Thanks for the extremely helpful post. This is right about where I stand now. All the “doesn’t belong in this room” stuff is gone. Now it’s time to empty the rest of the room out so I can sort and purge. And maybe with the room emptied, I’ll actually make time to paint it (there won’t be a better time to tackle that particular project, after all). Anyway, thanks for your continuing encouragement!
