Hallways and Stairwells

In her newsletter this week, Lorie Morerro of The Clutter Diet suggests tackling your hallways and stairwells.  My first reaction was, "What could possibly be there to tackle?"  She suggests straightening pictures on the walls, cleaning around benches or other furniture that might reside in those places.  Come to think of it, I have been in stairwells where there are piles of shoes, way more than one per family member. There might be "stuff" stored on the stairs which is pretty unsafe.  In thinking about this, it is a neglected area.  Take a glance today.  What can you declutter or straighten up in the hallways or stairwells of your place?
