I've learned that if you have something in your house that has not been used in the past year, it can probably go and you likely won't miss it. The more you purge, the easier it gets.
...but then I will go looking for it and it will be gone.
I swear my husband memorizes where he puts everything because if I move “it,” whatever “it” is he mentions the move. He is a slob with possessions, but I knew that going in. LOL.
Been going thru my house and purging.
Last month found a bunch of bikini’s in a draw.
I’m 60 years old. You see me in a bikini, call the white coats!
Had enough cupcake pans to bake 48 cupcake at a time. No way!!!
I am trying very hard to simplify my kitchen stuff...got rid of a fryer, an onion slicer,lots of dishes, cups,glass bowls.....
who needs all this stuff....a couple of good knives, a cutting board, and cast iron...
I did a major Marie Kondo style purge last winter. It was freeing. We are in the midst of a major remodel so I can’t do muchmore until I have a finished space, but I find little things here and there to donate at least once a month.
I find an uncluttered space calming. It’s a radical change for me as I come from a long line of people who like having lots of things. I view negative space as important to home decor as well chosen accent pieces are. Cozy yet calming is my goal.
