"cleaning"

So, today I tried to straighten up downstairs. We have lots of beautiful pieces for display and just don't have room to display them all at once. However, since I have been occupied with other things than decorating, I had just stacked and jammed things on any available shelf space.

Today I worked on that.

I have rather minimalist tendencies. I like things comfortable and inviting, but with next to no clutter or clutter-ish type stuff laying around. Well, unfortunately, rather than make good decisions, I find myself using my 3-D aptitude to pack way too much stuff into closets and cabinets. This works fine if you can leave it there. But we're probably moving sometime, and it is not going to be fun when all that stuff comes out for me to pack into a box. AND I don't want my nice display pieces to get so buried that I never use/rotate them.

I should learn how to organize my storage.

You married into a family full of minimalist & OCD organizers, may I offer some help the next time I come up.

I think your ability to pack small spaces so efficiently is one of your superpowers!

I tried (TRIED) to get you to OCD my house when you were here, Jack, but you kept apologizing for every little helpful thing you did! What am I supposed to do?

PLEASE COME OCD MY HOUSE!

You secretly desire to be a cluttered messy, just like your cousin Daniel and your Aunt Melinda. Little piles of interesting things, materials, and books allallall over the house!
