It feels really good to be so organized and unburdened by stuff. There is still room for improvement and I have found some things I should have gotten rid of.For instance, way to many winter clothes!!! Husband the pack rat did really well in downsizing.We used a combination of donation to Goodwill, an auction for the antiques, gifts to friends and children,and yard sales. In the end some things did go to the dumpster.
I chose my very favorite antique pieces and they are in the guest room, we call it the New England room.
We brought our dining room table because it had been with us through so many celebrations and I still love the table. To brighten it up a bit I am planning on changing the chairs. We also brought our bedroom set which I really love and it looks great in our room.
Otherwise we bought our personal items, books and computers, and essential items.
It was fun and heartbreaking at the same time but a necessary exercise when moving to TV.
