(Read about it here: www.marriageisnotforwimps.blogspot.com). Talk about having to declutter! I can definitly say that moving into a smaller space makes this job a lot simpler. And the relief I felt after getting rid of all that stuff cannot be matched. I am now decluttering my husband's office area and I'm going to be using a lot of your tips and ideas. Thanks so much!

One time a lot of it was. After these experiences you really figure out what's ultimately important and what's not. We fit everything that was near and dear to our hearts plus toys, diapers, important documents, etc into one little Honda! Eye opening. Why was it so easy to leave? Because I knew it could really be gone and I knew that my family, pet, and heirlooms were safe. Now, I like to de-clutter with that in mind. What in this space would I scramble to save? What would I buy again with the insurance money if everything were destroyed? What would I be upset about if I came back and it was messed up? Everything else, really, is clutter.Tabithahttp://www.debtfreedecorating.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-51731714858633719772012-01-09T01:04:12.338-06:002012-01-09T01:04:12.338-06:00I love this post and I am totally in love with tha...I love this post and I am totally in love with that closet.

I've been reading your blog for a month now and have written down many a project for me to tackle in my home. So far, I have organized files, created a new filing system (the hubby used to be in charge of it, but he is a mess!), hung a new cabinet like the one you featured from Jenna (I ended up buying a bunch of her prints to beautify my home), created a mini closet office/craft space, organized my attic and crawl space storage areas-still have more to do on that, organized my entryway closet, and decorated and furnished a guest bedroom for my parents who came to visit for the Holidays. Phew! I've done so much thanks to your motivating blog. Still have tons to do, but I can't seem to stop reading your blog to a) get it done and b) go to sleep at night. I read until I can't keep my eyes open and take notes of all the projects I hope to complete this year.

It's so liberating getting rid of things and I even have a few empty drawers now. <br /><br />The thing I used to have trouble with was getting rid of things that people gave me. As long as you're grateful for it and pass it on to someone who will use it I think it's fine.

When I purge I have an, "I don't know box"I use it for things I am just not sure about.I use it so I won't be held up in the purging process,trying to figure out why I should keep it or not. I revisit that box at the end of my purging. After purging it feels so good and freeing that the, "I don't box," is easy to purge at that point. I am going to use your idea of a review box for the items in the, "I don't know box," that I decide to keep for whatever the reason. I think this will help me with the sentimental things or the pretty things that have some value that I no longer use.
