Well FINALLY, after goodness knows how many weeks, months, we finally have a closing date on our house and I can heave a modicum of a sigh (of relief).
For no other reason other than it's time to move on.
From a 6500sq ft house into a 3000 sq ft one. Trading living large for a spot on the lake and well, I am kind of done with a lot of the "stuff" that I have been carting around for well over 20 years and finding the process of "chuck it out if you haven't touched it in a while" to be quite cathartic.
My thanks to everyone who has sent emails and left blog comments of late. I'm sorry to be a poor respondent but hope you understand I'm a 'tad' busy and that you will bear with me as I make this transition.
SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!

That's quite a reduction in size, but I understand the desire to reduce and simplify, especially when I consider the view and joy of living along that lake! Hoping the move goes well for you. Love the photo, all those sharp angles

Good Luck with getting down there. When things quiet down let me know where you will feather your nest! xoxo

Moving is always hell.
Thinking about you, as you work your way clean to a new chapter!

One of the reasons I hate moving is dealing with the stuff. Congrats on paring down. Sending positive moving thoughts.

Good on you for the clean out - I found I was was lugging around stuff from state to state with it never leaving the packing boxes.
Sounds like quite the adventure you've embarked on. What does 3000sq ft equate to in Perth house terms? (I was hopless at maths at school!)
