How I did it
How to get rid of clothes I don't wear
It took me
2 years
It made me

How I did it: It was great to finally do this. I bought a bunch of pretty new clothes, and cleared out everything that wasn't suitable, and everything I didn't wear, which was a lot. I only have about 8 tops now, but I wear them all, and I like them all. Read how I did it…

transform my home (read all 4 entries…)
Progress 1 week ago

Item 6d is now done. After looking on store websites, Craiglist, Kijiji for ages, I finally found a sideboard I liked enough to buy. I will likely need to refinish it next summer, but for now it is okay, and is already stocked with my china and flatware.

Next up: new light fixture for the dining room. Looking for a large-ish drum shade in either a dark neutral or a funky pattern.
