I've been slowly but surely tidying up our small bedroom. For the past few years it has been my crap receptacle but for the past 18 months it has been in an unacceptable state. Not a room I wanted to go in but as it contains my clothes and my escape bed, I couldn't always avoid it. I'm at the closet cleaning stage as it occurred to me the clothes in the closet were not the clothes being worn (I'll address the reason why in another post). I was taking out my shoes and it started to get funny then it got ridiculous. There are 46 pairs in the picture and that is just what was in that closet. It doesn't include the ones I'm wearing, my wedding shoes, a pair of Mickey Mouse sneakers, some killer green suede pumps and all my winter wear. The total of my footwear is probably around 57 pairs. Of these shoes, I could probably immediately cull out only about 5 pairs. I need to be ruthless and ask myself: how often I wear them; are they comfortable; are they out of style; do they still fit me; and, do I need them? It's a challenge.
I want to get this room in better order so that it is welcoming to me as I'd like to put a writing surface in there. I'm typing this on a TV table in the living room, not the most comfortable or quiet spot.
