• Focus on only one area.
Get one room done. Set a
timer and allow yourself
to work for a time — one
hour.
• Start small, like a junk
drawer. When done, move
on, but stay in the same
room.
• Take away everything
wintery — decorative pil-
lows and throws, pine cones.
• Have three bins for sort-
ing — keep, toss, donate.
• Touch each item only
once before it goes in the
bin. This helps you do it
quickly and won’t let senti-
mentality set in.
• Let it go ASAP. Take a
load to the thrift store right
away with no second-guess-
ing.
• Pull out 10 items you
haven’t worn in the last year
and donate or sell.
• Store special dresses
or shoes in boxes under the
bed.
Hueckman said some
may be at a loss of where to
begin, but getting the whole
family involved in the pro-
cess may help.
“Schedule a time when
everyone can participate,”
she said. “The idea of living
a simplified, decluttered life
appeals to all of us.”
For clothing, Hueckman
uses the 80/20 rule.
“We generally wear 20
percent of the clothes we
own,” she said. “The same
goes with toys, books, DVDs
and other items.”
When searching for room
design ideas, she said it can
be helpful to change one’s
perspective.
“Take photos of the room
you’re working on, and look
at them away from home,”
she said. “Ask someone
over to help see your home
in a new light.”
She said taking that
fresh look or having new
eyes on it can help.

Decorative elements for
the home at Station 62.
“We don’t really see
stuff when we live in it ev-
ery day,” she said.
Hueckman said making
time to organize the home
can be rewarding.
“I feel that when you
come home to an organized
space, it gives you a feel-
ing of freedom, space and
relaxation,” she said.
Station 62, located at
145 S. Canyon City Blvd.,
features home decor, in-
cluding whimsical signs,
pillows, frames, chalk-
boards, vases, throws and
more. Hueckman describes
the style as modern farm-
house with a little “boho”
or Bohemian. Clothing,
shoes, candles, jewelry,
mugs and sunglasses are
also available. The Station
62 coffee shop has a drive-
up window, and hairstylist
Kim Grove owns The Cut
Above, an adjoining busi-
ness.
Visitors to Roan, at 154
Front St. in Prairie City,
will find a warm atmo-
sphere with a plethora of
rustic decor for every corner
of the home. They also have
a coffee shop, and sell wine,
wine glasses, jewelry, yarn,
rugs, all-occasion cards and
more.
A vintage-style storage tray found at Roan can hold
everything from knick-knacks to essentials.
