Graceful Creative had a post recently about the 50 things decluttering challenge. I haven’t had a chance to read the book where she got her idea from but I think I want to take on this challenge.
The crazy thing about the challenge? You count every GROUP of things you give away as one thing – stack of magazines? One item. A bunch of shoes? One item.
SCARY.
Husband and I spent some time on Saturday morning clearing out the pit that is the storage room. Here’s what came out and went to a MBA friend of Husband’s [she has a new place and wanted stuff to fill it!]…
One - One foldable dorm room coffee table….
Two – one trash can…
Three – a shoe organizer…
Four – a drawer organizer…
Five – two Pyrex glass bowls…
Six – a teakettle…
Seven – two African-inspired masks that just did not fit our house’s theme…
Eight – cloth bowl thing that was used for decoration at the wedding…
Nine – two baskets…
Ten – two ice trays…
Eleven – two angel pictures that again, didn’t match the theme of the house once we decorated…
Twelve – two red pillows from the college years…
Thirteen – two striped pillows from the post-college apartment…
My apologies if any of these items we decluttered were presents, Mom or Nina. Seriously – we didn’t have the room for them!
This may take a while.
