I have lots of ornaments, one of my daughters calls them clutter, but seeing as they`re in my display unit, I don`t agree with her, so they`re all staying.

Don't encourage me, please! I may get rid of a couple of dangly things..

All sounds lovely, lovely Miss A?

And in the dining part of my sitting room:
Another 4 lamps which use candles... blush

We have hundreds of books. I cannot throw a book away. We also seem to have acquired our DS’s clutter, outgrown DGD’s toys etc as they are between houses at the moment. I move it around a bit but it never looks tidy. At least our sitting room and kitchen are free from clutter.

I just have stuff, books everywhere, family photos, pretty bits and bobs, stones and pebbles and coloured glass bottles, yes candles feature largely, and rather a lot of fairy lights, I love it all, clutter to others but treasures to me?

I’m with William Morris. Pity about DH he’s neither!

I think it was William Morris who said we should only surround ourselves with things that are beautiful or functional.
Did he never have C or Gc who gave him "tat" and homemade things he could never get rid of?
I certainly do, I have souvenirs from holidays, items made ar school etc, that are proudly on display, I could never get rid of them,
That is why my house is full of clutter.

That's it. Neat clutter.
I've been neatening mine up a bit, but its ridiculous when I look at it objectively.

I like to think it’s ‘neat’ clutter?

There are a lot of threads about the build up of clutter which needs to be sorted out and found a home, but what about the kind that you actively like?

Is your home full of candles, lamps, ornaments, and other things?

I've just been looking around, and mine is (too) full of bits and bobs.
