When I knew I was going to have to seriously downsize I started that massive decluttering by imagining what I absolutely couldn't get rid of, the most precious things. And they weren't small things - my camphorwood chest for example, my 21st b'day present, 200 years old and with huge history, and the big table lamp as old as me... Then the essentials, kitchen stuff, bed, chairs, etc. Once that list was made and measured and I knew it would fit, then the rest became easier. Moving day was still incredibly hard and I still had too much stuff, lol, but slowly it all got organised and a place was found. Over the years there have been lots of changes, and it is still happening. Our homes are extensions of ourselves, reflections sometimes, and ever changing.
It is a challenging process though, and while I continue to divest - scandi death clearing style - I am pretty happy with my little bit of paradise, despite all the little traumas of letting go.
Start making lists, Mica, you have time...
