I feel 50 pounds lighter!

The storeroom is finished!  I feel like a new woman!  It’s amazing to what extent I’m bothered by clutter.  My whole life feels out of sorts… 

This was before:

Pretty grim!

This is after the big cleanup and cull.  I was ruthless!

There were dishes (mercifully clean) in that dishwasher.  The machine belongs to my sister-in-law who’s lived in Taiwan for the last seven-odd years.  Quite an improvent, don’t you think?

In other decluttering news, all previous Fertilehealthy blogs have now been deleted.  I rescued some of the posts from the original blog and will repost them here in due time. They will be new to most of you anyway.

    I get a thrill when I fill garbage cans, too. I feels great when you find more room.

    Clutter is awful - it really make us stress out - even if we don’t realize it! I am working hard on decluttering as we prepare for our move. (Unfortunately hubby is a clutter bug!) Not that I can’t be (!) but I’m working on it!

    Well DONE!! I’m so jealous. I stalled out on the basement after the mice moved in. I’m going to get back in there after this conference.

    Clutter makes me crazy! I just can’t stand it and wouldn’t you know I married a man who loves clutter.

    Oh, I bet it feels good to see that improvement. Nice work - that took some time I bet.

    Wow! Well done…
    Did C want to hang on things that you wanted to toss? Men aren’t usually sentimental, but Ian is so sentimental when it comes to his old crap stuff that I can’t stand!
    Wonderful improvement - I can see why you feel so much lighter!
