Been slowly and surely working on the clearing and de-cluttering...it seems to be taking an age and yes I am bored with it. Our lounge and hallway were re-carpeted on Thursday. We needed new carpets when we moved in over 15 years ago, but with poor Pirate suffering from incontinence in his final year, it definitely needed redoing! Finally it happened, and we took the opportunity of also changing the lounge around. An eight foot wide space doesn't give us many options...but we managed to come up with something we were reasonably happy with in the end. The wall unit was lifted onto the raised platform, which we contemplated removing, but which was going to end up too expensive and problematic to remove.

Loving the new carpet and the clearer space....of course there is still the question of what do do with some items of furniture that I don't want to put back in these two spaces as I am fed up with clutter and it is so much nicer now with less. I have sorted through various things that were in the items of furniture that have yet to be 'decided upon' and packed a couple boxes of pottery and vases that I want to keep, but don't want out at the moment. So they will be ready for any future move we may do.
