Summary
I’m answering your decluttering questions that were submitted at AskDanaKWhite.com
- What is the best way to downsize/go through Christmas stuff?
- I am doing your "14 Days to Opening Your Front Door to Guests." It is lovely, and if I didn't have anything else to do, I am sure I could accomplish it. What do I do about all the random holiday activities that take up time I need for my room cleaning schedule?
- How do I tell the difference between everyday holiday chaos and a sign my house isn’t nearly as “under control” as I thought it was?
- How do I get the quantity of linens down when we often have guests who need a sheet set on a mattress or extra pillow cases, and it's hard to estimate what we will need? I’m tempted to keep more.
- Please show me how to declutter my ornaments! I feel everything is sentimental. Help!
