I feel the same way. I think part of my problem was that I grew up in a home where my mom was a real *knick knack* person and I got a distaste for clutter early on. Now I am married to a man who likes to save things. He says.... *in case I ever need them.* I told him a basement is not meant to be a warehouse but he has a differing opinion. Congrats on the basement cleaning chrangharris. I hope some day soon to be able to say mine is organized too. The funny thing is, that the things I am responsible for are organized (Christmas ornaments, etc) and are labeled and placed where I can find what I need in a jiffy. Hubby has to root and root sometimes for what he wants but somehow he always finds it, so he feels his system is OK.
