Joel and Paula Rogozenski in their family room

Uninviting Family Room

Clothes, boxes of books and unfinished home-improvement projects inundate the Rogozenski home so badly it's rendered areas like the living room totally unusable. Now, Joel may have only months to live, and the clutter is robbing the family of enjoying whatever remaining time they have left together. Paula says she wants to get her home in order for Joel but she doesn't know where to begin.

"When we walk down the staircase, this is the room we see," Joel says. "???it's kind of depressing but hopefully that will change." Meanwhile, the clutter keeps piling up.
