I live in a 500 square foot studio apartment in NYC so I've had to get creative with storing all my stuff!

Now that my kids are a little bigger and get excited about decorating, I decided I would start decorating for Halloween!

You walk past that dollar spot near the entrance thinking it's all junk, right? Same. I ignored it for years. Then one random Tuesday I grabbed a few things out of curiosity, and now half my daily routine involves stuff that cost less than a coffee. This list is for anyone who loves a good deal but hates wasting money on cheap stuff that breaks in a week. Every single item here has survived months of real use in my house.

I decided to give my bedroom a cosy autumn-winter style makeover. I took it from a cluttered, drab pink bedroom to a minimal yet super cosy, warm one. Have gone from avoiding being in my room to living in there!

My house looked fine from the outside but every drawer, closet, and cabinet was stuffed with junk I hadn't touched in years. I kept saying I'd do a big weekend cleanout but it never happened. This is everything I used to break it into 30 tiny daily tasks and actually finish. If you're someone who gets overwhelmed staring at a messy room and shuts the door instead, start here before the new year guilt hits.

Staring at a room full of stuff you haven't touched in two years is paralyzing. You know you need to purge but every time you start, everything ends up back where it was.

Took me a lot of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.
