We spent the entire day decluttering—mainly tackling two balconies and tossing out loads of unused items. Rearranging furniture and switching to fresh IKEA curtains completely transformed the space, making it feel lighter and calmer.

I sold 55 books online for ¥168 after shipping costs and gave the rest to our building’s cleaner. We cleared nearly 100 books in total. It was exhausting but deeply satisfying—more joyful than a day out.

We replaced the old, heavy, dull-gold ones with a new set: soft white sheers inside and a light turquoise outer layer. Once we hung them, the whole room felt brighter and more refreshing—we immediately wished we had done it sooner.
