[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 128571, member: 3907"] Oh Jen, I hear you about the giant furniture. Before husband and I met, I lived in a cute little house. I had scaled down furniture, everything was small and just my size. Now that I live in the Land Of Giant Men, all of the furniture is immense. When I sit back on the sofa, my legs stick straight out in front of me. If I want my feet to touch the floor, I have to perch on the edge. Enough about that... One thing that I have found helps tremendously is storage. And there are so many inexpensive things you can do to create more storage. Little cubbies with labels. Hooks on the walls at various heights for the tall and the small, pantry organizers, etc. I found a collection of boxes at the Dollar Store (2 for $1), that have places to put little labels. I have them on counters, shelves...anywhere that little things collect. Little easy child has boxes for their pencils and homework stuff, husband has little boxes for his computer gear that would otherwise be all over every flat surface. When it's time to clean up, they just throw everything in their little box and put it back on the shelf. Makes tidying up much easier for them, because they don't have to break down the task. And it makes life easier for me because I don't have to look at the mess. I know that the last thing you want to do is to add more stuff into the clutter, but if you can come up with a system that helps you it's worth it. All the best, Trinity [/QUOTE]
