Hubby asked the other day about one pair of his jeans
yep you guessed it they were in the laundry I "found" them
when I did the laundry this week!
I've started with the next round of de-cluttering and have the car trunk
half full again this week. Sorted out another dresser my half and now have me things
put away after I pulled out the too small stuff and stored away the summer items.
Amazing how that helps!
Have a picture in with the stuff and having less on the walls is refreshing!

Re: September's Dynamic Declutter
Blessed, that is a wonderful story of how you have/are changing. I'm happy for you.
Nancy, you are really cleaning out a lot. I don't like walls overly covered. We were recently in a customer's house. She had everything covered in multiple shelves, pictures, do-dads. DH thought it was very pretty, and though everything was clean, I didn't like it one bit. He and I talked about it, he thinks walls should be used for stuff. He has always wanted our hallway back into the family room to be used for family pictures, like a gallery, covered. I refuse to let him do that. I don't think I could stand it.
In this house I put pretty colors everywhere. I like to see the bare spaces / colors. I do have some pictures hung, but not all over.

Re: September's Dynamic Declutter
I don't like overly cluttered walls either. I think it takes away the importance of what you treasure.
tossed the old pillows from dd15 and put on the new ones I bought on her bed for her to change her sheets.

Way to go Lynlee!
Yesterday on our way home from brunch out
I had hubby stop at the good will store and donated the half of trunk load of items.
That sure felt good!

Re: September's Dynamic Declutter
Stopping by to cheer on Nancy and Lynlee and Harriet who are cleaning and decluttering like tornados these days.
Talked with Sunny who hasn't been by for a few days. She tells me she and DH are working on closets and have lots of stuff pulled out, in that temporary messy state on the way to neat & organized. I hope she gets to stop by to tell us about it.
