Magazines
I donated a handful of magazines and books this morning. Sorting paper is the hardest part of decluttering. Books and magazines, especially British home and European design magazines, become friends that are reread - and I miss them when I give them away. Well, I miss most of them.
I've decided to keep paring down. In Walsh's book, "It's All Too Much," he warns that it takes multiple passes through 'stuff' before a household is culled to the essence. I've gone from twenty magazine file boxes to eight, with a few tall stacks of European issues on gardening and home decor still to sort.
I'm living in someone else's dream when I look into a modern London townhouse, imagining myself in the spare, clean space. Realizing that they don't have a single picture of my house to clutter up their space!
