Cleaning House, Making space

I keep finding myself trying to find peace in my life...but in the middle of an over abundance of stuff!  So, every so many months I re-prioritize my need for the "stuff" and how much time I really want to spend on keeping up with and finding space for it...this month I am allowing myself time to really go through one space at a time and get rid of as much as I mentally part with and then reorganize.  Below is just one space (my closet) that has taken my life and made me crazy. My hope is that I come out the other side of this closet with a lighter load and an improved space and oh yeah - Alive!

     

OMG Success!  Cleared out two bags of trash, 6 pairs of shoes for Goodwill, 4 pairs to sell along with cleaning out a plastic drawer system (so does not go with the french country look I am going for in my bedroom) going to sell that puppy too!  so now my closet is more functional - Not perfect but I mean it's a closet not Martha Stewarts house for crying out loud.

 

Today (Monday) I am conquering the clutter in the kitchen.   Looking through pots/pans/etc so I can get rid of things that we have too many of or things that I hold onto for no good reason?

No pictures (as kitchens are just not as fun as closets)

So far I have one bag to give away and more to look through - not feeling 100 so this will take all evening I am sure (thank goodness for crockpots, that I have two of, and kids who like chicken)!

How did I find myself moving dressers in my bedroom?  I am so very random (so my posts should start making some odd sense by now).

a couple hours in...an ashamedly so....I am actually getting a rush out of getting rid of stuff that is just cluttering my life!  selling/giving/tossing oh yeah baby feels good!

so tired but have my table disassembled and put up for sale - Kitchen looks bigger - whew - clutter be gone (but now to put it all back together ughhhh)

(okay one pic of the mess I have made lol)

sooo its like 5 hours later and I am still not done ughhh but I did find someone to buy my table :)  now while putting stuff away realized I need some type of small table ha ha


Kitchen is all done and put away nicely - working on plans to make a small island by hand :)  I love this one I found on Pinterest!
