1000 Item Challenge Day 72

Phew...getting so close! This has been a tough challenge and I admit that while I've enjoyed it, I'll also be happy to be done, LOL. The first half went really easily, especially considering how much I had already decluttered prior to starting it, but since hitting 500, boy the struggle is real! However, it's the last day of August and I pushed HARD HARD HARD. Found so many items, in fact, I had to break it into separate photos.

On a positive follow-up, while I still have the little TV and the grill, the broken file cabinet has been broken into tiny pieces and put in the trash and a friend's son snatched up the sofa that very night! (This is especially exciting because I now have all kinds of room to expand the Pain Cave - just in time for indoor winter training!)
