![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just that much stuff and that much square footage a whole lotta floor to clean, from carpets, to tile, to wood flooring, etc. And she had to have not one but TWO people come in to clean the house each week. A beautiful desk.) I said to her at the beginning, 'It's just you and your husband (age 50s) you have enough storage and space forever.' She said, 'Yeah, and watch how fast we fill it up.' True within 5 years, you'd open a closet and a tennis racket would fall on your head. (And she also outfitted one entire large room off a patio - sigh so nice, had a fireplace, too like a den room - with more floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, with a rolling library ladder hundreds & hundreds of books. When she first moved in (5 bed/4 bath home with gigantic 3-car garage), I was eye-popping with the amount of storage in every single room including, of course, walk-in closets galore. Sure makes things convenient when you can be so organized and have a place for everything lots & lots of room/space. All the cubbies for ribbon/tape and then, of course, her sewing stuff, with a special built-in cabinet for her sewing machine then, all of this framed by massive floor-to-ceiling cabinets with multiple shelves a big work table in there, too. Built-ins with a cabinet maker to her specifications/custom modifications and enhancements, where each roll of wrap was on a spindle or rod you'd pull down how much paper and cut, as if it was a roll of paper towels. Me, too, about wrapping stations et al to each his own, of course but, man, I knew someone who bought a McMansion in the early 90s and she had one entire room outfitted for sewing and wrapping. Just took a baby gift to a neighbor with a blue bag from the dollar store (very cute scenes of little blue elephants on it), just slipped the gifts in some tissue with a card.and, done. I used to be a big wrapper no more I've become a bag lady. ![]()
