How to Stop Household Clutter?

Ready to rid your house of clutter? Start here with these items you're sure not to miss.

Cardboard Food Boxes

Ditch the cardboard boxes and plastic bags that go with your cereal, snacks and dry goods. They're ugly, take up lots of space and don't keep your food fresh. Instead, opt for glass jars (like HGTV Magazine did here) or airtight food storage containers. 

Wire Hangers

Mommie Dearest said it best: No more wire hangers! Ditch those dry cleaner hangers for matching plastic or wooden versions.

Planning to buy furniture? Take a read on this.

Before splurging on a new bed, table, or other piece of furniture for your home, follow these easy tips to ensure it’s a worthy investment.

Check for a veneer
Veneer is a thin outer layer of wood, typically about 3 mm thick, that is used to coat lower quality wood and give furniture a more attractive appearance. However, wood furniture with veneer is less durable and more susceptible to splintering and other similar damages.




Examine the joints
Furniture joints that are stapled, glued, or nailed are an indicator of shoddy craftsmanship. The best furniture joints are either doweled or dovetailed. Both of these techniques involved seamlessly fitting different pieces of wood together so that they are perfectly joined. However, if you’re looking for handmade or antique pieces, be aware of perfect dowels and dovetails, as this indicates a machine-made piece. These tricks will make your furniture last longer.
