The need to clean

I'm at this point right now where I just want to remove all additional clutter from my home. In order to achieve this, I want to (finally) organize our DVD collection, and weed through my book and CD collections. 

Don't get me wrong. I love owning CD's and LOVE owning books (I hate owning DVDS because I think it's far simpler to just rent a movie when you want to watch it rather than own it) but these items just don't make sense to keep around when you have such limited space.

A few weeks ago I did an overhaul of my closet and condensed my clothing collection from two closets to one. Now as I purchase new clothes I'm asking myself if I'm really going to wear this item a lot and if I believe it's really worth the money I'm spending on it. Will it wash well? Will I get a lot of wear out of it? Is it an item that fits my personal style or am I just trying to follow a trend.  I went through the same process with my shoes and was able to get my shoe collection down to just 12.

Once I'm able to clean out and de-clutter (this process also involves getting rid of silly knick knacks), I hope to re-organize our large walk in closet so that it can serve as a more functional storage space.

So much to do. Such big ideas. So little time.
