So our house has become a bit too cluttered. I love all my collections and all the cuteness that surrounds us, but it is just too much. I feel stressed at home, uneasy. I am really sensitive to my environment so I think it's time to get rid of things. It's going to be hard to part with things I love but it's worth it to feel happier at home. This morning I am going to go through our main living area and put a post it note on anything I am willing to get rid of.

I am going to also change my mood boards to look less cluttered and redecorate the mantle and hang some new art. My style is consistently changing and it's time for some updates!

I love the photographs above. That is how I want our house to look and feel. I'm really excited about all the potential for cuteness and comfort we have at home.

I have so many books and that is one thing I am anxious to go through. I love books and it's going to be hard to let some go. I thought you could never have too many books, but I think you can when looking at them is overwhelming!

Now that my depression has decreased I have realized more and more that I want to collect experiences and not things. When I was in the gutter of depression I didn't have the energy for experiences, to travel, to try new things, even just little things like going on a  coffee date were too much. I am excited to balance my life, to be free in all areas, even little things like how much clutter is in our house.

I will take some photographs of some of the changes. Wish me luck and lots of post it notes!

p.s. later today I am going on a coffee date to work on an outline for my book. I am so nervous but I actually have some amazing writers who are volunteering their time to give me advice! What a blessing, and what a scary thing to put myself out there! Fingers crossed I can get it done!
