Decluttering and home maintenance

Very unwelcome news @Determined.

One laundry basket full of more fiddly sorting done. 🙂 Consistently, most of the volume is unwanted papers. Definitely need a bigger worm farm.

The "keepers", even including the "maybes" that Younger Daughter needs to look over, are something like 1/5 of the original volume. Maybe less.

That is a great effort @Smc

I need to to a bit more of that.

Love it @Determined ❣️

@Determined, I've got an added motivator in that the room this stuff is in is earmarked to be our bedroom. It used to be Younger Son's room, and he did a pretty good job of clearing it when he moved out, but then before I could give it a clean and spruce up, Younger Daughter decided it was a good place to put everything she didn't want to have in her room. (Grrrr...) I've tried very hard to only put things in there that I want in there as "our room", but with things coming back from my parents' place a few extras went in there. Not much, and at least that stuff is already "sorted".

So once I get the excess out of there, we can do the spruce up and move in. We've had mould problems in our house for a few years. There's some to clean off in the prospective bedroom, but the current bedroom is even worse. Really needs to be dealt with.

We've ended up with some nice 1920s bedroom suite furniture, from a couple of different sources, but it all matches. It will be the first time ever we've actually had a room of matching furniture! There will be a few non-matching bits too, but still close enough to be in character. 🙂

I don't really have a proper "home" sorted for Mum and Dad's things yet, but I reckon I can neatly store most of it under the bed until I can get there. Aaannnd once we've moved rooms, the next job on the list is decluttering the old bedroom, giving it a clean and spruce, and turning it into a lounge room which can be also used as a spare bedroom when family or friends come to stay.

Wardrobe similar to this...Bed similar to this....Dressing table similar to this but has an extra full width drawer...And for something different, two of these as bedside tables, one green, one yellow. 😛

Able to pass on a fair few moving boxes today. This included packing material (bubble wrap, old linen and butchers paper).

have been getting rid of our paper and things out of the filing cabinet bit by bit @Former-Member , @Smc , @Determined , @Faith-and-Hope , @Radleritis ,

you can nearly see the verandra table again ---- yaaaaa

Ata girl @Shaz51.

We are starting to get quotes for home maintenance and improvements.

@Radleritis some moving boxes for you ...

It can be overwhelming when the task ahead seems too much ... even small improvements make a difference ... can I gently encourage each of us to keep going (including myself 😀).
