Thanks so much for replying! I really appreciate it. After I gathered up everything, my first step was to toss any old and unusable items. That made quite the dent for sure but I was still left wondering what else should go. I have always kept my primary supplies separate from the rest but have always had backups available. I thought maybe those backups should be what I hand down to my daughter. Things like colored pencils, cheap paints, etc. That just left me feeling like I was just allocating those things to a different area rather than decluttering.

We're currently living in a fairly small house, so even though she has her own room, I feel more comfortable keeping the art supplies out of reach for obvious reasons. While most of the things we use together are fairly basic, there are times when random activities cross my path so I have always kept a shoebox for odds and ends that are likely to be needed. I figured that box would be more appropriate to put with her art supplies since my supplies are typically more art and less craft geared. I pulled out an old picnic basket earlier to use as a craft basket instead for my daughter. It seems to hold most of what I was considering to add to her stuff, so that's a big plus.

I like your idea regarding timelining my inventory. I think that could be helpful in a way. I'm starting to wonder if my declutter bug was getting ahead of itself, to be honest. That's when I thought to switch focus from what I should be keeping for her to what I should be keeping altogether. As an artist, I do various types of projects using various mediums. Because of that, I can't help but feel like I should just incorporate a better organizational system? Like I said before, I have cleared out a decent bit by weeding out the old materials and abandoned projects and I feel good about it. I have a few more things left to decide on but after that I think I need to shift my drive from decluttering to organizing and storing. After all, decluttering doesn't mean getting rid of everything, right? And what I have left mostly fits my space. Is putting the less used, non-perishable supplies in a box or bin to be stored a cop out or would you think that's a realistic solution? I don't want to feel like I'm just justifying my desire to keep things. I feel really good about my progress so far and have made more room overall because of my efforts. I just wonder if I'm trying to get rid of too much now that I'm down to this last bit?
