    I'm the perfect example of someone who needs to declutter. It's even getting difficult to dust everything. Even sicker.....I kinda like those two rooms. Maybe I need a clutter "intervention"

    Love the first one ~ they've doubled their clutter having that mirror there! Almost all my stuff is in boxes {house on market} so there's no clutter here, but sometimes a little pile of stuff is comforting and home-like.

    Yikes!

    There are probably some beautiful pieces in those rooms, but you'd never notice them.

    I like a little "something" sitting out, but not that much :)

    I am the declutter queen! In fact if I was a Mary Engelbreit cartoon I would be the "Queen of quite a little".

    akkkkk...too much stuff! There is a lot of pretty things in the room but they get lost in all the clutter. I'm always paring down and simplifying. :)

    Hi vickie, long time no see. Im having a me day and im blogging until my heart is content. Im sure there are so many beautiful items in those rooms but there is so much of it, that its just all melting together. I have to have my rooms very simple and decluttered, it makes me feel more relaxed. I know simple isnt for everyone but in our home i do live by the ole saying "less is more"
    hugs

    Those photos give me a creepy feeling. I cannot stand clutter! One time my older sis said to me, "Cindy what can I do to decorate my house?" I didn't say it, but I should have, kindly of course, "Get rid of all the clutter! Sometimes just a good cleaning and taking out everything that is not truly decorative can help tremendously. But whoever decorated those rooms thought the items on the walls and on every surface WAS decorative! You come up with some very fun posts! Hugs, Cindy S.

    Hey there!
    Your walks on your grounds sounds awesome. I'd think it would be very relaxing and would allow you to unwind any time of day.
    What a huge blessing,

    Yes, clutter is like a dog. If you don't take it out once in awhile it will mess up your house.
