| Which of the following statements best describes your living situation? | Other |
| If “Other,” please elaborate. | I live in an apartment and will be moving in the next two months to an apartment with similar square footage but much less storage and though I have been decluttering, am still worried about how I will make it work. Both apartments are about 800 square feet, which should be plenty, but I like having groups of friends over (up to 20 people). The old apartment is divided into six spaces with a fair amount of storage. The new one is one bedroom, one bath, and a great room with much less storage. |
| 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 got to help design the kitchen for my new apartment, within the confines of the structure, but the only other storage is a small living room closet, bedroom closet,and a shelf above the washer and dryer and open shelves in the bathroom. Since it is a great room, I have no idea where to put my TV, or if I should just get rid of it. I still need to store things like my sewing machine, cooler, lawn chair, and various other sometimes used items. I like a fairly minimal look, but am afraid that it will look too busy having my things mainly in just two rooms. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Is there such a thing as a list for packing order for a move? I feel like most of what I have left unpacked is needed up until the move (sleep, cook/eat, bathroom/hygiene, clothes); but I'm afraid I an leaving too much to the last minute and will be overwhelmed. |
