I didnāt take pictures but we have a table in the basement that is intended for puzzles and whatnot but also winds up being, like, the Buy Nothing staging area. It collects things.
I took the Buy Nothing rejects to the thrift store, found a less useful surface (a dresser awaiting painting) for some of the other stuff and made enough space that I could start my Lego set! Functionality restored! (Now if I could just figure out how to raise the temperature down there about 61 degreesā¦)

20 dresses currently fit me and now live together in my primary closet. There are an additional ~30 dresses in my secondary closet I couldnāt part with (yet).

I like those numbers.
I had a large framed poster that I no longer had a spot for, I wasnāt sure if anyone would like it but shared a picture on in a local group. Someone snapped it up right away and did a porch pick up the next day!
Edit cause I forgot to say they shared a picture of them with the poster later and a huge grin! Iām so happy they love it as much as I did when I got it originally.

After getting a new shampoo system that my hair likes, I cleared out all items ( masks, conditioner, leave-in conditioners, hair gel and spray left from visiting family members) from the bathroom and they are now gone to someone elseās home. I have extra space!

I finally decluttered and rearranged my guest room! It had become a landing place for anything I didnāt want to deal with or didnāt want in the rest of my house. But, I have a friend coming to stay in April and I wanted to make it a cozy room that also has an office corner. It took me about a month to move things and build furniture that had been sitting in boxes for way too longā¦the room is so much more functional, and now I spend a lot more time in there because the āofficeā has become a plant rescue space with humidifiers where my ferns are fighting for their lives in the desert

Shit it looks SO good.

That looks really good!
I love how Oliverās bed looks like itās the same size as the human bed
Also is that a plant in a closed plastic tote? Is that for humidity? Or does Oliver have it out for just that plant

If it helps, it took me 3 years of living in this house to do this AND it was in a way worse spot when I had first moved in and the first year or soā¦itās easy to avoid when you donāt really use the space on a daily basis!
Jokes on me though because he still just sleeps on the human bed which is why none of my linens are nice anymore!
The plants in the tote are just quarantining because they are new Loweās clearance rack plants and apparently a lot of times they come with pests. Honestly, Iāve just been buying plants and putting them right out with my other plants but Iām trying to be more conscious about it now especially since itās almost Summer here and all the bugs tend to appear when itās warmer

For the goody bags for kiddos birthday party we used stickers, a bunch of matchbox/hotwheels from Mr. Ninjaās childhood, and snacks from around the house. The whole thing was super affordable and got rid of things we needed to!

Is there a good place to donate old shirts that have oil stains or tiny holes?
Okay I realized Google is probably better for this question. The answer seems to be, if thereās not textile recycling in your area, make them into rags or see if someone else wants them for rags.

yes this would be my advice! Great for car washing if you do that sort of thing.

H&M takes bags of textile recycling. I have a hamper in the basement set aside for this purpose next to the donate bin.

Got rid of our old big chest freezer! At first I was gonna sell it, but then I decided Iād love to try and support the farmers weāve done CSA with before (but couldnāt tackle this year). They came and picked it up yesterday and will use it for the meat shares they let members pick up there too.
Also got rid of some tools, some old kids clothes, a push walker that broke my heart to get rid of, etc on Buy Nothing.
