2025 Destash Time to Heave or Leave it

[barkley]

Remodel is just about done and we bought new furniture. My hairdresser just turned her basement into a man cave for her husband and she is coming this morning to pick up our old furniture. It’s in great shape just not the right size/color for our new space. Couch, loveseat, chair, ottoman, and two side tables gone to a new home!

the only thing better than decluttering is when someone comes over and happily takes it away for you!

not major decluttering but the back to school thread inspired me to go through the wealth of pencils and pens and erasers I inherited from my kids at the end of each school year back the day-tossed out allot of unused but totally unusable stuff (dried out pens, non functioning erasers). pulled out some stuff from both of our sheds and finally labeled the drawers on one so we stop repurchasing the same odds and ends of small hardware items (told my husband to check there before defaulting to the hardware store). I've got 2 containers of old electronic cords and such-dh will go through it with me tomorrow and whatever can go will go/what can stay can take up less room.

July was a pretty decent month to get rid of some stuff. I was able to get my outside storage shed cleaned and organized, so a bunch of stuff left from there and then some odds and ends from the house as well!. Overall, not as much as I wanted to get rid of this month but still not too bad. looking forward to getting rid of at least the same amount in Aug before returning back to school and regular work days.
