This thread is so uplifting and positive ![Two hearts :two_hearts: 💕](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f495.png)
I'm working my way towards manifesting a calmer working space.
I'm very fortunate to have my own dedicated home office (which is an old spare bedroom) but it's absolutely laden with old files (which we have to keep for seven years), sewing materials, household stuff like batteries and lightbulbs, and a raft of other bits and pieces. Everything is neatly organised, in plastic crates and labelled accordingly, but they're all stacked upon each other which makes the space feel very heavy. I have several little trolleys with drawers in them, containing stationery and what-not; and three desks ... I really only need one, which is a corner workstation. The wardrobe cavity doesn't have doors and it looks really untidy.
Yesterday, I took the time to photograph all and list for sale all of the things I don't need, for sale - intending use the proceeds to buy an extra tall and wide dresser (which will sit in the wardrobe cavity) that I will store everything in. I even found the perfect dresser, the photo of which I pinned to the wall above my computer, and it just happens to be on sale until close of business tomorrow.
Lo and behold, within minutes of my listing all the things I don't need, some guy hit 'buy now' on everything, which means it all sold for prices over my reserve! Not only that, but he asked if he could come and collect everything today, as he's in my area over this long weekend. So, he's coming at 2pm.
I did not imagine that I would sell everything so quickly! I didn't even ask the universe to make it happen ASAP. I did think it would be nice if I could afford to get the dresser for the sale price, but then put it out of my mind.
The store that has the dresser is going to hold it for me until 5pm today - so fingers crossed this guy will come as he said. Meanwhile, the space has all been cleared out - with the items put on our carpad for him to collect - and it already feels much better ... it doesn't feel so heavy. As well as the two desks and mobile trolleys (with stationery intact), I also took the opportunity to get rid of some other office bits and pieces (monitor stands, spare keyboards, extension leads ... just stuff that is useful, yes, but takes up a lot of space and I really don't need it).
The room is already nicely decorated (I painted it and changed the carpet not that long ago), but I might use the extra money I got from my sales to get a couple of recycled timber pieces which I'll make into wall shelves, plus I might splash out on some gorgeous Orla Kiely fabric and reupholster a chair to pop in the corner of the room.
Last port of call will be to smudge everything with Palo Santo, then it's ready to go!
