Yep. We are doing a MAJOR declutterring yet again.
We’re thinking about having a garage sale after I bag up what I can for donation, because there’s just so much stuff. The kids are outgrowing everything. Toys, clothes, shoes, books… you name it. From games to roller skates.. they’re just growing up and they think everything they have is for babies now. 🤪 😂 I have a neighbor I can pass along boys clothes shoes shoes to, but most of the girls we know are older than Norah Harper. Gosh, they just grow so fast.
So far I’ve only really tackled the office area, which eliminated a lot of kids books, old mail, outdated magazines, and old school stuff.
I also hung my curtains!!! I love them so much. I have been procrastinating in getting them up because my rods had to be dropped 8”.
This is 4 panels (2 sets). 2 wouldn’t quite fit over our glass door.
But that’s what I did today. Well, that and I baked 5 loaves of bread for my neighbors orders and 1 for us. That’s become so normal that it doesn’t feel like work anymore. I just wake up and start baking and it’s part of my day.

I love that you make our home feel so nice. At least you don’t spend your free time dressing up like a roach.🪳

Thank you! I had those in my Amazon cart for over a year before I bought them. 😂 I’d move them back and forth to my “buy later”. I finally purchased them a few weeks ago when the price went down. They go in and out of stock constantly, but they’re really made nicely and black out the sun really well.

Great choice! I have plain muslin tab curtains in the living room that I’ve had forever. I’ve been thinking of changing them out this spring just to give the room a boost but really can’t decide what to replace them with. I’d love to have something bold like that but it’s a small room and I don’t want to overpower it 🙂

This is in a small area as well. It’s a little office area, and I had the exact same concern, but I really like the way it feels. I have gotten a little bolder with my decor and colors through the years and I love spaces that feel happy. 😊 We don’t travel, we’re not really vacation people, so I really put a lot into making my home comfortable. We’re such homebodies, so I like it to feel good.
You’ll know it when you find the right ones! I would definitely check Amazon bc I had zero luck finding anything locally and what I did find in stores were sooo expensive.
