Do

Here is what needs to happen around here:

Go through each room in the house, and the closets, and get rid of as much as possible.
Clean up the entire house.
Organize in each room and closet in order to use space efficiently.
Get rid of living room couch, replace with back room couch.
Deep clean the bathrooms. (What is the best way to get tile floors (and I mean old school tile) (emphasis on old) really clean again?)

I'm feeling optimistic tonight (please, just let me have this moment) that we can get a lot of this done, and I am quite certain that most of it hinges on the act of getting rid of a LOT of stuff.

It's going to require a ton of work. But it's also increasingly clear that things around here have to change.

I'm saying these things at the risk of sounding like a broken record; maybe after so many tries, change will happen...we'll finally get it. Have you ever been at a point where the roads lay before you, and the choice was clear, and the choice was hard? I'm sure there are situations more significant than this. But right now it feels a little like do or die. Let's say it's do or die trying (and then just get 'er done).

Go for it! But don't forget to set small short term goals so you feel the success and don't get overwhelmed.

I agree with Wendy. Break it down.

Wish I could help you with the tile. Just remember that even if the grout isn't the original color that doesn't mean it's dirty. It just has patina. ;)
