Sophia, you're doing great! I remember your early days!! I'm on a decluttering journey too, years long as well. I laughed because you stressed over not getting rid of mugs. My guilty pleasure is buying seasonal mugs, I LOVE mugs, and look forward to my morning coffee in my cute mug. I keep my collection in a decorative cabinet in the dining room and I switch out the mugs in my kitchen cabinet according to the holiday. Right now I'm having fun with all my Valentine's mugs. I agree that we're not all made to be minimalist, and we set the rules for our own households and how much stuff we're comfortable with. Yes, I'm trying to declutter and downsize the STUFF in our house, but there will always be tons of mugs. Lol They bring me joy! I think people forget that we are allowed to keep items that bring us actual joy. Don't feel guilty!! You're doing great!!

Been with you from the beginning! And you have made so much progress over the years, it’s definitely working! I finally did my first big decluttering in Feb 22, and for this discussion …I decluttered down to 2 mugs…. Got rid of the twin bed sheets , except for the grandbabies , purged down to 4 bath towels…Ironically my 82 yr old mother moved in 8 months later, VERY suddenly and completely unexpectedly, and I actually had to BUY 2 mugs , 2 sheets of sheets and we are always washing bath towels ! My brain tried to convince me that is the reason not to continue the purging…. But keeping anything because SOMEDAY your mother might move in and need a mug is not a rationale argument. Keep going and know that you are motivating someone out here ! Here’s to another 10 years Sophia!

Yay! I love decluttering with you! What you say is exactly what I am thinking when I am going through my stuff. What makes sense for you to keep may not be what I would keep, but that's ok, because it's your kitchen! And that's ok. I am also a mug person. I have a small collection of cat mugs that I don't use because they are too small, but I love them, so they will stay. However, I only have one shelf in one cabinet to keep them along with ones that I do use. So, not to enable you 😉, but to merely share an organizing tip, I bought one of those wire shelves that allow me to have two rows of mugs that only take up one shelf. Every now and then I get to capacity and have to let some go that I don't use anymore or that get chipped to make room for a new one. I still get to look at the mugs that I love on the top tier, while using the mugs that have enough ounces for my tea!

Hi Sophia, I have a shelf full of mugs, 3 mugs deep and stacked 2 mugs high. That is after my declutter of them which I did the first week of December. I also bought 3 more because I wanted some “to go with my colour scheme”. I’ve recently changed the lower cabinet doors to navy blue, the upper cabinets are still white. After 10 years of a black and white kitchen I needed some colour in my life. Kitchen is now finished so both my husband and i decided we need to start decluttering our whole house. His mother died last year and he came to the conclusion that she was a clutterbug and he’s heading in the same direction. I’m not so bad, but I still have stuff that needs to go. This year is going to be the year for the big declutter. One room at a time. Each room may take a month, as you say, it’s a process. But we’ll do it. We don’t want our children to have to spend months going through the house when we die, like we did when his mother died. It took 8 months! So that’s our plan. Today you’ve inspired me to make a start, so I re-homed a dinner service to my son and his fiancé. They moved into their first purchased house last year. They had very few plates 2 I think they said. Well done you! Thank you for getting me moving on the big declutter!

There is and has always been (35 years) two of us, but I have enough stuff in my house for 25 people….kitchen, clothes, crafts, bedding….on and on it goes. I cant see the stuff I love and use for all the extra stuff I have. This year is the year when I truly purge.
