Featured Hoarder or storer?

Now we'll need tales of the SO's inherited hoard too.(LOL)

 

Nothing to see there, sorry. But it is amazing how much stuff accumulates in a smallish house over 40 years, and how much work it is to sort it all out and dispose of it or keep it. Luckily SOs dad was about my size so plenty of hand me down clothes. I am not a follower of fashion.

 

Minimalism went out the window for me when I started going to estate auctions. Too much nice stuff selling cheaply to restrain myself. I'm not to the point yet where I can't see the floor but have piles of stuff everywhere and not enough shelving to accommodate it all. I've been trying to focus on collecting small/easy to store items to combat my space, clutter problem but it is not easy. My art pottery collection is the number one bane of my existence currently since it takes up so much room and I have to be careful on where I place it. In retrospect I should have focused more heavily on smaller collectables, but that ship has sailed. Would love to get some more square footage.

 

Has this changed since the house clearance enterprise? I'd find it hard not to keep a lot of the nice stuff you find especially when it was acquired at low cost.
