Hoarding

Those that know me well, know that I have OCD about keeping a clean and organized home. It's a blessing and a curse. If I let the house go to pot, I'd have lots of time for other things, but instead, most of my time is spent picking up, putting away, sorting through, and cleaning out. I have been this way my whole life. I'm usually okay parting with things because it rids me of unnecessary clutter. Since starting the home sweet sale, however, I've been finding it harder and harder to part with items because I've acquired such great things. Even though I don't need it, even though I don't have a place for it, I think "but maybe someday, somewhere, somehow I can use it!" I imagine that's how hoarding starts. Things just keep piling up until it's outta control. I'll show you what I mean:



This is the one room that I've given up on. It was just about empty after the last sale and now it looks like this already. Yikes! Lucky for you though, I'm not hanging onto all of this. The majority of it will be coming with me to the sale in a couple of weeks although I'm sure it won't be long until I fill it up again! I'll also be posting some furniture on the sale this afternoon so check it out!
