7. Children's artwork. The budding artists in the family may be coming home with dozens of pieces each week. What to do with all of that art? First, create an easy display area with room for displaying at least a dozen pieces at once. A gallery wall or large bulletin or magnet board would work beautifully.
With the overflow, consider limiting what you keep to one box per child. If that seems like too little, you can also take digital photos or scan in the artwork and make photo books, for a solution that preserves the memories but takes up far less space than the originals.
