Survey #236 Full Response from Celina

← Go back

Describe a collection or category of items in your home that you’re worried might have crossed over into “too many” or “too much.”Acrylic paints. I have two tiny sets I've merely begun using, and one huge I bought (because it was on the discount). Recently I bought another medium-sized (yes, another discount). Also, a bead-collection. Gayle could say 'one can never have too many beads', but it's a different matter entirely when I haven't used them in a year now, because no time for crafting and I use them occasionally to embroider dolls clothes.
For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive?The speed of buying vs. using them up don't mathematically match...
For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer.For beads - one box with tiny compartments should be my limit. Instead, I have several other small extra boxes. It's a little insane. As for acrylics - one, or max two sets, because - yes - they do expire.
Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive.n/a
