A mum has adopted a minimalist lifestyle and got rid of nearly 3,500 items from her home -including plates, her children's toys and sentimental decor from her wedding day. Casey Jones, 36, decided they didn't need everything they owned and wanted to reduce the amount of stuff in their home - attempting to cut their possessions by 50 per cent.
Casey and her husband, Jason, 36, a project manager, initially started selling their unwanted items to clear their debt - but continued to get rid of things or donate them to charity after realising they didn't need it all. The family now only keep the essentials. They only have four plates for their family of four and four coffee mugs.
In an effort to clear their clutter, Casey has so far ditched over 3,000 household items including blankets, cameras, and over 562 kitchen items. The mum-of-two says maintaining the house is now "a lot easier" with tidying up now taking her as little as five minutes - 55 minutes less than it used to.
