I have been thinking quite a bit about decluttering this month. The cleaning up of sparkly Christmas decor, the sudden emptiness once things are boxed and away, the start of a new year and of course, the release of the Marie Kondo Netflix series, which I’m sure is filling up most secondhand stores with many items worthy of sparking joy for all society 😉 I’m in the process of filtering through different things in our home, deciding what we can do without.
I thought I’d gather a few links that I have found refreshing with thinking about home and the New Year. Do you have any ways you clear your decks in January?
