For the last several weeks, off and on, I've been cleaning out and once again downsizing and getting rid of things I don't use or wear. Gary and I recently cleaned out our closet and chest of drawers and we now actually have two empty drawers and a lot more room in our closet. Let me tell you, it feels great! Someone will be getting a lot of good out of some nice clothes. As I was digging through our closet, I found 2 dress coats that are like new that I haven't worn in years.
I tackled the ice box yesterday. It has needed a good cleaning for some time. You know, a cleaning where you take all the shelves out and wash them. It's sparkling clean now. I wanted to show you the Rubbermaid lazy susan. I saw this idea on a cooking show. I love it! You can just turn the lazy susan and get to all of the containers a lot easier. We usually have to take out all the containers to get to something in the back. Now, it's a lot easier.
When I started down sizing several years ago, I probably had 15 t-shirts that I used to garden in. The funny thing is, I always went to the same three t-shirts to wear and the rest just sat in the drawer. When I realized what I was doing I emptied the drawer except for the three I always picked. That felt good and that is what got me started. I went to the kitchen and got rid of everything I hadn't used in 5 years and it was out. The thing that holds me back, is the thought, what if I need that sometime. Well, I got rid of it anyway and I have never missed it. It freed up a lot of space in my kitchen which I really needed.
Maybe I have inspired you, I hope so.
Have a great weekend~
