Not Quite Marie Kondo #1

We are working on a clean up /rid out of 

our home pre reno ! 

I seem to have the attention span of a gnat, so

we made a list of every area to be renovated  

and will pick a location or two,  to be sorted each day !

We are not minimizing for the sake of 

having less , nor are we "deeply moved" 

to pare down all of our possessions. 

We just want to be able to use 

what we have wisely and well without 

lots of clutter in the way!

You can follow along on my 

" Not quite Marie Kondo" 

 tab above if you'd like.  It is like 

another treasure hunt !  I am sure we 

will find some 

  very interesting items!

 

Time to get started!

Planning a big reno and having 

to empty out our living space 

is certainly  a great time to clean 

up and rid out!

Here is the  jar of all locations and 

each day we  pull one or two to tackle!

First up were some easy ones!

The "serving side table and shelves".

We found a great selection of commemorative plates, 

Slightly creepy, but DH favorite. 

 Kind of like the wolf picture that hung

in a bedroom where I grew up. 

Slightly scary but you always wonder what was down the road!

Not sure who graduated from Western then

but they must have 

really become attached! The two family PhDs 

graduated from here so maybe a keeper?

Three will be donated, and two will be passed to 

friends who would like them. 

Some hot chocolate was moved to snack drawer,

 napkins sorted and

 2 delayed holiday gifts were moved to storage.

I made this goodie for our gift exchange but 

a nasty little virus delayed that !

Sadly, the map went back to the map drawer. 

We have to cancel our drive west since 

we are still in the midst of the pandemic here in 

Canada and the other provinces are restricting travel.

Finally , the teacups were moved to the display area

and the task was complete!

#1 complete!

The platters have been stored in the basement 

out of harms way during the renovation. 

I hope the next location is as easy!

Keep tidy!
