I'm waiting for the holiday visitors to leave tomorrow before I join the de-cluttering- notice how I avoided the 2009 thread altogether? We still have to finish building 2 rooms in this house before I'll really feel able to start it. For now, the bath towels are all in one laundry basket, the clean sheets live in another one. There is one side of the big upstairs filled with chairs, side tables, and old clothes. The other side is the "workshop", but it is also full of futon and one of the visitors. I hope to be able to spend the rest of the winter sorting out the combined clutter of two households blending into one. I'll need to have some cooperation and assistance from my DH, who finds it harder than me to let go- but we'll manage, somehow!
