Nature hates a vacuum and stuff rushes in to fill it. For the first time in my life, I have empty space in (some) bookcases. But I am a New Englander by 1600s-landing rights, and the frugal, “You never know when you might use it,” is a tough nut for me to crack (which is why New England barns have generational extensions).
While I now give away as many books as I buy, other "treasures" remain safe!
When I look around at the clutter, sometimes I say to myself, "All of this stuff was deliberately acquired, one way or another. What were we thinking?"
Stuff. I've sick of it. The purge is on-going.
Words. Still searching for the right ones, in the right order.
Weeds. Will it ever be cool enough to work outside?
Like you, I pared down when we moved to our beach house, giving a lot of the old house to my kids. This spring went so fast, like no spring, that I've found little time to get all those chores finished. But I don't need to declutter--that's done. Populating the page is what I'm working on.
Oh, Debra. I feel you on the shoes. Several years ago I was forced to admit that my years of wearing heels were over and I boxed up all my lovely, but now unwearable, footgear. Sob.
I'm pretty good about culling clothing out of my closet. The Hubby a little less so. Yet no matter what I do, I always seem to have a giant pile of T-shirts. How many T-shirts does a woman need?

What's in my closet? The beautiful suits and wool skirts from my work days that I find hard to give away--some I can fit into others that I can't. Beautiful kilts that I purchased when I lived in England--42 years ago. I know, I know, time to find them another home. But growing up with family members who lived through the depression and learning economy from them, I find it hard to let go of things that are still useable. Perhaps I could have some pleats expanded on the kilts to make them them a couple of sizes bigger. I still keep my old Navy uniforms. What can I say--I'm sentimentally attached to things. But I'm working on it.
Oh, you are my hero! My closet is full of gorgeous clothes that I wore when I worked in an office on a daily basis. Fortunately, I tend toward classics so those that still fit I can wear those that don't fit...well, fond memories! I also have my grandfather's antique platters in there. I no longer have a china cabinet. No room in this house, but I can't bear to part with them and they are safe from the cats. I am pretty good at keeping the rest of my possessions to a dull roar though. So, some points for those too small pencil skirts, please.
I was just rummaging through my closet and thinking about what I don't need. Thinking and toss are not the same.
Oh, boy, another New England Yankee here. Whenever I try to throw something away I hear this refrain "but you might need it someday"!
Being in a military family with many moves under my belt has helped keep the clutter down, but I've got a long way to go.
The shoes are the worst - why is it so hard to get rid of shoes that no longer fit PLUS hurt my feet.... You've inspired me, Debra. I know it will feel great to be able to see my closet floor again.
T-shirts and shoes have always been like bunny rabbits in my closet :)
