If I've Got Rid of So Much, How Come There's Still a Mess?

Here are some photos of smaller items that were sold on Saturday. My sister is visiting us and her friend took away two tables and I gave her an old chair that needs to have a proper seat put on it.

I've also put together a pile of art supplies that I'm not taking with us. A lady is coming to check them out later this week so I moved them all to the front vestibule to make it easier for her to see everything.

It's the clutter of stuff awaiting disposal that makes the house look so messy.
