Good point about bins, I agree! The inexpensive ones are getting harder to find.
I like these from Walmart, and snapped up the last group I saw in my local store. Apparently they're always out of stock in stores these days, so here's a link for anyone who's interested: https://www.walmart.com/ip/seot/430879032 Another thing I've done is to save the bins from old plastic shelving units. I've got some that I use to store nail polish, because they're the right depth. The bins themselves are quite sturdy, so I plan to hang on to them even after the shelving has died. And oh, yeah, the chairs I ordered last fall finally arrived today. Whew. Such a long wait! My next job is turning my sun room into a little sitting room with my new chairs so I can watch movies or visit with a friend in comfy seats.

Hubby told me last month that after the holidays it was mandatory I tackle the house in earnest so I will! I really do want to do it, I just get so overwhelmed. I hope he realizes it's gonna look worse before it gets better!

I just had a Vietnam Vets pickup yesterday of two enormous garbage bags of clothing and several boxes of books and knicknacks. I decided I needed to stop having so many things sitting on shelves that need dusting, which I hate. I will likely get rid of more.
