17. Sink counter before and after decluttering

I know it doesn’t seem very exciting, but I have kept my bathroom counter exactly like this for a month now. Consistency is key for me!! Maintaining this means I can move on to the next area and keep it decluttered, too!!

18. Before and after bookshelf declutter

I’m a self-declared collector of books and office supplies, but these are the things that pile up in my bedroom and on the dining table, causing my husband and me intense anxiety.

I love how much I narrowed things down! I still need to work on my son’s toys, but there’s something that tugs on my heartstrings whenever I try to minimize more.

My goal isn’t to have bare walls or 5 toys to choose from but to be more intentional with what I bring into our home and into our time.

I appreciate you so much, Marissa! Thank you for sharing your story with us all.

  1. Dear Marissa, why do we see only 2 before-after-pics (no. 17 and no. 18); where are the no. 1-16? Or did I get sth wrong?? 🙄 warm regards, Maria

    1. Hello, dear Maria! I was working to split my blog to this new blog, and there was a technical glitch that messed up this post – it should be fixed now for your decluttering motivation. 🙂 Cheers!
