Paring Down One Closet, Drawer or Cabinet at a Time

Clutter.

Its everywhere.

I've been living with it long enough!

I am going to start at my front door and clear out every closet, drawer and cabinet. I am going to unearth the underbed "storage" and above cabinet "decorations."

I am going to be brutal in my judgment. I am going to follow the creed

“Having nothing in your homes that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” -William Morris

I am going to donate and donate and donate and sell. I will accomplish this in the following way:

• I will start at the front door and work my way clockwise around my home.
• One at a time I will empty a closet, drawer or cabinet and lay out every item.
• I will determine the items' usefulness and/or beauty.
• I will not hold onto sentiment. I will be brutal.
• I will clean the closet, drawer or cabinet and then place the items I have deemed worthy back in their homes.
• I will document every step with photographs for longevity.
• I will donate or sell items I discover of little use or beauty in my life.

I am very excited about this journey. I am looking forward to documenting it on my blog.

Now, lets get started!
