As a result of our recent china acquisition, new space had to be created in our cupboards to accommodate for the two boxes making a temporary home on my dining room floor. I never believe I have junk until I actually rummage through things, and I guess I have a lot of junk. Dingy glass vases, mismatched salt and pepper shakers, old and worn pots and pans. 13 years of kitchen pile up.
Pulling things out, separating and tossing things into the D.I. (2nd hand in Utah) boxes is the easy part. It is putting everything back in order. Junk or not, I had my kitchen organized to be User Friendly. Most used items at hands reach, least used stuffed into the corners. Now my kitchen Feng Shui has to be re-established, and all of the sudden everything is important and I may just use that Braun soup blender ( I forgot I had) very soon, so maybe it should be in this spot, NO, maybe it would be better over here, and on and on....
After a few cupboard changeovers, I finally started to feel the "Shui" once again and rewarded myself with Chili's takout.
My husband told me giving away my kitchen to the D.I. wasn't an excuse to go out and buy new things. He can have his opinions, its a free country. Besides, he won't see the credit card bill until next month.
