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. laugh

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!

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

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.
