We’ve all heard it, “I really want to do this with _______ space.”  “Someday this _________ space is going to be _________.”  “If I only had time I would redecorate this _________ space.”  Fill in the blanks, either you or someone you know labels this _______ space this way.  

The real problem is commitment, or a lack thereof.  Areas get out of control when we don’t designate a specific use and follow through with it.  If the space should be an office, get a desk in there.  Then make the space inviting to encourage use and, no more excuses, you’ve done it!
