It started very quiet.
I can swear, I hear a whisper in the box where I never opened the package --
The people in the house I fled to on the way to end my marriage.
The children who grew up told me that they no longer needed a designated bedroom or their old yearbook.
Then, my post-university BFF manages advanced care in Florida, so has seen the future, and he tells me loudly: you need to move before you need to move. Got it.
This means layoffs.
I belong to the hipster generation and most of them choose to grow old properly in their original residence instead of moving to smaller places.
The layoffs needed for the move mean getting rid of decades of wealth.
The problem is that as you get older, you will be less likely to deal with the things that peel off all of these things.
In a study published in the Journal of Gerontology, after the age of 70, only about the sample of the survey did anything to give away, discard or donate something they no longer use.

It turns out that it\'s easy to separate from the end table.
Removed the existence of my kitchen, and my soul was cut.
It has spread to a sideboard, a Chinese cabinet, a shelf in the basement and several judgmental boxes.
It is clear that things are far from hoarding.
I prefer to treat my soup pot, small appliances, cans and complete dishes as decorations for a happy culinary life with the option of entertainment and occasional fruit dehydration.
You see, no matter who it belongs to, no matter what size it is, I feel really comfortable in the kitchen.
There are many things that can happen there.
Regardless of size, the people attending the party at the venue always gathered in the room with the fridge, which never surprised me.
I had the privilege of renovating, renovating and planning several of my own kitchens.
This process can be tried in the first world.
The violin way.
Your pre-meal preparation is limited and you can rinse dishes in the bathroom sink.
You will find that you should do different things before the paint is dry.
But I don\'t mind all this.

My friend Cathy Barrow and her husband Dennis are fulfilling the dream of layoffs.
Starting with more inventory than I did, she methodically reduced the number of kitchen items. By half.
She and her contractors, as well as Ikea, managed to create a fully functional but neat footprint based solely on what was saved.
She used to have a big kitchen with plenty of light. A real beaut.
But does Cathy really need them even though she has cute things?
The biography heir, avoided by young relatives, was sold.

As far as I know, these limited storage spaces are not in the way of her cooking efforts. Cathy recipe-

Is acquisition a thing of the past?
When something is added, something else may be needed.

My new kitchen in Washington. C.
Will not be customizedbuilt;
It is for rent, about 9 feet from the front counter edge to the back wall.
The cabinets are made of Ikea laminated materials and are properly distributed;
Obviously, Swedish chefs prefer narrow plates.
But this is the first room I stayed in.
A few months later, I was happy again in the kitchen.
I saved a set of wine glasses, a set --purpose shape.
Barks will forgive me.
Depending on the way I cook, I thin the pan bowl pans basin with no repetition in size.
There are two corner cabinets with turntable shelves.
One is all related baking ingredients and the other is the right size for a variety of vinegar and oil.
If I fill in too much, they won\'t close normally.
Spice Storage proved to be a bigger challenge, in part because of the lower internal configuration of the cable.
I want to minimize visual confusion, so the usual little bottle ledge won\'t do that.
It took two trips to the Container Store to find enough compartment trays;
They\'re in an office. supplies aisle.
Two of them are all spices that I often come into contact with, and they are arranged alphabetically for ease of search.
The \"junk drawer\" project has been subdivided and paid accordingly: what I use most often is on hand, and less
Used items are waiting in the drawer below.
Not one drawer in this kitchen is big enough to accommodate a full set of cutlery, so two of them finish the work side by side.
Cans and dry goods are tucked away a few feet away and placed on a built-in mesh drawer and open shelf while walking
In a public closet.
Content is organized by type and arranged by deployment frequency.
By the way, I put a plate or two on the shelf. I got lucky.
I always liked the pantry.

I limit the number of random boxes I allow myself to open.
The first is Julia Child and the early Nigella.
How sad I will be!
I donated the rest of the recipes to where I was going to use them.
I can say that after taking apart all the cartons I brought in, I will miss my mother\'s settlement recipes and the joy of cooking because they have her DNA.
When I get frustrated with this, I will comfort myself with her rotary mougrater, which happens to be the best egg salad.
