I don't always get a gasp of astonishment from my husband when he gets home. (Maybe I could, but that would be promising more than I can deliver.) But I did yesterday.
I just covered the
freedom of giving. With no more specific goal in mind than decluttering, I'm proud to report transforming another space from a Before to an After.
More Before Pictures...

| Original guest bedroom, 2010 |
We got rid of a table from my student days, emptied junk off a great office desk and moved it in. The bookshelves went behind the couch - but we could still reach them, sort of.

| Reshuffled guest bedroom |
Slowly and surely, items found better homes. The office desk went into our
new office. I
released books and the little bookshelf holds
kids' books in the kids' room. A chair is now my
reading sanctuary in our bedroom, and another small shelf is holding up a family dollhouse.
I looked over (from my
standing desk) one day and saw what could happen if I cleaned up some stray small clutter.
And now for the happy ending...
Not only can we reach our books again, we can sit down and read them too.
"Why didn't we do this before?" asked DH. Honey, now you know.
And I post these photo histories to show you that if I can do this with
the stuff we had, anyone can.
Where are your histories waiting to happen?
