    It's not just the shed. I think I may need a shrink, only strict discipline stops me making more rooms like this.

    Share your most cluttered closets and roomless rooms, if you dare!

    Hi AF,
    If you can see even part of the floor you are a storer. Hoarders have NO floor showing.

    These are of the room I am in right now. I have others of the basement room.
    If there is anything in this room that worth more than $20, I would be shocked.

    So do mine sometimes but I just hit 'delete' on the duplicates. You may still be in time to edit your post and try that.

    Looks like you've got it now!

    Good point about the floor. Very comforting.

    That does count as neat. There are acres of floor showing.

    Jewelry and fabric hoarder. I am a junkaholic and am helpless to control my addiction. And if you think those are bad, you should see my bad art collection - all done by me.(LOL)

    That basement is good, you can see what things are and get at them.

    Is that a bakelite turntable?

    The dining room table mess, complete with milk jug light tent. It works great for jewelry.

    This is what happens when they let quilters go to yard sales. The finished pieces are all awaiting delivery to their forever homes.

    Good grief, those pics look like an estate or house clearance dealers dream, LOL
    When I was clearing houses all my antiques & stuff was stored in a lock up, apart from small valuable stuff which was put in a gun locker.
    Before I went to live in Australia I emptied my place and sold everything apart from a sofa and a bed.
    When returned (13 years ago today) I replaced everything new and I have never cluttered any rooms up since.
    I have a small study which holds all my collectables and stuff in one place, If I snuff it, my kids have an easy job sorting their inheritance :D

    This is what my room looked like when I first moved into it 3 1/2 years ago.
    Then my husband kept dragging stuff up from the basement saying, "is this something you want up here?".
    Well . . . no, but would he drag it back down? Well . . . no.
    Turns out, he had designs on MY room in the basement. grrrrrrr.

    Why does everyone else's clutter look so attractive?
