Let the Decluttering Begin!

I am a girl on a mission: to strip this apartment down to comfortable efficiency.  I don't want to get rid of so much stuff that we feel like we're lacking, but I want to make it sparse enough to run more smoothly and feel bigger.

Welcome to Fall Cleaning 2010!

So, drawer by drawer and pile by pile, I'm off.  Today, I randomly started with kitchen utensils drawer.  I don't have tons of gadgets and doodads in my kitchen, but it's frustrating to have to rummage in search of something.  Here's how I did...

Before:


After:


With seven items removed (and an entire knife block on the counter that will leave once I invest in a chef's knife), it's only a small start, but it only took two minutes.  Two minutes and my home is already seven things lighter.

What can you do with two minutes today?
