping any speciality pans. Can you recall the last time you used it?  If not, toss it.  Speciality kitchen appliances - if it hasn't been used in the past year, let it go.[/quote]
