Subject: RE: BS: De-cluttering accountability - heave ho!
Dropped off a smallish box of Halloween and Christmas ornamental objects at the Goodwill this morning. It's interesting, how when the most obvious clutter is moved out of an area you can see that the underlying material isn't necessary either. Or that the underlying stuff really has good bones and now needs to come into its own.

A couple of years back there was a program on one of the DIY or Discovery channels that had people fishing around in basements and attics to find forgotten treasures and things to move or re-purpose and then decorate a room in the same house that needed it. It was sometimes a little odd (like the white picket fence they installed in an attic bedroom) but usually quite interesting. Does anyone have plans for that kind of work once you finish decluttering?
