So today in the 31 day photography challenge Shelley gives us the prompt of Clutter. While food and clouds gave me a challenge I couldn’t overcome, clutter is pure simplicity for me!
It seems like everywhere I look in our house there is clutter. I know we are not the only ones who feel that way because I hear a lot of talk about people going minimalist and there are a lot of folks my age looking to downsize.
We’ve slowly been trying to take steps to repurpose some of the things we no longer hold dear. I’ve started a collection of things we may use for a garage/yard sale this summer.
In addition to this batch, there are 2 more plastic containers in my closet and I haven’t even gone through MY clothes yet!
How much space we will have when these things are gone remains to be seen. I have a feeling that no matter what it is still going to look like we have a lot of stuff. If we are able to sell some things, that would be a bonus. If not, I’ll call the local charity and have them come and pick it all up.
I don’t know if taking all the color out makes it look any less cluttery.
Some may consider this clutter too, but to me it is artist at work.
I’m making a baby album and when I am deep in the process, things are everywhere.
In this instance, I think making it black and white makes it look a little bit more organized.
I did make a bag of crafty items that I know I won’t use to give to our friends who are coming over today to watch the safe and sane fireworks we are allowed to shoot off. She is a teacher and I know that supplies are sometimes hard to come by so win-win for both of us! How about you? Got clutter? Trying to downsize?
Thanks again to Shelley at Quaint Revival for organizing this little picture program. Have a happy 4th to all in the USA.

I can’t live in clutter. Oof.
BUT! In the midst of a project, a mess is to be expected! 🙂

I guess I’ll say I’m in the middle of a project throughout my whole house! Then it won’t seem so bad, right?

If it doesn’t bother you, why should it bother me? Do your thing 🙂

A project in the works clutter is very different from day to day clutter… as long as it is all cleaned up eventually. Good luck on your decluttering: it makes a world of difference.

For sure. I can’t start a new project until the mess from the old is cleaned up. Funny how that doesn’t always translate to the rest of the house isn’t it?

Thanks, Shelley. It is fun to stretch my imagination like this. I don’t usually look for reflections or change the shading.
