As you know, our biggest current goal is to build and live in a tiny house. Although the timeline for that extends two to three years, the transition starts now. We’re minimizing everything.
We’ve held two garage sales, I cleaned out the linen closet and threw a huge garbage bag of “just in case” blankets and sheets we’ll never use (too worn and stained for donation). I’ve gone through everyone’s clothes numerous times. The barn is filled with stuff for another garage sale in the spring. And I pulled out a huge tote of excess dishes from the kitchen. That was about a year ago.
I’m ready to do it again.
Goal # is for all of the dishes we own to fit into the dishwasher.
If we have more dishes than we can use we have too many. I’m still deciding if we want two or four extra place settings for when Grandparents are here. ! Ha! We’ll see what fits in the dishwasher! 🙂
Of course, there I’ll leave out a couple favorite mixing bowls, a few things that are not often used but still necessity. There will be no “just in case” items. I will not be hosting a dinner party. If the kids have a birthday party, we’ll make an exception and get fun paper plates!
Having minimal “stuff” in the kitchen will make everything function and flow much easier and preps us for a tiny kitchen.
Ryan is all for it! He brought up a big tote and I found another one. The goal is to fill both.
edit:
Mission Accomplished.
Well, the part about packing two big totes full of dishes! I still need to be sure the all fit in the dishwasher at once!
