Thanks for hosting, Marty!!
Your house is such an inspiration! I am trying to organize and downsize my apartment in preparation for moving to an independent facility in the fall. As you know this is not an easy undertaking, and it takes time. I appreciate your insight on the difficulty of downsizing, you have given me hope it can be done! One of the things I am doing in preparation for a smaller home is sorting clothes. As I hang them back, I am turning the hangers the “wrong” way with the ends of the hooks facing out. As I wear my clothes and hang them back, I place the hangers the “right” way. From time to time, I need to check the condition of the closet I can tell at a glance what I have worn. The other clothes need to be considered.
Thanks for hosting, Marty. Have a great day!
Great tip on reversing the hangers to see what you are really wearing. Thanks, Marty
Hope you enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend. Thank you so much for hosting and allowing us to share and participate.
