Time for another purge

We had a company holiday party last night and I got asked quite often about the houseboat.  Right now my answers are 'cold and crowded'.  While the temperature is a thing I think I"ll be working on for a bit, the fact that I kept using that response tells me that I need another purge!

In the past four years I've gone from 1830 sq ft, to 830 to 711 to my current 353.  That has meant a LOT of purging.  I look around though and I still have too much *stuff* to fit in this houseboat.  The biggest offenders are the closet and living room (I think I have the bathroom and kitchen under control).  Every time I start to get rid of stuff I imagine needing to rebuy it later and bothers me, it seems wasteful.

I look at my closet and I just feel that with a little bit of effort it could be organized so much better.  Because of the washer/dryer combo and the water heater, along with the only hatch to the hull, I'm super limited in what I can do in there, but there has to be a better way.  I look at the living space and there is just too much stuff.  I have shelves I"m not utilizing to their fullest potential, which is a good place to start.  It will be slow because I just don't move quickly in the winter, but I think I have a place to start!
