No.476: What I Decluttered // December 2020 & January 2021

This challenge took me 16 long months, but I am finally DONE!! What an adventure. More posts to come with reflections and tips.

WHAT I DECLUTTERED THE PAST TWO MONTHS

15 books.
One chair slipcover.
4 treat bag kits.
30 pieces of clothing. This included a few pieces from my closet as well as a bunch that the kids have outgrown. I sold most online and gave the rest to Goodwill.
One pair of fake eyelashes. Gave to my sister. She’s way cooler than I am!
One Christmas-y decorative dish. As I went through my Christmas bin, I separated a few things that I no longer need. This dish sold on Poshmark.
A training potty. A big day for our family – six kids and they’re all now potty-trained!
Three dress-up costumes. Sold on ebay.
One chandelier. We switched out our dining room chandelier and donated the old one to the Restore.
3 broken toys.
2 dog toys. We passed these on to my brother’s new puppy.
6 empty egg cartons. My son brought them to the farm to be reused.
One new set of accent door knobs. The previous owners left this set behind and we’re going in a little different direction. Sold on ebay!
One pair of boot cuffs.
One math answer book.
One Lego set. I accidentally purchased a duplicate Lego set for one of the boys and decided to just sell it versus dealing with a return. (The return fees practically negated the purchase price.) Surprisingly, I sold it right away on Poshmark!
2 toddler ride-on toys. This one was bittersweet, but we don’t have any little ones to ride these anymore. We gave them to a sweet lady through Trash Nothing who is going to save them for her nephew’s baby boy.
One exercise bike. We’ve had this stationary bike for a few years now and Mark and I quickly learned that neither of us like to use it. We sold it on Craigslist (for almost the amount we paid!) and used the money to buy a rowing machine instead. Hopefully it will see much more use!
One coffee mug.
11 coloring books and notebooks. I went through all of our coloring books/notebooks and tossed a ton of the used ones into the recycling bin.
One pair of soccer shin guards. None of the little kids have any interest in organized soccer, so time to let these go.
4 throw pillow covers.
3 kitchen gadgets.
One makeup bag.
One Willowtree figurine. Another piece that I’ve had for a long time and no longer display. Time for someone new to enjoy it. Sold on ebay.
