I recently read an article about a guy, I believe his name is Dave, and his blogsite is GuynamedDave.com, in which he will simplify his life by removing a number of items in his house which will then equal to about 100 items in total. I have decided to also take this challenge, but am on a smaller area scale and on a higher item budget.
I will decide to budget and simplify my room to about 250 items. Hopefully I am able to do less, but considering I am a designer, my books, clothes, and designs number out to about 1000 things. So I will list the following items I own and see if up until November I can lower the number to about 250 and hold that number for at least 1 year.
By the way there are a lot of items I know I do NOT NEED, but I can't get rid of for reasons of purchase. Such as a night stand that was bought for me as a whole set in my bedroom, and other reasons of want and love.

So basically I am no minimalist. I have too many things, and will probably have more things as life goes on. Maybe one day I'll have a 100 count item list, but I'm a designer and papers, writing utensils, influence, books, and magazines are going to take up a lot of space.
Due to certain circumstances I am unable to list all my items because I am unaware if I can count my:
"Art Supplies" which include-pens, markers, charcoal, rulers, T-Squares, Erasers, Pencils, Highlighters, Paintmarkers, Straight Edges, Clay, Staplers, Scissors, Airbrush, Led, Canvases, etc.
"Letter and Bills" which include-bills from seperate companies, lyrics, written letters, given birthday cards, etc.
"Drawings" which include-class sketches, fashion sketches, furniture designs, replication works, books designs, Logo designs, etc.
That's all I have for now.
