Bedroom closets can be a huge source of clutter. With most newer homes having master bedroom closets the size of a small country, the temptation to hang on to every single item of clothing since the 10th grade can be great.<\/p>\n<p>I am guilty of hanging on to clothes that are too small because I am sure that one day I will fit into them.

There are very few items that end up in the garbage can.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/January%202009%20Blog\/IMG_1744.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When was the last time you gave your closet an honest clean out?
