I'm near the end of a major decluttering phase, which has opened up a lot of room in my small apartment, and shows off my rather spartan walls.

Also, I made a list. That seems to be the primary precursor to buying lots of things: making a list, ranking and comparing items. It happened with a few of my previous projects, and I'm already halfway through the new list, though I managed to keep myself to the cheap and small stuff so far.
