15 No-Cost Swedish Habits That Will Transform Your Home After 60

I have cleared three households, and I have seen both ways it can go. My mother's house in Värmland took one weekend, because she did the work herself and left four boxes, each with a name on it. My husband's parents' house in St. Paul took two years and a thirty-yard dumpster, and two of his siblings stopped speaking over a rocking chair. Döstädning, death cleaning, sounds worse than it is. These fifteen habits cost nothing but a pen, some tape, and an evening at the kitchen table, and they run from easy to hard, closet to basement to the conversation with your own children. I still have not finished my own sewing room. I am working on it. Swedish sense in an American house, so your children inherit your things and not your mess.
