The KonMarie method

greenbee

I've evicted the surplus chair from my office and replaced it with a chest of drawers from the overcrowded spare room (it matches the office furniture as in my old house the office was in the spare room).

Now I have to work out what it is sensible to keep in there...

Hi, my name is GQ and I only have one chair and am feeling soooo inadequate.:rotfl:

It's a folding one from Ikeya, I think. Is the desk chair, the dining chair, the everything chair. Three peeps can sit on the sofa and if I have more company than that, I sit on the floor. But I do have 4 deckchairs in the lottie shed,

My Broadband connection has been Kondoed - apparently they need a cherry-picker to fix the line. However, it might do me good to spend a bit less time on the Internet!

Clutterfree, paperwork was the worst category for me. Take a rest for a few days, re read the Book and you'll get back into it because everything else will seem easy after that!

GQ - if you ever need an extra chair, just let me know

3 chairs in the bedrooms, 5 in the kitchen (the table extends to seat 8, but never has) 2 in the LR plus 2 x 3-seater sofas and a bean bag and 2 cast iron chairs outside with a little cast iron table. DH is off to iykyea next week to buy another! So we could seat 20 if we needed to:D:rotfl::). No competition for Greenbee though xx

Lol, does it come with some free space to stand it in? I'm toying with the idea of a second folding chair, which would mostly live in the shed, but come up to the flat if necessary (bike shed is about 15 m from the flat) but haven't committed to one yet.

Of course, if I saw something suitable for silly money, I'd rethink.

Righty, going offline to read before an early night. I'm dotting between some Sward and Saucery * and an old The Saint paperback.

Cheery-bye, lovely peeps.

* S & S is a combo gardening-cooking-adventure genre. Not to be confused with M & M which are sweeties, M &S, which aren't as good as they used to was, and S & M, which I'm far too young and innocent to know anything about.

Sorry.

I have been keeping up with the thread but not doing much kondo ing (RL! ).

A small victory meant I could take a nice JL mirror to CS. It's been waiting to be set free for a couple of months but because it cost good money and it was like new DH was not for getting rid. :mad: So it sat on top of my occasional table, bugging me. Anyway, we were darting out of the door yester and he reminded me to take a small bag of books for the charity shop and I said, 'yes, that mirror needs to go too', just grabbed it, said it really was time to let it go..... and off we all went!

The CS loved it and I am sure the new owner will too. It was such a relief not to have it, in the wrong place, nagging at me!! :T

The discussion about chairs led me to ponder the issue this evening. We don't have many (I do think we could let 2 go but not going to win that argument just yet......given me time ). The main trouble is that the 2 in the kitchen are not really used, the folding table in there is obscured by them and the table and chairs are in the way of a bookcase. It's the tetras problem again, folks!

I am pondering how best to deal with that 'jumble' and am thinking that I'd be better getting a different table, that actually fits the useable space. Something to mull over. I will find a joyful solution but it may take time

The whole thing made me wonder how to better use the bookcase, which DH uses as a sort of desk, depositing his work diary, mobile, keys, invoices, etc on as he comes home each evening. So, sorry for the rambling, but one thing led to another and I have found a couple of sturdy boxes so he can 'file' his stuff, it won't avalanche off the top if a butterfly flaps its wings, and it will look neat.

Am now feeling joyful, after being a bit despondent about lack of progress.:)

sometimes the easy, and probably fairly obvious solutions take while to surface, but they do come, and then it's..... JOYOUS

So, I Queen, you WILL get your mojo back. It maybe Boho mojo, but you'll get it.:beer:

Sorry.

are your neighbours smoking again, or was that just an excuse?
