As you view spaces with a more critical eye, are you seeing multiples? Lorie Marrero, author and creator of The Clutter Diet system and website (great reading and program, by the way), recently talked about finding three staplers in a home attempting to become organized. The woman hadn't thought about the fact she probably didn't need all of them.
How many rubber scrapers does one need? I find that two work well for me. Do you have fewer people living in your home now? Can you do with one of something instead of three? Do you need 15 bath towels for two of you? How many rubber bands does a household need?
My suggestions are small items, but maybe you have too many chairs, tables, dressers. Think about what pieces are actually used and needed. If you're worried about keeping extras on hand, think about where we live. We have easy access to discount stores or even yard sales where we can easily pick up replacements.
My suggestion today is to donate multiples and keep what you need.
