I wish I had a picture of the huge bag of stuff that is in the trunk of my car! I have cleaned my closet (twice), I am almost done cleaning my office and I haven't even started my garage! I am still giving items away or pitching them.
And it feels good.... purge purge purge.
Somehow when you are in a time of emotional chaos, cleaning makes you feel a little bit more in control.
In the bag:
old knives
blank journals I never used (x2)
an old dvd player
a too small yoga top
a too big shirt with the tags still on
a back up battery pack that may or may not work
10 pairs of pants that don't fit any more
a huge bag of old papers
outdated candle holders
too big sweaters
shoes
more frames
and so much more!
And tons more.
It never ceases to amaze me just exactly how fast crap accumulates. In my case I think a huge part of the problem is that my house (being that it was built in 1942) has a pathetic amount of storage. The closets (all three of them) are very tiny, barely accessible and not designed for the modern girl's shoe collection. Or her really big shopping habit!
So as I have been cleaning I have been adding storage. Hello Ikea! Lots of book cases and some drawers and it has been fantastic!
I'll be back soon and this time with pictures! I wish I had thought to take a before picture of my office.... but I didn't so I will take an after!
