[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 734870, member: 16024"] I like minimalism in theory, but haven’t yet achieved it in reality. I think I have a fear of really getting rid of everything I actually could get rid of. We combined two homes, essentially, when I moved into hubby’s house. He claims he didn’t have much, but he did have quite a bit of junk that I didn’t at all mind getting rid of. My stuff, however, is a different story. We went through the basement (yet again) right before the end of the year, and donated quite a bit of stuff (good tax write-offs), and do that about every year. I have a built-in cabinet in the family room that could use going through. We are planning on taking a weekend when it is hot and miserable outside and clean it out. And deep-clean the family room, touch up the paint and such. I was saving my kitchen declutter for the remodel (which might take a back seat to my me-remodel), so may or may not do that. We did clean out a couple of other rooms this spring when the weather was bad, but I could still get rid of more. I feel like, if we were to move to a much smaller house, it would force me to get rid of more stuff. I wouldn’t call any room in my house “sparsely furnished”. I would like to get there some day, though. [/QUOTE]
