This outside shot was taken a few summers ago.
On my blog yesterday I said I would be spending the day cleaning out and simplifying my writing cottage. I wasn’t sure I’d get it all done in one day. But I did! This was the hardest room for me to do. So many sentimental things.
But in wanting to live with less stuff, which I’ve been clearing out of my house over the years, I felt ready to tackle my 10 x 12 writing cottage. Twp large garbage bags went into the trash, two and a half large garbage bags full of stuff I will be donating to Goodwill, and about 100 books I’ll be donating to our local Friends of the Library for their used book sale this summer.
At the end of the day I felt elated! I’m so excited about my new open, simplified look and I can’t wait to have my first yoga practice in my cottage, which was one of many reasons for clearing out stuff, organizing and cleaning.
Below is a BEFORE video of photos and an AFTER tour. Hope it inspires you!
