We have space for company, but the coffee table is piled with books, so we have to move them to make it usable. The kitchen table, however, is chronically piled with mail and assorted papers and stuff we'll deal with later, which means there's space for us to eat but not much else. We don't vacuum often (ever), so having people over monthly means that gets done once a month.

I'm working on a declutter project, too, but we've pretty much finished the living room area. (Well, the CDs could stand to be sorted...) My hope is that by removing things, we'll be able to have room for all the things we *want* to keep (and find it all!), rather than unsorted piles of Stuff. We'll see.
