In my dream world, these shelves would all be lined withwall-to-wall books.

Unfortunately, the shelves themselves didn’t lend themselves to this plan.
Up until now, I filled them with family photos and a few coffee table books.
In the spirit of recluttering, I decided to change things up.

I decided to start by adding items into these specific spots and see how that worked.
The Midpoint: Finally Feeling Well-Cluttered
The midpoint of this project was the most daunting.
As a result, I wasn’t sure what to really put here.
Next, I decided to sprinkle around some smaller decor items.
This weekend, I picked up two bud vases by a British artist named Richard Pomeroy.
Best of all, one is perfectly aligned with the current “unexpected red theory” trend.
I was able to display other items Id normally store until a special occasion.
As a result, recluttering isn’t really about making clutter at all.
I call recluttering a winnow I just need to convince my spellcheck.
