Declutter challenge - 90 days - clean up in 2016

[Anatidae V]

I'm working through the laptops, computers and mobile phones right now. My desktop is getting repaired, so by the time it's back in a fortnight I want to be ready to ditch all these unused ones. I want to get rid of:
- 2 laptops
- 1 slow desktop
- 4 mobile phones, all mine. 2 brick, 2 touchscreen.

That should leave us with a mobile each, a desktop computer and a tablet. DH intends to purchase a new laptop as the desktop is 5 years+, and we need something we can use if, like now, it ends up in the shop, as we both work from home on occasion.

My laptop is nearly empty, just need to discuss with DH where to move a few items to. So close! It's not as bad to use as I thought, now that I've got Dropbox selective syncing just a few small folders. Once DH has approved which programs to remove from it as well, I may end up keeping it for use around the house when I don't want to be at my computer (the battery is useless in it, should probably remove it).

We purchased a set of matching bookshelves, so that we can get rid of the furniture that doesn't quite work. I'm really excited and everything that goes on them needs to be thoroughly approved first - they're also going to be our new linen cupboard, as the current linen drawers in our bedroom are about to be devoted to nappies.

1. Reorganize room usage (based on advice on another forum section). This will get our office space and the kids toys consolidated. Done!
1b. Use newly created space to get my sewing machine back out of the closet so I can use it. Done.
2. Cull outgrown kid stuff. Done.
3. Organize and pare down duplicate tools. Extras will be donated.
4. Main basement area clean out/organization. We aren't finishing it but want it to be usable space. Currently a trash heap. Over half done. Already a huge improvement!
5. Cull wardrobe to eliminate unloved/never worn pieces. Done.
6. Finish ceilings (sand/prime/paint). 1/4 done
7. Paint inside of bathroom cabinets.

After nearly a year of sporadic, intense decluttering, I'm starting to feel like we're getting to a much better state. The house seems easier to clean, bigger, and more usable.
