Decluttering and Stress

I have so much sewing I want to do and I really want to practice using my sewing machine, but I don't have a comfortable place to use it. Tonight I've been trying to declutter the room designated as our office but all of my husband's computer stuff is in there and I don't know what he wants to keep and what is fair game to toss. Tonight is his night off so I call him in to help me, he picks up 4 items, throws them away, looks at a couple of boxes, asks me if they are trash or not and when I tell him they are full of his stuff and he needs to decide, he puts them down and goes back to the bedroom to play Spore which he bought tonight. I'll wait a few more hours or maybe until tomorrow night and if he doesn't help me by Thursday night when he goes back to work then everything is fair game. I'm so tired of having so much stuff and no organization to it. I don't even want to post photos of how bad that room looks.

Once we get everything cleaned out then I have dreams of painting it chocolate and lavender until I change my mind next week...

I'm curious...has the office ever been decluttered? I'm a clutter bug so I know how this feels. Boo :(

Eh, yes and no. Most of the stuff is out of there, but there is still remnants of other stuff that needs to be sorted. We kinda put it on hold b/c Tony is never in the mood to deal with it and it's mostly his stuff. He asked me to box it all up for him which I don't want to do, it means clutter will continue to get shuffled. Oh, well. Maybe I can ask him to do it as a Christmas gift. Tonight I asked him to let me get a massage. hehe.
