Have you ever seen that Friends episode where Chandler discovers Monica’s (played by Courtney Cox) mess? Open the closet door and it all falls out! LOL.

Yours, is NOT a mess! That is the neatest mess I have ever seen. How funny, I was just curious where ppl keep their ‘mess’ when they have these beautifully noncluttered rooms.

I have to laugh. I walk often, and in the summer lots of people leave their garage doors open and thats were all their stuff is. They can have the cleanest organized house and the garage looks like a tornado hit it..
Thanks for your tips.

Hah! What lurks behind the door. I love it. In our current apartment, we don’t really have any ‘storage’ space, closets etc. It’s been interesting with no place to toss stuff and forget about it. That said, we eventually came up with a system where we have a screen and behind it we put our laundry to dry, our bikes and an ‘projects’ that are ugly and in progress. If I’m making something or painting something, it goes there when tacky. If we’re packing a box or a suitcase or holding something to be hauled off to the dump or donated, that is our holding area. So it seems we’ve created this space for ourselves as well. If you eventually get rid of the stuff in you ‘holding’ area, then I see no harm in hiding it for a while. It takes the pressure off. Imagine if it was in your living room!

What mess, Laura? All I see is a couple of boxes and a beautiful window! I think most of my boxes are full of stuff to sell too. The stuff that we wanted to donate is already gone, and selling stuff takes effort so we kept putting it off.
