I was totally serious about the storage, Noa. Our sofa is the sort that has space underneath, and we've got boxes of toys my son can (or is supposed to) slide out to play with and slide back when finished. Ditto on end tables, day beds, beds, etc. Nothing expensive. Thank heavens for comforters and tablecloths. :)
We throw stuff out regularly too, but we're a family that imbues inanimate objects with meaning. "Oh, you can't throw out that. Mom gave it to me. Oh no, not that. It's the Burger King toy from the day we went to the zoo!!! Oh, I was wearing that outfit the day he sat up for the first time. That can't go! Oh. Not that calendar. March has a gorgeous picture of a waterfall - I feel so peaceful when I see it (of course it's in the closet so I never see it)."
