I have realised something since moving to a much larger house with lots of storage. We really do have too much stuff. I always thought that if everything was easily accessible that we would use it, but no that has not happened. I do admit that could be partly due to having young children and not have the time to do things such as sewing, but most of it is just plain clutter. We do not need as much space as we first thought, we need smart storage for those things we do need and multi purpose areas. I would so love to have a specific storage room rather than heaps of storage around the house. A compactus (often used for archiving) would be ideal and minimum storage around the house for the immediate use items.

Need to do another declutter here as it looks as though we will be moving and to a smaller property with very cupboards. Have to be more ruthless this time.
