When determined to calm the clutter, have you ever saved items and said, "But it will come in handy someday?" You may have proclaimed, "It might be useful in the future!"
So the best of intentions to purge turns into a exercise in future-purpose.
The cardboard box could become a great container for magazines. The rusty baking pan might hold something in the garage.
The broken umbrella could become a high fashion gown, or even a piece of elegant jewelry. Huh? Take a look at such an elegant gown in Discover magazine! The abandoned umbrella has found new life as design components and accessories for a high fashion look.
So, indeed, it is possible to recycle old stuff into valuable and interesting new pieces. We must ask whether we are willing to dedicate the space and time resources to maintaining the old umbrellas of the world before they take on a future-purpose.
We would like to hear about your experiences in giving old things new life!
