Fall Cleaning

The time has come to do the dreaded cleansing of every room, closet, nook and cranny. I feel as if I were "nesting" again. Now that I have my house back to just the three of us, it is time to attack and achieve organization! My husband and I live in a very cute, little, cottage type home, with only two rooms and a small handful of closet space, so organizing it has always seemed somewhat daunting. My question today is how do you organize your home in a way that it can stay organized for a long time. I'm hoping that my Spring Cleaning will be more of a walk through than an attack on every room! Please help me achieve organization! I need order in my house again.
