i live in a good-sized 2-bedroom flat with DP & 2 DDs. we moved in 6 years ago & the kids chose the smaller of the 2 double bedrooms. now they're 9 & 12, they've outgrown it, so we decided to swap rooms (which means they've got room for desks etc). i thought it'd be a good opportunity to declutter we did the swap 2 weeks ago, & they've been brilliant packing up all their stuff etc. but now we've got the big bits of furniture moved, all the bits of crap remain waiting to be sorted, & it's doing my head in. i'm torn between hanging onto stuff (ornaments, pictures, furniture) which is nice, i love & was a present, & my dream of an uncluttered house of loveliness with spaces between things ! how do you do it? how do you not end up with a house full of adoreable nicknacks where there's no even room to put down a cup of tea?!! all suggestions considered except burning the lot on bonfire night
