Working on my closet still. Need a better way to store blankets. (I hoard blankets. Think I get it from my Grandma, who grew up during the depression, and that we went without power for about 2.5 weeks during a two month span due to major ice storm). Taking off recycling tomorrow. Still trying to work through craft stuff too Have you tried folding them into a cushion? Here is a how to video: m.youtube.com/watch?v=WZiACexLk9wI folded them like this and then store them in a trunk with the lid open and they look amazing!

Iām still not feeling great after the last round of covid, but spring cleaning fever is hitting with the longer, sunnier (mostly lol) days.
Iāve managed to go through my coats/scarves in the front closet, and have a few to donate. Today I went through my bin of winter/skiing things and purged some old goggles and dry rotted mittens that are mine from high school 30 years ago! They held up well but Iāve replaced them and Iām just holding onto them cuz Iām a hoarder. Also pulled out a few sweaters, pairs of extra socks etc. itās not much but a start and made room for the few new things I got over the winter.
I have set several Disney Loungefly bags and one Disney Dooney aside in the guest room to try and list to pair my collection to only those I really really really love.
I got a few returns sent back to Amazon, and Target just told me to keep 2 small things but gave the money back so they went in the donate box. Itās nice they arenāt piled by the front door anymore!
Iāll be moving late fall, and Iām thinking about getting a storage unit now and moving holiday bins and seasonal things out as events pass. Itāll lighten the load for moving when the time comes and then I can get them out of storage to the new abode when Iām ready for them. Of course purging before bins are packed and stored.

In good news we got rid of all the old scrapbooking stuff I no longer wanted as well as a lamp and a chair. We did well this week. Today is recycling and while itās just recycling we are able to get rid of a ton of cardboard and junk from the garage. Yay!!!!

I'm slowly working through my closet, again, and purging more clothes. Of all the things to purge, clothes seem to be the hardest.
I have 2 full bags to go to Goodwill. I'm to the point I'll need to buy some things!

Okay, Iām going to jump into this thread because I really need to. I read through two of the three Dana White books and have the third one on hold at the library which Iād like to pick up today (which is a bit of an accomplishment in and of itself because my normal inclination would be to just go buy the books which only adds to the clutter down the road).
Iāve been taking baby steps down in my studio and utility room over the last month or so and have made decent progress. I still have a LONG, LONG way to go. I started in the utility room because someone on our Buy Nothing group was looking for stamping supplies, and well, thatās something I happen to have a crapton of. There has been a 6ā folding table piled with boxes of junk set up in the utility room almost since we moved in, which was AHEM, almost 11 years ago. š³
My original thought was the table would be a good staging area to go through the boxes of stamps I didnāt have time to sort through before we moved, so all 20K of them (yes, you read that right) got packed up and dumped in the utility room, the table quickly got filled with other random boxes of miscellaneous crap, and itās been like that for a decade. Sigh. Yeah, no. The table was a bad idea.
Anyway. I took the opportunity to go through a few boxes to find what this girl was looking for, and managed to collect a nice assortment for her plus several ink pads that were still good (a couple with the shrink wrap still on them from the store). I found out she is an after school art teacher and so I asked if she could also use some scrapbooking supplies and she enthusiastically said yes! So the box of really nice paper and stuff that I had been wanting to donate for over a year finally was moved along to someone who can use it, YEAH! š
I decided the table needs to go because the lighting in the utility room is horrible (even with the addition of another lamp that I had slated for the trash, then reassembled and added a bulb so I could have more light in there, ugh), and with the water heater and boiler in there, I decided itās too hot to work in there for the length of time it will take to go through all those stamps. So, I took the time to go through the boxes and bins on the table at least. Found some stuff I had been looking for for a really long time (yay!) and was able to get rid of a bunch of stuff that can just be donated, recycled or trashed. Washed a box full of flat sheets that I sometimes use for table coverings, got them folded and will store those away in a more logical place. Switched a bunch of lightweight items that I need to keep from a solid shelf they were on to the flimsier metal shelving unit next to it, which opened up the stronger one for the boxes of stamps I will eventually keep, but moved the boxes to it for now. Every box will have to be gone through eventually, and things categorized better, but for now itās progress. I filled up both 90 gallon recycling bins with broken down cardboard and boxes, and have two full trash bags ready to be hauled out to the cans for trash day on Monday.
The bottom line isā¦ THE TABLE IS DOWN! š„³š„³š„³
So Iām celebrating that little win for this week. I was also able to consolidate things like tissue paper and gift bags and move them from a cardboard box into a rolling Iris cart, filled another rolling cart with finished scrapbook pages that need photos added, and moved the full packs of cardstock and patterned paper from the bins in that cart to the shelves where the rest of my bulk cardstock lives in the studio.
I was able to get all of rest of the boxes of stamps moved together to one side of the utility shelving, all of the steel rule dies put together next to them, and opened up a whole three tiers of shelves on the end, with the exception of the cans with the extra house paint that is supposed to be there.
Thereās another set of heavy duty wooden utility shelves on the other side of the room that Iām going to tackle next, mostly because itās largely storing bulk flat Priority Mail boxes that I can get rid of now that I no longer need to ship things out on the regular. So thatās 2/3 of a big shelving unit that could be cleared out relatively quickly, and the other third is the totes of stuff I would use if I had a booth at a retreat or to have a sale. Since I havenāt done either of those things in probably six years, some of that can go now too or at least be consolidated into fewer containers. It will be nice to free up that shelving for other things that Iād like to get up off the floor, or some boxes of stuff Iād like to get moved out of my studio. Itās progress, and Iāll take it.

Thanks, but it really is just the tip of the iceberg. Itās daunting to have so much stuff to sift through! Iām kind of doing it backwards of how Dana White advises, but I felt like I needed to get that storage space cleared out since that is the place where I wanted to move some other things into and it was too much of a mess the way it was.

DH and I started February by ripping out our family room carpet and installing luxury vinyl flooring. That lead to putting up new trim, installing a set of barn doors and new window treatments & furniture. Our family room is large with room for a ping pong table and snack bar area. It took us all month since we did all the work ourselves plus had some building material delays, but the end results are so worth it.
I haven't had much decluttering to do around the rest of the house. I'm still working on low spend goals to save money and keep unnecessary crap out of the house. There is a donate pile started that I add to as I come across things. I'll probably drop that stuff off at Goodwill in a couple weeks since it's near my hair salon.

Itās the typical āgive a mouse a cookieā scenario, isnāt it? š¤£ We went through that at our old house. We thought, maybe we would have the hardwood floors refinished. Once that was done the trim looked horrible and dated (1908 house with blonde wood trim put in in the 1970ās) so it had to go. We had new tall baseboards milled to match the original style of the house and put back in new window casings to match. Then the walls looked shabby so they had to be painted, and since we were doing the walls we might as well paint the ceiling too. Lather, rinse, repeat with the kitchen, bathroom, office. But in the end it really looked nice so I guess thatās all that mattered!

I have a few huge boxes to donate but the place I prefer to donate to (which gives the items away vs. selling them) only takes donations on specific times and days and those times havenāt been meshing with my schedule. So there they sit. At least theyāre in the guest room and not where I have to trip on them daily.

Waiting on DH to have time to drop them all off (I don't drive) Letās not talk about the recycling, LOL. I feel that pain too. I cleaned out the utility room and filled up both 90 gallon recycling carts with flattened cardboard boxes. Yeah! Stuff out of the house! Then we had an ice storm the night before recycling pickup day and I had a dentist appointment that same morning that I knew was going to take me twice as long to get to because of said ice storm. I remembered as I was backing out of the ice rink driveway, crap! Itās recycle day and the carts are still in the garage! I knew if I went back to the house to wrangle the two full heavy wheeled carts out of the garage and down the sloped, slippery ice covered driveway without killing myself or breaking something, I was going to be late for my appointment so I left. I hoped that the trash guy would be late in picking up due to the weather and I could still get them out when I got home. Yeah, no. It was even slower going driving back home and sure enough, the recycling truck had already come through. So now Iām stuck with two totally full carts that have no room in them for the day to day stuff for the next two weeks. Story of my life. Two steps forward, one step back.

crazy4scraps - I'm sorry - but probably wise not to risk sliding down the driveway. We don't have kerbside here so we have to take the recycling to the county dropoff (for some) and the grocery store dropoff (for others). It's a bit of a pain.

My suggestion will not be popular with some, but for the next 2 weeks I would not worry about recycling and put that stuff in the regular trash. Especially when studies have found that 70% of recycling ends up in the landfill anyway (and a recent study I saw said 90%). We just had a major schedule mess up in our neighborhood and went 4 weeks without recycling. There was no way I was going to let that stuff sit around in my garage to attract bugs or mice, so into the trash it went. To date I have not been struck down by lightning! If you can't bring yourself to do that, then perhaps you can haul it to a recycling location? But keep in mind that you are using fuel and polluting the environment that way

We don't have kerbside here so we have to take the recycling to the county dropoff (for some) and the grocery store dropoff (for others). It's a bit of a pain. Exactly. I penguin walked down the edge of the driveway to look at the neighborās bins to see which had been picked up and even at that, one wrong move sent me sliding a good 6ā! I was happy I didnāt fall. After that I decided it wasnāt worth taking the one trash bin with one kitchen bag of trash in it down to the curb! It could (and did!) wait until this week. We have drop off recycling like yours at our cabin. Most weeks we just opt to bring it home with us and toss it in the single sort cart here instead.

But keep in mind that you are using fuel and polluting the environment that way Honestly, it would be more work to transfer it from the recycling cart to the trash cart than to just wait another week until itās recycling day again (every two weeks, curbside, single sort carts so itās all mixed up cardboard, paper, cans, plastic). We have two separate trucks that come on recycle weeks, one for the trash (cans with brown lids on one side of the driveway) and one that comes for the recycling (green lids on the other side of the driveway). These are all HUGE 90 gallon wheeled carts, and theyāre FULL. Iām short, so the top of the can comes up to my armpits. I canāt even reach the stuff thatās in the bottom of the cart, nor do I want to. If I put the green lid recycling carts down at the curb today, the garbage guy wonāt take it because itās in the green lid recycling carts, so I would just end up hauling the full carts back up to the garage until the next week unless I want to transfer alll of that junk into the other bin. No thanks, it was bad enough just getting it all cut down and into the recycling bin in the first place!

I wasn't referring to the recycling that was already in the bin, but to any new recycling that accumulates until the next recycling day. My apologies that my post wasn't clear. You trash/recycling is the same as ours. My recycling bin was completely full and they didn't come for 4 weeks. All the new recycling went into the trash for that time period.

You trash/recycling is the same as ours. My recycling bin was completely full and they didn't come for 4 weeks. All the new recycling went into the trash for that time period. That makes total sense. Since DH was gone all last week and not working, we really didnāt generate much recycling or trash (a good percentage of the recycling normally is due to boxes and packaging from his job materials) so it wonāt build up to a worrisome level in the week before the carts are empty again. Most two week cycles the normal household accumulation is maybe three grocery bags worth, this was just outside of the ordinary because I was on a tear, LOL. But if it wasnāt going to be picked up for a month I would definitely figure out an alternative solution! The carts were half full with his work junk before I started in with my basement project, and once I got on a roll it didnāt take long to fill both carts all the way up. I still had a lot of stuff in the utility room that was in moving boxes and thatās what I emptied, sorted and broke down.

I emptied, inventoried, and organised...my big freezer, my fridge, the fridge freezer, the garage pantry shelves, and the deep pantry closet. Thankfully today was trash day AND I got the purged items out before the truck came.
Also tidied the tea/coffee station and inventoried it as well as the spices.
Now to wash the dishes...sigh...

Joining in! I posted 19 items in our BuyNothing group and 2 more on FB marketplace, dropped off a bag of clothes in the donate bin and took out 2 large bags of trash. I also consolidated some piles of filing into trash and filing cabinet.
Feels good to cross this off the listā¦itās been forever since Iāve been so productive!

Another bag ready to leave the house - how many small, white dishes (to hold something like a dipping sauce) does one need? Old me thought eight, new me thinks two is more than enough š itās amazing now everything fits in my actual kitchen how much more I am willing to rethink what I have and if I actually need all the stuff. A lot of it is really nice/brand name etc so Iāve held onto it for ages but if I havenāt used it in 15 years why am I keeping it?

Actually threw away all of the empty soda cases I had been saving for back porch trash cans. Needed to. Organized my closet. Now I am working on my dressers.
Took some stuff to flea market and stocked it. Have another box off stuff to go to Goodwill. Need to take recycling off sometime. Tomorrow and Monday are going to be busy. (Fundraiser tomorrow, meeting/therapy/concert Monday) so it may need to be Sunday or Tuesday. Swap meet is next weekend so hopefully we will get rid of a bunch of stuff.

I cleaned out and reorganized my four kitchen utensil drawers last week, and a couple weeks ago did the pull out drawer where all of our water bottles are stored because an ice pop maker I had stored in there exploded a bunch of white crystally junk all over the inside of the drawer. Supposedly the stuff isnāt toxic. I hope. š¬ Sometime soon I want to go through the lazy susan cabinet with all of the Tupperware bowls and similar stuff in it which is a complete dumpster fire. The Tupperware itself is pretty self contained but itās all the other random junk that has collected in there that has to either be sorted out and organized or just plain tossed/recycled whatever. I spent more time this week down in my dungeon basement utility room. Itās starting to look pretty good in there! I was able to get more stuff up on the shelves and off the floor and more boxes of random junk gone through. At one point I saw a box with a bunch of unassembled wire shelving units that I used to use for displays when I sold stuff at retreats and thought, āThis is dumb. I should be using these to put stuff on.ā I had been using one unit already to store rolls of wall vinyl and that was working out pretty well. So I built a second unit and got the rest of the boxes of vinyl rolls up off the floor which was awesome. š Vertical storage is a beautiful thing, LOL. I also switched a bunch of unassembled plastic shoe cubbies that came with my many rolls of vinyl from a huge unwieldy box into two smaller and easier to store boxes. Theyāre like the 13ā square wire grid shelves that have those round connector things but they have solid flat plastic panels instead of wire, and thereās a ton of them. They might be nice for storing and organizing fabric. I decided I no longer need the five assorted cartons of new Priority Mail boxes I had on hand so they can go, either to someone who can use them on Buy Nothing or back to the PO. Iāll keep a couple of each size because I do occasionally mail stuff to my family out of state, but that will only take up a fraction of a shelf. Now I have another big pile of cardboard waiting to put in the recycle carts once the trash comes on Monday.
