ENTRYWAY SOLUTION

I have clutter issues. My husband doesn't. We live in a small 490 square feet apartment in NY and space is a problem.  Our space does not allow us to have a console table since we don't really have an entry way or a hall.  So, my husband developed the habit of emptying all his pocket contents on the only side table we have and I hate it because he dumps everything there!

SPRING CLEANING THE CLOSET

I just finished spring cleaning my closet (yes only now! arghh).  It is already June and all but the weather here in NY seems to take its own course and chooses to fluctuate every single day so it wasn't until this weekend that I decided to really go through my closet.
