My pain point *is* the donation pile! With growing kids and lots of activities there are often piles of Fresh Direct bags full of stuff needing attention in our apartment. I’m often tempted to just throw everything in the trash because I don’t have the space or energy to thoughtfully get rid of things.

I'm in! I've been tackling a lot of small corners (the mudroom, closets, kitchen cabinets) lately and every one feels like such a win. I want to say my kids' bedrooms will be the focus but I have to get them on board with that idea. I do not want to say my basement will be the focus but it probably should be-- there is a ton of nonsense down there I can donate or trash and I just keep putting it off because it's not fun to be in a basement!

This came at just the right time! My pain point is our bedroom. Since upgrading to a king sized bed at 1 month postpartum, it’s become a bit of a neglected space in terms of being thoughtfully organized. It works well enough for us (and baby) to sleep and have our dressers, but I want to make it feel more serene.

Ready for this... My space definitely needs a zhuzhing!

Paint point- entry way when you don’t have room for one! Transitioning from winter boots to spring jackets and little people who don’t reliably put away!

Feeling up for this challenge! Our house is majorly lacking in closet space and I desperately need to devote some time to storage and organization 🥱😴

Also! Fun fact- disposable cutlery is actually accepted and appreciated at our local community fridges/pantries! I was delighted to find a more sustainable way to pass along the forks and knives that get sent with deliveries despite requests to skip them.

This is so helpful -- in bite-sized pieces. Thank you!

The living room -- it's just so cluttered! I like clean surfaces. Plus, I'm kind of bored with it. Would like to shake things up a little for very little money. :)

My biggest pain point is my bedroom, but the other one (which will be easier to solve) is my pantry… I spend more (waking) time in the kitchen but the bedroom is still probably more important… Decisions, decisions!

Trouble spot: Corner of our playroom! Supposed to be just backpacks but is also Christmas games and charger cord. Hubby thinks we need shelves there. I’m not convinced. It’s been a trouble spot for 8 years!

What a great idea. I've been hoping to do all these things. Maybe this will help me get started.

I love and need this right now and I’m cleaning up and reorganizing after a kitchen renovation. I guess I’m going to try to focus on figuring out how I’m going to utilize my slightly adjusted storage space best and finally getting my countertops cleared off.

I’m so into this! I’ve let clutter creep in to our small apartment over the past few busy months. I need to look at our rooms with fresh eyes!
