Teresa and I are, so it seems, hoarders. And in our tiny Victorian end-of-terrace, it just doesn’t work. so it’s time to get rid of more stuff!
Today’s trip to the dump sees us moving on a pair of chairs. I was going to strip and and paint them. But it turns out… I ain’t! Just need to thin things down.
Also I finally got shot of a very nice Freecycle solid wood door. This was intended for our new front door. But it was too big. And in the end I just didn’t get around to using it. So I chopped it up, and dumped it.
Maybe I should’ve kept it? Purely for the timber. But my sanity currently demands that I jettison stuff. A cluttered and chaotic home is not conducive to calmness, for me.
Similarly, we got rid of this ‘carriage lamp’ style light. I’ve put a few similar-ish lights up, around the place. But this one just lay around making the environs look ‘orrid. So it’s off to the knackers yard.
Likewise we bid adieu to a load of foam matting. I’d used it for a while in the workshop. But then it’d been taken out, and just left hanging around, adding to the ‘hillbilly heap’ vibe!
There’s still sooo much more to be got rid of. But it’s always good to chip away; little by little…
