It’s raining outside, and it’s time to let you inn on how the last part of my packing party went!
As you might remember from a few weeks back, I told you my guest room was next on the list.
Weeeell… it didn’t go quite according to plan… The guest room is a horrible room to do the pretend packing party on, as I think I probably have almost as much stuff in this one room, as I have it the rest of the house put together!
As I mentioned before, the room have a few big huge IKEA wardrobe cabinets. And since I don’t really have any indoor storage rooms, I use these cabinets to store all my linens, towels, guest bedding, sport items, computer peripherals, office stuff, Christmas decorations, photo collections and I could go on 😉
As good as my intention was to pull everything out, pack it up and leave it for a few days, I lost heart somewhere in the middle and just couldn’t do it..
You see, I have gone through and decluttered this room several times over the last few years. And there have been soo much stuff that have gone out-the-door, specifically from this one room, that I’m now having a really hard time.
But, even though I didn’t pack it up, I still found a few things, that needed to go out-the-door, which after all, was the idea behind the packing party 😉
When I did my living room, most of the stuff that I found that needed to go out-the-door, got “stored” in my guest room, so below you will find the result from both the guest room and living room.
So why don’t we just get to it! Here it is, the results from my living room and guest room – 56 items out-the-door! I have to admit, it’s not as much as I would have wanted, but this time around, there are a few bigger items, so storage wise, I have actually cleared out a bit…

- 1 tennis ball
- 3 puzzles
- 1 battery run toothbrush
- 2 charger “stations”

- 6 practice golf balls
Living room – 26 items out-the-door
- 1 small “vase”
- 1 VHS tape
- 1 glass bowl
- 2 DVD Cases
- 4 table place mats
- 1 table runner
- 2 fruit/decorative bowls
- 1 large glass decorative bowl/vase

- 1 large headset
- 2 tall vases
- 1 gamegear

That’s a lot of stuff out the door, so I say job well done!! 😀

Every little bit helps. I need to spring clean (a little late, I know) and downsize even more than I have. When I moved, I moved into a smaller place which forced me to rethink my belongings. But I do need to go thru them again and oust more items. You encourage me!! 🙂
