You could keep it in the laundry room also if no closet room. So as my kids outgrow stuff it goes directly in to the bin after its washed as well as it can be. I love it! It works well for me because especially with babies it seems like something is constantly too small or ruined from some marker/bleach incident:) Plus, there are things that I have been given that I keep initially and then as season progesses I realize I really don't love this and we aren't using it so in the bin it can go. Sounds like your system works well too and I love the indian summer idea. I have been hesitating on cleaning out fall/winter stuff that I know will be too small next yr. because the weather keeps changing drastically. So great tip on that!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527745668531733041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801338783140688273.post-33632825884280182662009-04-27T13:44:00.000-04:002009-04-27T13:44:00.000-04:00Girl - we are ALOT alike!

I do have a storage closet though where you can see all my bins lined up... Honestly, I don't know how people live "unorganized". I would go insane. There are a few things I let go (I have a lid drawer in the kitchen & a large spoon & spatula drawer - not much order in either of those) but for the most part I know where everything is. Just don't ask me if ALL of my laundry is folded & put away... Arrrrggg! I hate laundry... But what are you gonna do????

Everything we own (...We are pretty minimalist here. Everything we own (summer, winter) all fits in their rooms including winter coats and such. I shop as the need arrives. If one of them grows and needs a coat that is what I go on the search for etc. When I go to the goodwill I only look for what we need not what I anticipate what we need. I totally save money only looking for something specific and then don't have to worry about storage. Same goes for my entire house. It's pretty clutter free and we only have one linen closet for storage. No attic storage or anything else.<br />We live in a small house. How fun that you live in a house with such great history. That would be really neat. :)Lakeville Verticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449330890656567014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801338783140688273.post-6423208790804432152009-04-27T08:10:00.000-04:002009-04-27T08:10:00.000-04:00I'm still not done with Ozzie clothes... done with...I'm still not done with Ozzie clothes... done with the other boys but not Ozzie.
