New Room

June half term I made the commitment to re-decorate my room. The previous colour of peach was way past it's prime. It has now been painted a deep duck egg green called 'Opulent' by the manufacturer. This kind of decorating is also perfect time to do a bit of house keeping and de-cluttering my room. Good-bye to my GCSE, A-level notes, the majority of my degree notes and anything else that added up to about five bags of recycling, and bags of other stuff for the charity shop. A little move around of the furniture, and also another good-bye in my room, my penguin curtains are off the rails and I am making a new set. I will find a new use for them I imagine. I've also discovered eBay to sell a few bits that are just too nice to go for free. 

New curtains!

While de-cluttering, I was thinking how hard it is to emotionally detach from things, they are just things, why is there such an emotional attachment to things. Yet, if I haven't used something in two years, why should I worry about it leaving my life? I know that as soon as I throw something away I'll think of something or find a need for it. I do have less now and it still fits in my room. I didn't want to think I'm a hoarder, but I guess I am.
