So.
This place needs decluttering. I know that I'm going to do some serious spring cleaning as soon as the weather is warm enough to open the windows for a few days. Until then, I still have plenty to do. In order to pare down to the things we actually want in our home, I've decided to start tidying.
I thought it was gonna be fairly easy to start with my clothes. . . might take a day. . . One day I had an hour before dinner and decided to tidy my sock & undies drawer. I didn't think to take a before picture til I saw the pile on the bed, so you'll just have to believe me that it wasn't a disaster, but it was very full.

At that point I decided I had to post my underwear on the internet, and therefore, I needed pics.
So I took a pic of the two containers and the mesh bag that had also been filled with odds & ends of the same type that had also been tossed into the pile.

At the end of the purge I KonMari folded everything I was keeping so it was nice and tidy. . . and now there's so much room in this drawer! Even after laundry (I know what's in the hamper I will still have a big hole with nothing in it!
That hole would fit a store folded t-shirt! I haven't figured out what might go in there yet.
That said, This ONE DRAWER took 90 minutes.
So, doing all my clothes, is going to take longer than I thought.
