What's that expression about nature abhors a vacuum. Whatever it is, I think it's the same with our rooms. We fill them up. Whatever the size. Well, some of us do.
We will be downsizing in a few years and it's giving me pause now that it's becoming more real. (We bought a condo with not much spare room). I think it'll be just fine once I get into a new habit of not storing so much.
Meanwhile, I am going to use a bunch of stuff up starting with this summer. At least that's my plan, wish me luck!
