My house is a mess!
We’re quite deep into the process of getting rid of things so we can begin packing for the move. Actually, Harold has already packed a few boxes on his own.
We’ve uprooted most of the furniture that we are selling, cleaned, and photographed it. We’re not getting a lot of bites on craigslist yet though.
In addition to the pieces we are selling, we’ve already given away three full carloads of stuff… and we’ve only gone through two rooms! (The two worst rooms) We definitely did have a closet in the office that looked more like a room from clean-house than anything else. Two entire carloads of stuff came out of it and were donated. We also went through all of the furniture and the built-ins in the dining room. (another car load)
The next step in the process of streamlining, sloughing and organizing—basically condensing, is the DVDs and CDs. Harold is making the jump and getting rid of all the CD and DVD cases. They are going the way of my DVD collection and being placed into flip-books.
At the moment the house is a huge mess, and it probably will be for a while, and while that is very difficult for me to live in, I’m having to deal with it. However, in the end, it will be worth it. We’re definitely on our way to fitting our current apartment, into our new apartment. I’m glad we were able to get started so soon.
We are actually getting rid of 10 pieces of furniture. We are adding 5 back in, but smaller and/or better suited to the use of the space we will have. We purchased four of those already, and the store is holding delivery until we move to our new place.
Exhausted & excited,
