<b>Attic Decorating in Your 20s</b>

It's exciting when you get your first apartment, your very own space! You might have a roommate to negotiate with but there aren't any parents to worry about when you finally get to discover your unique style of decorating. In our consumer driven economy, you might think it's time to head to the stores to find the perfect pieces for your new home. Don't!

<b>Tips for sorting:</b>

Only save the clothes you used, the colors you like (I hated the dull colors for little boys) and no more than 2 weeks or what fits your laundry cycle as we tend to wear our favorites and ignore the rest or ...

You will feel overwhelmed with all the baby clothes and that's nothing compared to what you'll accumulate over the next 20 years. Now is when you need to learn to sort before you store things. It's easier to save all the baby clothes but you probably only used half of them, so give the others away now to save time and space.

<b>Tips for sorting:</b>

Only save a few toys, i.e. ones you'll want to take out when the grand children come to visit. Before Christmas, I had each of my boys pack up a box of toys for their cousins ... so there would be room for new toys!

Give yourself a storage budget like those great boxes that hold 10 reams of paper and the tops are easy to take off and put back on.

Label every box before putting in the attic, i.e. girls clothing, 12 to 24 months (you don't know the sex of your next child). Store all the children's clothes together, keeping labels visible to make your search quick.

Your first stop when shopping for furniture and other home furnishings should be your parents' attic, or maybe a close relative, good friend, etc. Don't be afraid to ask people if they've got items looking for a new home as older folks (myself included) get to a point where we recognize it's time to simplify our lives and that includes getting rid of stuff.

<b>New Homeowners in Your 30s</b>

You'll buy new/more shower curtains and new towels for your master bathroom when you are furnishing your first apartment. You'll want to run out and buy furniture for the living/family room, dining room and more before you host your first party but ... it's not the best strategy for creating your dream home - you need time to feel the house, learn where you're spending the most time and what you're doing in each room.

<b>Empty Nesters, Memories & Clearing the Attic</b>

Are you smiling? Have you started day dreaming about things you've lost in your attic for years? Do you now have free time and wondering how to spend that time? Your project is to clear out your attic so your kids don't have to do it for you.
