Yesterday I arrived home with two massive carvings from Uganda but where can I hang them?
My house is full of bric-à-brac From countries far and wide where we have lived and worked.. I also bought an amazing painting some time ago that I could not find a space for in any of my rooms , I have every wall covered in mine and others paintings, portraits of every member of my family, country scenes etc etc etc. artefacts cover shelves. A nightmare, my youngest says, inspite of guests politely stating its a house of interest. "And I think it is ". However I have to start sorting the place out. Muddly house, Muddly mind I suppose.
I've been threatened by offspring with them getting me on TV Hoarders. I was told by a close friend a psychologist that my hoarding is a sign of insecurity. Will have to go through the pain of sorting it out (sometime)

Kate, when it stops you moving through the house and or is filthy then it is an illness - until then it is just 'comfortable clutter'

I would love a clutter free home, and do aim for it, but live with two very untidy people, and two dogs!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

kate weve had this conversation before
please try and declutter
keep your memories in your heart
and make a start
you can do it

Kate,

I don't think we are as bad as you. We are trying to de-clutter. At the last count we had about 90--yes ninety good drinking glasses of different sizes. This included several Waterford Glass. Have also got a German wall clock with Westminster chimes valued at over £500. Also have some Lladro which nobody seems to want.

No body wants stuff these days I'm afraid
It's a great shame

Kate - It's your house and your clutter

Do with it whatever makes you happy.

The terrible thing is Aggers that I know I have to get it sorted, guests and friends find it fascinating, I dare not take
Anyone down to the garage or office..more stuff has to go to charity shops including clothes etc.
I do give a lot away just need to give a lot more.

I'm with Aggers, if you want to keep it, then keep it xxxxxxxx
