The IKEA catalog, narrated
Finally, the sad truths of the the IKEA catalog, revealed through narration: “I hate to be the one to break it to you, but own too much crap to make this work. We have set you up for failure.”
What do I do with all the stuff my mother left behind?
Four years ago my mother passed away leaving me with four storage units, three cats, and an additional household of items. Does anyone have any strategies for choosing what to keep and what to toss, and more importantly how do I store all of the items that I do keep?

We talked about using slatwalls to hold your NERF collection, and we talked about how they’re useful to store things in small spaces.
