I don't live in a big house. I take advantage of all the storage and it is packed to the gills. My daughter came home from college a month ago... she has a big pile of dorm stuff. It is a corner of the basement. My son gets home tomorrow from college...he was in an apartment this year. That will be another pile of stuff to find a spot for this summer.
I actually had to get a big pile of stuff out of his room. That pile was garage sale stuff that migrated to the living room. I am getting ready to do our big neighborhood garage sale in a week. That pile has now been priced and prepped.
As you can see, despite the piles I still got the 4th of July decorations out. (another post on those when my living room is pile free).
It is driving me bananas. One week and the living room pile will be gone. (Eastmoreland garage sale is the 22nd, 8-5 if you live in town. Over 100 houses will be participating) I can live with the other two piles for the summer since the trade-off is having my kids home. Love those kids and the piles they bring with them..excited to have them home for a few months!
