Everyday Clutter Control

Mindy and Billy's Family Room, Before

Mindy and Billy's family room feels more frenzied than fun. "This is my half-man room," Billy says. "It's actually shared with our girls' playroom."

Mindy says toy storage is the family's biggest obstacle in the room, which Peter says is a common problem for many families. "We think that if we just buy the right thing, whether it's for our kids or ourselves or our home, we will acquire the life that we want. That more is better," Peter says. "Happiness and abundance can be found in simplicity and actually in less."
