I have lots of bits & pieces as ornaments, where do I put them?

Karen's reply:

My definition of clutter is:

(1) Things you do not use or love
(2) Things that are untidy or disorganized
(3) Too many things in too small a space
(4) Anything unfinished
Lots of bits and pieces without a home falls into category (4), so your ornaments are clutter at the moment.

If you truly love them and have enough space for them without making your space feel cluttered, then figure out the best location for each of them. If there are items you can't find a good place for, let them go.

A simple motto is: Keep the best and dump the rest!
