Thanks for the Inspiration.

I just wanted to thank Melissa Michaels for her wonderful blog.  Its a real inspiration and has got me started on re-vamping my house to suite my retired lifestyle more.  Her blog is called The Inspired Room (linked here) and she is the first person whom I have found had a similar de-clutter method to me.  Such a nice feeling to find a like minded soul!

Melissa calls it the "A bag a day" method, I just call it the garbage bag fill!  You can read about my method in my blog post 5 steps to redecorate an exiting home.  Last week I went through my "good" wardrobe of clothes.  Mostly they are outfits I have worn to work functions, race days, sponsorship dinners etc. and I won't be wearing them again.  In fact, I have not worn them for 2 years.  So I started another bag(s) for the Op shop!


I have decided that I will try to sell some of them however, on the website Gumtree, as some of them are designer labels.  I figure even if I get a small amount of money for them, I know it is going to someone who really wants the outfits and will appreciate them.  Then I can buy something I want. 

If you want some inspiration, just take a look at Melissa's new book Love the Home you Have, which will be out soon.
