i have been working the past few mornings on minimalizing our basement/storage room. it is a large room with tons (possibly literally) of storage from the past nine years of marriage, two kids, and four houses. to date, i have collected over eight 33-gallon garbage bags of items to throw away/sell. it’s been an overwhelming task and i have hit “the wall.” the easy stuff is done – what remains is the pile of “questionables.”
and i needed a break, so i chose an easier project this morning - cups.
it took me about 15 minutes to minimalize one of our kitchen cabinets – the one with glasses/mugs/cups/plates/bowls. it doesn’t take too much brain-power to know which cups we use and which we don’t. those we use, i kept. those we don’t, i threw away. i removed over 40 items from our cabinet and i love the result.
i’ll let you know about the storage room…

Well my husband and I just went through our kitchen and are getting rid of two boxes of stuff…..Good Call.
Go Yanks!!
doesn’t it feel great?
clearing out your kitchen that is… not cheering for the yankee’s.
last month i let go of the children’s playhouse to a colleague. had wanted to sell it initially but found it too bothersome to do so. it was such a relief to see my floor space again!!
