Your home truly is your castle. And you deserve to
make your home a place that brings you serenity and
good feelings, 24 hours a day.

A long time ago, I learned the “Doll House” method™
of making a place into what you really want it to
be.

This is because I had a playhouse built in the
back yard. I had it painted, and I put in tile on
the floor myself (about 64 squares of stick-on
tile – it made a big difference in the place).

Even when my home had too much clutter, I refused
to let the playhouse have ANY clutter. I put the
cutest kid-sized comfy chairs in it, plus some
colorful kid-sized tables from Ikea. I added
lamps, a bookcase, a cute rug, a fold-out chair-bed,
and a tiny TV set.

The place was the no-clutter-zone and it
made me feel happy to look at it! It still does!
It helped me to realize that at heart, I was
a spartan soul who liked ORDER and no clutter
whatsoever! And I know you like order too!

Later I decided to try the “doll house” technique
in my own home. I would take one room at a time
and make sure it only had what was needed or pleasing
to the eye – and not one bit of clutter in sight.
It works wonders!

This requires that you have take away the things which
are making any sort of clutter – and put them somewhere
else for the time being. That way, your home can be
your beautiful “doll house.”

Then, when you have time, systematically go through your
clutter. It will eventually be conquered!
