Thanks for posting the link to the tips! I only have one caveat for the clothing: I had to leave the work world in 2007 because of my S/O's illness, so there are good reasons my work wardrobe hasn't been worn in the last year! I'm not about to throw those items out -- far too expensive to replace. However, I know my situation is unusual, and 99% of the time, the one-year rule is a great one.

i love their storage boxes, sort of a manila color (or black), and acid-free. i also received an e-mail reminding me about their 20% off sale ending tomorrow?(it should say on the website)...i use them for silks and linens, and photos.

i love those boxes in the photo- anyone know where to get them in bulk? ikea has them but still kinda pricey when you need a lot of them in different sizes

I disagree with the closet thing. I moved in December and threw out/donated all my smaller clothes as I had put on a few pounds. I hadn't worn them in over a year and a half.

I move and drop 30 lbs and nothing fits. Very annoying when I know the basics would have fit me and would have taken up 1-2 boxes tops.

i want that exact same setup above!!!
