I've heard these phrases on HGTV. Never seriously thought I'd find myself actually "doing" it.
Lord have Mercy is all I can say.

Aw, who TP knows? Mr. DD says we are. I'm thinking he might sell it out from under us while we're out of town.

de personalizing? Why, that just sounds cold to me.
I like 'purging stuff I never use any more.'

wouldn't "de-perosnalizing" mean getting rid of people you don't use any more?

Oh honey, I'm not purging it. Just putting it away for a while. I'll purge when I un-pack it.

I have a book from the library in my bookbag about that very subject! There were about two long shelves full of books on the exact same thing, too, so it's obviously everyone's Achilles' Heel. Or maybe Achilles' Hell.
It would take me forever to de-personalize and de-clutter. I'd have to put in an very emphatic SOS to Lisa LaPorta and maybe she'd take pity on me and make an example of my house on national TV for all to see. Yikes! Anyway, DD, HGTV wants to see how you get on. You can send them "befores" and "afters."

Yeah. I figure I can make at least a couple of dollars.

How about applying for Deserving Design with Vern Yip? That would take care of one room (but you know he always does a second room as a "surprise"). Moderating and 20,000+ posts is pretty impressive!

LOL! Somehow, I don't think moderating and yakking would get me qualified over someone who just adopted 14 kids, 42 dogs and delivers Meals on Wheels while cooking for the homeless. LOL.
I'm lost officially now.
Heads up!!

I don't think I'm Vern's type.

de-personalizing...sounds awfu, but it will sell a house. So, DD my sweet, , if you don't want to sell your house...;-) Personalize to the hilt so mr DD CAN'T sell while you are away...
De-cluttering, well, we can all use a little of that

I think you have to depersonalize something before you can get rid of it. If I say purging, makes me think of up-chucking.
