Cleaning up

I am a obsessed collector. I tend to go overboard at times and lately I have been thinking I might have a little issue with my collecting. This past weekend it hit me that I was on the verge of getting junky! All of the sudden while watching American Pickers some of those people they pick from, didn't look so bad. WHAAAT? Then and there I decided enough was enough. It was time to clean up! Of course true to my creative brain (that never rest)  I started moving my eyes around the room. Then it all started.. I decided to moved some furniture (which I will show you later). Hubs was trying to watch the race so he was thrilled at my new "I can do it myself" venture. His favorite thing to say to me is "your killing me". Suddenly, one large piece of furniture was out of the living room. There, I felt better...(for all of two minutes). All you creative people know the routine. You sit down to rest and your eyes do another big sweep across the room. You know the thought of something's not right.  I don't know about you but I can't rest till I straighten THAT picture, or move the asymmetrical doo dad sitting on a desk. 

Getting a room decluttered is kind of like the rule of putting on jewelry of when you think you are finished, take one piece off. The same goes for makeup, some is good but too much and you end up looking like and old lady who has put make up on but can't see well enough to put it on. I'm not so far from that point either but that is another story for another day.

I wanted to show you some before and after pics of two area's I hit up for declutter. I'm not sure all will stay gone I will have to live with it for a couple of days before I decide. You be the judge.

Here is the desk are in the living room before.. a lot going on.. my eyes felt confused.. lol

See how much cleaner and neater that looks.

 

Do yourself a favor and just let go of some of your stuff! Meanwhile I will do battle with my mind not to put all my junk back where it was.

 

 

 

Sincerely,
