[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 175841, member: 1296"]when great treasures keep coming along but your space is limited? Do you just sell your older things as you go along or pile up junk until people call you a hoarder? When really nice things come along, do you feel like [I]some[/I] of your previous buys start to lose their shine compared to the "new" and exiting thing? Is it possible to avoid the temptation of that delicious table, especially when it means you'll have to get rid of the other one you just bought 6 months ago? What do you do with all the impulse buys that felt warm and nice to get at the time, but afterwards you realized you have no space for them, or that they might not be just the perfect thing for you right now? [I]Sometimes[/I] it's just nice to buy something. (I have problem, don't I?) How do you avoid the downward spiral of just always replacing your things with something "better" instead of living with them? See, that's what happens when you are a hoarder but also tidiness-obsessed at the same time. Once (if) I've managed to get a few furniture essentials, I'll have a no-buy month. Or two or three.[/QUOTE]
