A mum has adopted a minimalist lifestyle and got rid of nearly 3,500 items from her home -including plates, her children's toys and sentimental decor from her wedding day.

Casey Jones, 36, decided they didn't need everything they owned and wanted to reduce the amount of stuff in their home - attempting to cut their possessions by 50 percent.

Casey and her husband, Jason, 36, a project manager, initially started selling their unwanted items to clear their debt - but continued to get rid of things or donate them to charity after realising they didn't need it all.
