You have been busy! Keep up the momentum once you've had a rest. It sounds like your flat would be an even more beautiful home with a little less clutter. I always blame the fact I have clutter on not having a garage/cellar etc, and I live alone in a 3 bedroom house. It must be a challenge in a studio flat.
It's...not as bad as you'd think, but it's my own fault for letting it get to this state. When the lockdown hit I had this paranoia of...not being outside, but being seen by people. I wouldn't leave for days at a time, and that tends to cause a problem where throwing things out is concerned. That also led to a lot of deliveries being required, I still needed to eat, and it piled up. And piled up. And so on and so forth.
I had also bought some new furniture just before the lockdown hit. It's from Ikea, and I deliberately bought the bed I did to get the two drawers of storage space, but then because it was flatpack I needed the room to assemble it and my landlord took too long to get my old sofa moved out so I basically spent 6 months living with 2 sofas - one covered in boxes and other stuff I couldn't move anywhere, and one wrapped up and tilted on its side in my hall so you could at least squeeze past it. My coffee table turned into a bedside cabinet at the same time lol.
We also had no washing machine for 6 months and I ended up having to repeatedly buy clothes just to have something to wear. Realised last night I had a
lot of clothes. And because it's all basically new stuff it's still stuff I'd wear so I can't bring myself to chuck it either.
I still need some form of adhesive coat hooks so I can hang up coats and maybe some hoodies, but my shoes are now on a shoe rack, the underbed drawers are full, the bedside cabinet and the chest of drawers are finished. Aside from the shelving unit (which will be freestanding) most of the heavy lifting is done. Now it's just finding out what's left in boxes I was using as storage, chucking out the remaining junk, throwing out any old clothing I definitely don't want again, chucking any excess cardboard into the cupboard...
I should never have let it get to this state but damn if I don't look at it now and a part of my brain keeps telling me "it still looks like a bomb hit it".
