Show us the fruit of your decluttering/organizing labors

What a cute and restful bungalow you’ve got there. Your decor choices are nice with the warm wood tones and pretty blue sofa and bedspread.

I love your place, Eric. What part of the country are you in?

Such nice and inspiring pictures.

Nice pics Eric. This is what I fantasize with with decluttering. But the fantasy seems quite hopelessly out of reach.

Where did you get the light grey blue sofa btw? Not that I'm likely to go out and get one, mostly just curious, I do rethink my furniture sometimes.

I would say "fait accompli" for you, Eric!

Thank you Rosa. I am in south Louisiana in Covington, a small city north of New Orleans.

Thanks! I bet you're better at decluttering than you know. For me, it has been a gradual but accelerating change in philosophy with many contributing factors. Towards the end it became easier and easier to part with things that I valued and was holding on to just in case, but had long been dead weight. The end goal has been to spend more time doing things I enjoy and less on small and large projects, cleaning, organizing, etc.

That couch is from Room & Board. It's not the most comfortable; mostly got it because it was one of their less expensive models, I was worried about my cat scratching a nicer one.

Thanks Catherine!

I'm interested to see what other SLers have done to organize and declutter, and how they like to live materially in their homes. Related, but getting away from minimalism and simple living, towards what appears to be a more common range of material consumption and accumulation in the U.S.: https://anexactinglife.com/2013/04/2...-21st-century/.

I aspire to “clean and organized clutter” as well.

While we tossed a lot of stuff before we move, I still brought a fair amount of stuff here that I had to figure out fit into a new place or not. Oh yes about the refrigerators and freezers: at the moment in this house we have five. We have one in our condo. Six for two people.

I will be cleaning out food stuffs for the next six months because we’ve been running three kitchens at times, plus we had taken spicesand other food stuff from two friends who moved households. . A lot of this crap can go.
