Shocking to me that I began the process of "minimalizing" my kitchen almost two months ago and that the room where I store my kitchen items is still a very unattractive clutter site.  While there are gaps, piles of useless articles remain to be sorted through.

I think that I have hit a plateau.

My husband has made something like 15 trips to my local favourite thrift shop with loads of stuff that is not too scuffed or unsaleable. 

I have found that my family does not want any of my stuff. (My granddaughters looked blankly at me when I offered a tour of the china that has come down through the generations in our family and could someday be theirs).  My friends have politely not responded, meaning they decline the general offer.  And even the thrift shop has turned away a few items.
