Taking pictures helps, then you can look at them honestly and edit or move things around.<br />One thing I did learn as a decorator was to add some black to a room to ground it! I am sure you will figure something out and I can't wait to see it!!!<br />I have just wrapped your parcel, sorry I am so slow, I said it was ready ages ago and here I am just finishing up!!! Sorry, I am just stuck at the store forever during this bad weather, but hopefully we get a break soon!!! I will email you the details!!!<br />Hugs,<br />Margaret BThe French Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116285579159003933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-73205079035434162412009-10-14T18:59:29.555-05:002009-10-14T18:59:29.555-05:00Well, I looked at all the pics, but I don't ge...Well, I looked at all the pics, but I don't get it. I don't see anything wrong. Up next to my mix of colors, it looks rather sedate, frankly. But then I do have a riot of color here. I was going to say, before I saw the pics, that you might take everything out of the mix, then add one thing back at a time until you think it starts to look cluttered. But I don't think it looks cluttered. So I guess we have different ideas of how far to go!

Here's what I tell my clients who are in this same dilema. First, if you look at it and the thought of never seeing it again makes your heart break, then keep it. If you think you might miss it, then put it in storage for a while and see if you do. If it were to fall on the floor and break and you wouldn't be sad, then get rid of it. Personally I don't think you have too much stuff. I think you are, like me, needing a change. I suggest just rearranging some items and use the ideas above. I sure wish I could come help you with this. I've done it so many times for clients and friends and it's always so much fun!<br />bunny hugs,<br />shellMichelle May-The Raspberry Rabbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264870809778872918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-73704795765903433362009-10-14T11:41:41.687-05:002009-10-14T11:41:41.687-05:00I love my collections and my things and we live in...I love my collections and my things and we live in such a small cottage with very little storage.

Collections define our personalities, I think. I certainly feel your pain because I am a collector of Many things. I especially understand the problems of displaying items. I love those sparse white rooms too, but they just wouldn't work for me and my family. I like an eclectic look. Everything too 'matchy' isn't Me. Rotating your collections is a good idea. Sorry I'm not more help, your plight just reminds me so much of myself! Have a great day!

Her blog is on my blog roll.<br />And don't let all the so-called "perfect" photos that people post get you down...they are mostly staged within an inch of their life!<br />Hugs,<br />AnneAnne Loryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586805595011675799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-12100751409163984442009-10-14T07:15:25.332-05:002009-10-14T07:15:25.332-05:00I love your house and all that great sunlight that...I love your house and all that great sunlight that pours in.

If you changed nothing it would be ok. <br />I notice the 4 larger pictures among the sea of pictures you have up there. I may be tempted to take away the smaller items and keep the bigger /bolder pieces up there. Perhaps we could find a new cool way to display the picture collection...perhaps in smaller grouping in various places in your home ..if it would look right. I wish I had more room I would start a collection of pictures in my art room to store stuff in the.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884952008148879264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258439638299238385.post-91984792531609566022009-10-13T23:50:44.176-05:002009-10-13T23:50:44.176-05:00Hey Donna, I mailed the package today, it will pro...Hey Donna, I mailed the package today, it will probably take a few days to get there. I think it had boulders in it. Ha ha.<br />OK, I'm still hungry from your post on the crustless pumpkin pie! As far as editing goes, I need to do some serious work myself. Things have gotten out of hand with all my flea market and junkin' endeavors. But I'll tell you, I rotate things and collections. that helps me. Hmmmm..? maybe that's why my storage room is seriously out of control. <br />Love what your husband said. Guys, gotta love 'em!
