As I look around at what appears to be the remnants of a small tornado, I want to pull my extensions out!
Combining the possessions of two individuals into one lil ass starter 1 bedroom apartment with NO washer dryer connections (sorry side bar that has virtually nothing to do with the space and everything to do with the fact I hate coin operated laundry machines) is damn near impossible. The whole apartment has to be rearranged. Luckily my new roommate ( “The Boyfriend” ) has adopted the motto “if you like it I love it” . God bless him for that. He fought me tooth and nail over the vast amount of pink and green decorative pieces I own. Rest assured I won that fight. There are green pillows on his brown couch, a pink floor lamp in the bedroom, and frogs in the bathroom. So far everything balances out and nothing looks tacky. Its all about finding balance. If you think about it everything in life is about finding balance. Balancing friends, work, significant others, leisure time , cleaning,…..its like a never ending relentless struggle. Jenna.Sais.Quoi vs. The World type stuff (if you haven’t seen Scott Pilgrim vs. The World 
you are losing and you don’t get that reference #doublelosing). With both of us working full time there is little time or energy for us to organize our combined possessions. Ok Ok when I say OUR I really mean MINE. His stuff has been organized for a while now.
The biggest challenge has been throwing away things I don’t use nor need. I AM A CERTIFIED HOARDER. Whatever channel that makes that show needs to call me and offer me money to film my mess. I still have clothes from 7th grade that I never wear I just have never thrown them away. If cleanliness is next to godliness,….. I am lap dancing in the lap of Satan.
As I work harder to mature and become a responsible woman I am striving to change that. I WANT to keep a clean house. And that is why having all these boxes and clothes everywhere is stressing me out. Its keeping me from my goal and I just don’t have the energy to fight it. Thankfully I don’t have to go thru this alone since I’m living blissfully in sin.
You're right, life is all about balance and your boyfriend seems to be content with the level of balance between your things and his things which is,well a good thing. I would suggest that you find a local charity to donate those clothes and things to that you no longer use. I'm sure they can find a good use for them. That would not only provide more space for you and your boyfriend, but it would also allow you to keep the principles for which you have so many pink and green decorations.
