My Rothko walls, part 3

*slumps*

Well, the walls are all painted. I'm too tired to take pictures, and besides, all the tape and plastic is still up. My armchair and four large bags of clutter to be donated are out on the porch and I'm sitting here in the kitchen, staring, a little too tired to go to bed.

Naturally, painting has led to more decluttering. I like the walls so much that I don't want to put anything back up on them. I'm getting rid of a ton of books, most of my DVDs, my home-theater-in-a-box (which includes the DVD player), and the stand my TV's been perched on since I bought it. I'm thisclose to getting rid of the TV itself, since I can't even remember the last time I turned it on. But car-less AND TV-less? I'm not sure I'm prepared to be that un-American.

Okay, time to go scrape some of the paint off my feet and go to bed.

I am TV-less but not car-less. I tried car-less but it's not just possible here where I live.

P.S. You are adorable. Get some good sleep.

Congratulations on finishing paiting the walls and on further dejunking.

I envy your ability to part with books - I still can't bring myself ot grt rid of them, though I have had more success with DVDs (the fire substatially reduced my collection and then I realised a hard drive crammed with avi files takes up a LOT less space than shelves of DVDs). Currently I am down to oe small cupboard of DVDs and slowly reducing it.

I got rid of my TV back in 2008 since I watch everything on the laptop and I can honestly say I don't miss it. *G*

Now if I could just thin down my knick knacks ad ornaments and pottery and things! I shall resume tacklign it all when I get back to London *G*

Well done, you! And decluttering as you go as well.

a little too tired to go to bed.

I hate that feeling.

But car-less AND TV-less? I'm not sure I'm prepared to be that un-American.

Yeah, they might take your passport off you. :)

I hope you sleep well, all the better to appreciate the fruits of your labours on the morrow.

I think being TV-free is just being a different kind of 'Merakin.
