This is a sampling of our progress;  sorting,  packing,  identifying and then deciding to either donate, sell or give away or throw away.  Overwhelming to say the least,  and this doesn’t even include our garage or the bedrooms.  So if you see anything like this in your own home, and want to change it,  stick with me.

These photos are from the first move out of our old home of 12 years.

Unfortunately, when the dust settled we found that we barely made a dent in the mountain of belongings we have.  Thus our new found desire to get rid of it all! ( not “all,” but it feels really good to say “ALL” )

Right now (mid September 2011) we have a fairly large storage unit stuffed full, lawn furniture sitting outside,  lawn equipment and a garage loaded with more stuff.  We need to start a super serious purge.

I swear I am going to get this done, one step at a time.

Please join us on our journey to “living better with less.”

Artist pottery collection, purchase over the years from the local college.

Painting supplies, looks like everytime we painted we bought new supplies. Ugh!

These are some of the many empty boxes we kept, you know in case something breaks – everything breaks.

Found inside son’s closet, one pair isn’t even his.

All attempts to organize photos – before digital – a real nightmare.

These boxes came out of the attic – never put anything in an attic.
