I think we're quite minimalistic when it comes to home decor. We don't really tend to hold on to much that we don't need or use and we prefer to keep what's on show as clear as possible. 

We I struggle to let go of some of the boys things though, in particular things that have been worn a lot or played with a lot and passed down from Ethan to Logan. I'll always happily donate bags and bags to charity, but with things like that I tend to get really sentimental and end up wanting to keep it all - especially for the 'just in case' - in case we were ever to have another child, despite their currently being no plans to. ;)

Whilst a lot of our rooms are quite minimal to look at, our cupboards and wardrobes aren't quite the same and our garage before now, was the total opposite of minimal! It was packed to the top, mostly of rubbish and then some other things that we just needed to go through and organise and our eaves cupboard in our attic conversion was the same. It's too easy just to throw stuff in to a cupboard or garage and forget about it. What's that saying?.. Out of sight out of mind! ;) 

But Adam and I knew that sorting through it all was becoming a bigger and bigger job, so we recently set aside a whole day when they boys were at their Grandma's, to finally have a huge clear out.

This was the contents of our eaves cupboard after we'd emptied it out.. Who knew it could fit so much in??
