Decor Dilemma: How to Stylishly Cohabitate With Your Significant Other

So it might not be an episode of Hoarders, but if one of you hangs on to sentimental knickknacks, living together can get cramped. Tiny memories can add up when they're in the form of raggedy college sweatshirts, boxes of old greeting cards, and the like. To avoid conflict about the collection of beloved junk, narrow it down to a single box — whichever sentimental items you'd want to grab in the event of a fire, consolidate those in one storage container. The rest of your knickknacks have got to go! Scan greeting cards, take pictures of your sweatshirt, and then bid them adieu.

The solution: Keep one box, then donate the rest.
