I have been watching videos on minimalizing for quite a while and as a result have been reorganizing drawers and shelves, getting rid of stuff I'll never use, but also finding things I didn't know I had misplaced. I have also been giving things away to people who actually be using them and that feels best of all. What is most appreciated is being able to see the bottoms of drawers and shelf space in closets.
This is WONDERFUL! Having moved to a retirement community--and an apartment much smaller than our house in Brevard--we have now been downsizing for years, and it continues to be challenging in every dimension (closets, kitchenware, artwork, fabric stash, half-finished projects of every kind...). But you are an inspiration, Deda! Thank you so much!
This all rings true for me and my husband. We currently struggle with this project. But-- I also see it as part of my recycling and reducing waste project for the end of the year. The struggle continues.

Loved this! and loved Sam's perspective! I am going to send you a book!

Ha Ha, I've been cleaning out too, and taking things to the thrift store.
I, like you, save some things because of the fabric. Make something out of it one day. However, I also cleaned out my bag of fabric. Some go for rags.
Feels good, and creates more air flow in closet.
Some things go back in Pipers closet to be decided on later. Need to go through her closet now. Haha!
I love Sam’s comment, it is so true about a man’s closet.
