| Which of the following statements best describes your living situation? | I live in a spacious home with a few areas in which space for living or storage is limited and causes issues. |
| Describe rooms or areas of your home in which the lack of available space makes living, storage, decluttering, and/or organizing challenging. Be as specific as you can. | I don't have a pantry in my kitchen. We store food in whatever cabinet space we can fit it. This means that some sections of the cabinets in the kitchen have food, then some food we don't use as much is in upper cabinets which means I have to get a ladder to go get it any time I need or want it. We also don't have a closet in either of our bathrooms. We don't have a linen closet either. We don't have much of a closet for coats or shoes so we have a freestanding shoe cabinet in our dining room. For our bathroom we put a small shelf unit to put towels on, then use the small drawers in the sink unit to store our bathroom items. The trickest thing is where to put our blankets and bedding — we have some bedding in trash bags in a tiny closet in my office (the entrance to the closet opening is 13" to 14" which I can't fit through and my husband can barely fit through and it's also in a triangle shape since it's under the roof so you have to crouch. We also have some bedding in plastic bins inside our main bedroom. We have a very narrow 13" to 14" closet that is about 4 feet deep and 18" wide inside near our front door. We have a cart that we put cleaning products on inside this closet. I also can't fit in this closet when cleaning bottles fall off the cart into the closet. I don't understand all these tiny doors with larger inside closet spaces. We have a spacious house for what we have, but it seems when they designed the house nobody considered storage options that would be needed. I don't even know how they used the house when it was first built in the 1930s. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | As someone who also does arts/crafts/hobbies and has supplies, for unused or unwanted supplies, have you sold them on eBay or do you just donate them? I have about $300 worth of yarn that I know now isn't the kind of yarn I want to work with. It sheds like crazy. And it's acrylic so it's too hot for me to make comfortable blankets with. Anyways it's gotta go. Have you had experience selling unused yarn on eBay or other places? If so, what kind of pricing do you do? Can you do it by bundles or groups of similar yarn? For yarn I had used some of it already I was going to donate that since I didn't think people would want to buy used spools of yarn. |
