What is the most pointless, useless object you have in your home, and why is it still there?

extraneous: non-essential, non-vital, not relevant


When I left the States, I sold or gave away everthing I owned except what I could put in a few large duffel bags. I've moved every year or two since then, so haven't accumulated much. But most of us, and me too before I became a gypsy, have a lot of usesless stuff we hang on to year after year after year and for some reason never get rid of. What is it for you?

I would think the pebbles I gather on beaches and keep in collections around my house often forgetting even where or when I collected them.

Hmm I can't think of anything at the moment.. Since I have been overhauling my house.. MOST useless stuff is gone.

Though I do keep meaning to ditch that stupid Galileo water thermometer thing... that's pants!

WTF?

hahah

If they are beautiful and they add to the ambience of your home, then they are not extraneous, in my opinion.

Having been wiped out by Katrina, I got to live one of my personal jokes.
I always laughed & said "I want to live as a minimalist".

Well, I sort of am now.
I have only three real pieces of furniture, my metal meat rack(which doubles as my bed), my favorite chair(now the cat's bed-lol!), and my handmade birch desk(the center of my world).
Aside from them, I have a handful of artwork, a butt load of plants & a few trinkets given to me to cheer me up after everything happened.

At this point, almost all of them are pointless...
but I like a few of them.

Actually it LOOKS kind a cool....in my opinion...beautiful objects are neve extraneous....must be surrounding by interesting looking or beautiful objects!!

I have to take a leaf out of your book....I am a terrible hoarder.....I must declutter my clutter

okay....can't type

beautiful objects are never extraneous; one must be surrounded by interesting looking or beautiful ojbects!!

fixed it

I think they are kinda cool, want to swop for my pebble collection? on the other hand could just send you a photo and you won't have to dust as much...

come on...what your most useless piece of clutter...the thing that should go first?

hahaha

An old magazine rack I bought in the 70s
but I do still use it!!!

I live in a house stuffed with Art...............I think pebbles are non essential!

ME

why do you keep them?

I have no idea how the puke icon got in there, have never used it and never would!!! sorry.

hahahah!! I was just testing out how quickly that thermometer would chance temperature.. and make the glass bubbles move inside.

So I have been sat here holding it between my thighs.. and it changed pretty dam fast..

Tisk!.. silly..
