Does your furniture ever make you feel sad?

Last night, I gave away a beautiful child-sized art table that represented some of my favorite memories from when my oldest kids were little.

But my 5 year old doesn’t use it. 

And I finally realized that not only did the table not really fit in our house…it also just made me feel sad.

My little buddy has Down Syndrome and autism, and a lot of what we do together doesn’t look at all like I expected. This fits right in.

I cried buckets after the table was out of the house. And I also know it was exactly the right thing for us to do.

Have you ever decluttered something that was once beloved but now, for whatever reason, is no longer giving you those positive vibes?
