Don’t forget the garage – be sure it is clean, organized, and FITS A CAR! Add loft storage racks and hooks and shelving to the walls. If it doesn’t belong in the garage, get rid of it – whether this means renting a storage unit or storing in friend’s garage, make sure your garage is not being utilized as a catch-all for items that have been taken out of the house.

Remove the toilet brush from the bathroom and store out of sight – I don’t care if you bought the one in the fancy casing, we still know it’s a toilet brush, and it does not add to the décor.
