Yesterday was decrapification part two at our house. I have been wanting to learn to sew, so DH has been wanting to convert our extra bedroom into a sewing room for me. Previously, that room was "his"; he had his guitars in there. But he moved them downstairs since he now only plays with the baby.
Anyway, since said baby has been born, that room as has been a MESS. An explosion of outgrown baby clothes and gear, craft supplies, bedding (since we have no linen closet), coats (no coat closet), etc. etc. etc. Not any more!
I didn't make a list, but I am positive we hauled way more than 100 items out of there--a full bedding set, some curtains, coats, baby stuff, board games. I also let go of my scrapbooking stuff--all of it. Paper, embellishments, stamping supplies, fibers, ribbons, adhesives, cutting tools. That alone filled up two huge garbage bags (the usable stuff I donated, though).
In addition to that, we got rid of some more books and knick knacks and toys from other rooms of the house. My husband has expressed a desire to lighten the load again. We did the 100 item challenge for an entire year a few years back, getting rid of 1300+ items. He was like..."we need to to the 100 item thing again." Haha!
