[quote=Anonymous]DD and I Kondo'd the house this summer. DD, who is a senior in college, had read the book earlier and was really into it. Our neighbors were amazed by the piles of trash and the boxes and bags for Value Village (did you know they pick up?) and asked us to come deal with their attics.

The one thing I haven't done yet is go through the photos, but I think I may ignore Marie's advice there. I feel like my memories make me. I'll get rid of lots of photos, but I'm sure I'll end up keeping more than she'd approve of.

Also, I too have tons of inherited furniture, including Danish mid-century like OP mentioned (maybe we should swap notes?). Also some pretty good older stuff, from the early 1800s and even a few earlier pieces. This is the reason I'm not selling the house and moving into a condo just yet. Much of the furniture is from family--memories again--and climate controlled storage is several hundred a month. So in the end it's about even between the current house mortgage vs. a 2- or 3- bedroom condo plus storage. Sorry, Marie.

I do think there's a difference between living in a tiny apartment in Tokyo and having a house in Maryland.[/quote]
