PronounsShe/her
Which of the following statements best describes your living situation?I live in a small home where limited space for living and storage tends to cause issues throughout.
Describe rooms or areas of your home in which the lack of available space makes living, storage, decluttering, and/or organizing challenging. Be as specific as you can.I often have to store things away from the point of use so that every area doesn’t become cluttered and visually messy.
Currently I am at my clutter threshold and the thought of birthday/Christmas gifts coming in a few months stresses me out!
It’s also a busy time of year for me work-wise so I have less mental space for my physical space right now.
Part of the current problem is I am still recovering from whiplash I got in April. Since seasonal things have to be rotated either up top my wardrobes (requiring a stepstool then twisting while lifting moderately heavy storage bins) or awkwardly humped down three flights of tightly spiralled stairs down to the dark dank cellar. (How dark? I need to wear a headlamp even with all the cellar lights on) I tend to use Ikea totes over my shoulders to carry things like my summer fans or Christmas decorations up and down. I will delay the cellar-related tasks for as long as possible because it’s such a PITA.
I work hard to follow the William Morris idea of beauty/utility but with no built-in storage everything is tricky.
