What this site covers

Three angles on a simpler home

Decluttering reads differently depending on the room, the season, and the climate. These are the recurring themes across the writing here.

Small footprints

Methods suited to apartments and condos where square footage is limited and storage has to earn its place.

Seasonal cycles

Canadian winters mean boots, parkas, and gear that need a home for half the year. Rotation keeps it manageable.

Where things go

Donating, recycling, and diverting items from landfill through routes that are commonly available across the country.
