I am about halfway around the den at this point in my process. This room is different than the kitchen and laundry room because there really aren't many pieces of furniture that are storage. There's a chest of drawers, a record cabinet/shelf and a desk. Otherwise, things are just place around the room. But I'm still going through everything. Oh, it's also where I put boxes to fill up for donation or the garage etc. Still, I have enjoyed it and it always makes me feel better.
I have not gotten rid of many things because, as I said, there are not a whole lot of drawers in the room. But I have gotten things better organized. The chest of drawers was fun to go through. There's a drawer with extra candles for whatever use. I did actually have to throw a few of those away. There were decks of cards, lots of Mom's jewelry and jewelry from other family members and lots of vintage linens. It was fun to go through and see what could be saved and what could not. Some of the linens were well passed being remotely usable so they had to go.
Next up in the room is the closet. Not looking forward to that one but it must be done. It will be the first closet I've done in this process. I hope that this does not overwhelm me and make me want to give up. But it could be fun because God only knows what is in there! It will be a challenge, but I will rise to the occasion and power through it. However, if you don't hear from me in a few weeks, send a search party!
That is all.
