We Can See the Floor!!!

My husband announced last night with glee that we can finally see the floor in our study!

This is the first time this is true since we moved in…and I am not admitting to how long ago that was. I am so excited that we are going to get to use this room soon as it has basically been a storage facility!

Last week I decluttered the first corner and now the second corner is complete!

I wish I had taken a before picture that showed the mess behind the red chair, but sadly I didn’t. There was a mess back there! Now I still have a bunch of pictures, frames and mirrors that will be hung in the Fall when we fully decorate this room (and others), but other than that it is cleared out!

Two more corners – two more weeks – and the room will be done decluttering! Yippie!!!

To manage this project I collected about one bag of garbage and one bag of items to be donated. Everything else found its proper home somewhere else!

I am so excited!  What tricks do you have for decluttering?

On a side note:
