Downsizing Dilemma

My journey to a much simpler life has to start with decluttering the "stuff". My dilemma is where to start. How much stuff do we need? How much stuff can you fit into such a tiny place? I think this is the part where a list would come in handy to see just how much stuff we have. This is the part where I have to ask the hard questions.
*Do I have space for this?
*Do I love it?
*Can it do double duty?
*Can I replace it if I need to?
*Do I already have one of these?
*Does it annoy me?
*Have I used it within the last month? 6 months? year?

Maybe if I break it up into rooms, that might make it easier. It would help to put a limit on things, like toys or clothing or shoes. I'm going for the minimalist view and my husband likes to collect stuff so we have to compromise somewhere in the middle.
