Having rooms in transition makes it really easy (and necessary) to get rid of a lot items. Currently, the very large closet in my former office is full of the remnants of a home business I used to run. Since the business is now closed, and a little boy will need space for toys and clothes, everything needs to go! I started the task last week, and was happy with how successful I have been (although there is still a ton of stuff to get rid of!). I also went through my closet, and pulled a few random items from the den.
Here's my list:
1. box of kitchen knick knacks (I listed them on CL twice, with no interest - now they are going to the church rummage sale (next week))
2. giant stack of magazines (freecycled)
3. old business supplies (listed on Ebay and sold for $25)
4. old business inventory (listed on Ebay, the auction isn't over yet, but there are bids - so everything will be leaving!)
5. business samples and a large sample binder (sold on CL for $10)
6. clothing (took it GW)
7. couch from the den (sold on CL for $50 - it was picked up on Sat.)
8. old pet supplies (the guinea pig died in Sept, the Humane Society was thrilled to have a few bags of food and bedding)
9. frog pod, baby bathtub organizer thing (super cool, but we couldn't get it to work at our house :( someone bought it on CL for $10)
10. wine rack (my sister was happy to have this)
This has opened up a lot of space already, and I have $95 in my pocket!
Who wants to join in on the challenge?

That is awesome! After Christmas, I always go through our items and get rid of the unwanted things. We are actually going to have a garage sale in the spring to get some cash ;-) Good job!
That's a challenge I need to take on!! :)
It IS fun being a bossy wannabe decorator, isn't it? ;)
I just bought a Frog Pod. I LOVE it!
I need to through stuff away though!
Thanks for reminding me! I have a bunch of items in my storage room that I've been meaning to list on freecycle.org
