More Downsizing

In a continued effort to downsize and simplify I'm starting to consider getting rid of some of my wall hangings.  For years now I've had more things ready to hang on the walls than I've had wall space to hang it all. I have my favorites that always make the cut to the wall and others that never do. 

I'm not quite sure why I've hung onto all these for so long, why it has never occurred to me to get rid of some before. Don't know why, but I can't blame this one on the migraines or the fibromyalgia. 

I plan to give some away, rescue some of the frames and maybe try to sell a few. The very thought of getting rid of some of these items has given me a sense of freedom. Each time I realize I don't need, want or enjoy some of the stuff we own a little weight is lifted. 

My final goal is to own nothing that isn't useful, beautiful, or productive.

  1. I have so many things in the attic and in storage. I don't know why I still have them. I don't plan on moving to a house with more space, or wall space. We bought this house because it is smaller than any house we've ever had. I guess the sentimental value has me hanging on, even though I haven't seen some of these things in several years. Good for you for getting rid of what you don't have room for! I wish I could do it. Maybe one of these days :)

    1. I think that's why I've held on for so long - sentimental reasons. Don't know why I don't feel it anymore for many of my items.

  2. Felt your vibe and was able to donate a couple cubic feet of clothes that I just don't need today-thanks for giving to the world so unselfishly.

    Beautiful. Useful. Productive. goals to live toward ...
