No Accessories Party

My first linky party!  I'd been catching up on some blogs Friday and came across The Nester's post about ridding your house of accessories for the month of June.  I'm a week late, but decided to do it anyway.  I thought I'd gotten rid of most of my accessories as we are still in a state of renovation and I didn't want to have a bunch of stuff around.  However, upon closer inspection, I discovered I still have a lot of things.  Here are the main areas I decluttered.

Here are the shelves in the kitchen on the right-hand side of our window.  Not so bad...

But here's the after: (Yes, that's a tv antenna for the 2 channels we get! Oh and I must do something about all those black wires!)

Here is the breakfast nook on the lefthand side.  Lots of stuff, junk and tools!

 Here it is all cleaned up!

Here's HH's dresser:

 And after:

Here's my dresser:

 And here it is now:

Boy that looks much better!

Here is a pile of all the stuff I gathered. Plus I found a couple more things after I'd taken this stuff out to our storage room.

  In the process, though, I broke a see-thru glass plate and the green, bumpy stemmed glass you see above in the yellow cup. My mom had a set of 3 glasses that I'd always admired and finally she gave them to me when I moved up to Halifax when I first met HH.  Sometime along the way, the brown one broke (it was my least favorite anyway) and I had 2- one for me and one for HH.  We do use them sometimes, but not often, so I thought I should put them away.  The bottom broke off so I may try to glue it back together! :-)

I like this exercise in decluttering.  We got a lot of work done this weekend and are finally moved into the front bedroom!! Yay! (DD is temporarily set up in the back room.) Our dressers are still in the back room so I can easily finish the drywall in the bedroom, but the bed is in and we slept there last night! I'd like to keep the bedroom as clutter-free as possible! 

I have a lot of progress to share on the master bedroom and DD's bedroom but I've got to start cutting some drywall so I'll write more on all that later!
