Comfort in the Ease
Rest assured that you are almost done with your de-cluttering endeavor if you have made it to the basement or attic. On top of that you can start to take comfort in knowing that these particular rooms are some of the easiest to organize. Think about it: most everything in the basement or attic was placed there to stay there. Most likely, you won’t be hauling around a bunch of trash to get the job done.
Still, there are a lot of obstacles to overcome when it comes to de-cluttering these spaces. Heating, cooling, and plumbing implements need to be avoided at all times. Organizing your space may turn out to be easier if you block these things, but after a while the poor decision can wreak havoc on the rest of your house.
You can easily organize and de-clutter your basement and/or attic by both getting real about what needs to be kept and by figuring out the best placement for every item or box. If you do it right, you might also discover some forgotten relics. Better yet, a clean and organized basement or attic might help you to find some extra cash, especially if you are still planning on having that rummage sale.
