I had to laugh reading all of the responses. Everyone has mentioned shelves and baskets and closets- mine is an entire room- by bedroom. That's where everything goes. Doesn't belong anywhere? Put it in Mom's room! Company coming and stuff all over? Put it in Mom's room! Can't find a place for it? Put it in Mom's room! I have everyone's clothes, shoes, toys, storage items, keepsakes, books, and random stuff covering pretty much every surface of my room. It's just so easy to shut the door and ignore it that now it's ridiculously piled up. I guess that means it's time for a deep clean! (My kid and husband HATE deep cleans- we move all furniture, rugs, everything and clean on top, under, in, behind, in front and beside everything. Everything finds a home or goes away with the garbage/ freecycle people)
