Longing to Simplify - Part 2

As I'm thinking through this, I realize that I want to share 3 parts...so bear with me.  In this part of simplifying my life I want to focus on the stuff that has accumulated.  I hate clutter yet it still collects in my house.  So I'm on a mission to go through every single room and closet of my home to purge!  While this will take a long time, I think my husband is on board with me so I'll get to have his help.  Once this happens I want to do some re-decorating and updating to my house.  However, I can't think straight until stuff I don't like leaves.  Here's my general plan...

Kitchen - go through my cluttered drawers and cupboards to rid of those items I don't ever use.  I'm sure I have duplicates accumulating.  I hate it that I have a hard time shutting one drawer in particular.  My tupperware/container cupboard drives me nut as well as my lazy susan and corner cabinet that I can't seem to figure out how to organize.  I also have a huge pantry but know I'm not utilizing the space right.

Toy Closet - I really think we could get rid of nearly every toy of the boys except a few they play with all the time.  I think they've outgrown many of them that we haven't gotten rid of.  I like it that we don't have a toy room because it forces us to keep toys to a minimal.

Office - oh how I need some major help in this area!  My files need updated and so many things need thrown out.  Running a business requires organization and when I get behind this area can get bad really fast!

Bedroom - I want to eliminate as much as I can here.  I want to walk in and feel peaceful and right now I do not!

I also have 2 areas that collect stray stuff.  That needs to change!

See, I have my work cut out for me!!
