[quote=Anonymous]I'd start with your living/family room space, the powder room,  and the getting the kitchen tidy.  These are the places that the family and guests spend the most time in.   If you have a playroom add that too.

First, get rid of any trash and paper clutter you don't need.  Then, put things that don't belong in those rooms in a separate pile. Put the things that do belong in those rooms in their proper places. For example, pillows on the sofa, remotes on the tv stand, pens in a drawer, cracker box in the pantry and so on.  Next, go around and clean all the counters and tabletop spaces.  Once that's done, work on the floors.  Sweep, vacuum.  In the powder room, give the sink a quick wipe down and the toilet a quick swish.

This should be enough to at least have some friends over, just make the upstairs or the bedrooms off limits and encourage outdoor play.  Once you have more time, get to the items that were placed in that separate pile and start putting them in places they belong (shirts in the hamper, books on the bookshelf or bedroom, etc.). Throw out things you need to think too long about.

Later, for your closet.  Start organizing and cleaning it with a big bin next to you.  Throw clothes that are out of style, unworn for a long time, too small or too big in the bin to donate.  Then separate all your winter and summer clothes.  Get an idea of how much space you will need for your clothes and if you cannot make it work in your space call a couple of closet people to get estimates.  Or get those double hanger things that will increase your hanging space and a dresser for the things you won't hang.

Good luck OP, I know how you feel I've been there.
