Laura over at The Infusion posted a blog entry about cleaning out her closet, citing Yours Truly as an inspiration (awwww!).
For some reason, I became strangely fascinated by the photo of the closet (she sez it ain’t hers) on her blog. Aren’t closets interesting? Like, do you ever look through In Style magazine at the beauty salon and just laugh your head off at the photo spreads they do of celebrities in their closets that are the size of your kitchen and dining room put together? As much as I think that sort of thing is the epitome of Roman Empire-style excess, I am totally fascinated by it.
When I get a moment I’m going to snap some photos of my closet. I have learned through the years that it’s neat to have photos of unimportant parts of one’s home to track the evolution of one’s life and history of dwelling places (and when you’ve moved as often as I have, it helps create a narrative that makes sense when memory fails). But I’ve never yet photographed any of my closets.
Send me a photo of your closet! We’ll share them on here! To get a link to my e-mail address, click the “Need PeaceBang’s Help?” box at the top of the page.
This was inspiring. With my daughter’s help, I pulled two huge trash-bags of clothes out of two closets for the local clothing bank. And threw some stuff away, too.
Thanks! I feel better already.
We live in a tiny old farm house. And when I say old , I mean it – my kitchen is the farm’s original log cabin and the “new” addition was added in te 1870s. Old houses don’t have closets. My kids all have wardrobes. My hubby and I just keeps stuff everywhere. It stinks, but its home (sorry) there will be no pictures. 😀
