When decluttering and creating a simple home there is a very important distinction between could and would.
Last Xmas, our cousin gave us a new cutting board that has 7 mats that you can stash inside a bamboo holder. (affiliate link)
At first I wondered if we would use it, but I decided to try it and I love it. If we end up having a party and several people are working in the kitchen, there are enough mats to go around. Yet they take up less space.
So I decided to get rid of an old extra cutting board. It was nice, but just something I had picked up at TJ Maxx years ago. As I take the old cutting board to the donate pile, I think to myself
"I bet I could repurpose this for something."
I was even thinking of looking on Pinterest to find ideas.
And then I said to myself,
I knew the answer was most likely no.
Of course there are tons of things we could do with our old possessions. But instead of asking yourself could I reuse this, first ask yourself would you.
The old cutting board has long since been donated and the new cutting boards are now sitting neatly on my counter.

you could but would you?
