Only dual use furniture for me


It has been an adjustment. More of one for Greg than me. I do not find myself missing anything. However, I noticed a pile starting to accumulate next to the dresser. I went through the pile and was able to rid myself of more things I just do not use. For example, one of the items was a bulky neck pillow I purchased at an airport. I have forgotten to take it on every trip I have taken since. I felt guilty getting rid of it because I only used it once and have justified keeping it because I will use it again. I hope this will remind me to quit buying that kind of crap on a whim.
Since spring, there are several blankets and heavy spreads that are too heavy. I stored them in the cabinet above the refrigerator. I have always had a cabinet above the frig in every house in which I have lived. This is the first time I have actually put something in it. This spot is so hard to reach it is perfect for seasonal items. I purchased a storage ottoman from target (only $80)for the rest of my sheets and linens. All of the sheets/pillow cases and duvets that I am currently using completely fit on my bed and in this ottoman. I love it. This was the same amount of bedding I was rotating in the large space; I just had many many other mismatched old, and unused sets. This piece also doubles as an extra seat and the new place I put my purse.
