POLL: How often do you purge your closets?
Comments (167)Purge at the end of every Season. Plus I also adhere to the something new in something old out. I donate everything I purge to the Vietnam Vets or Veterans of Foreign Wars organizations. It killed me to donate all my SHOES - Once I retired and we moved to Florida I packed up the collection- 300 + pairs of shoes - 3-4 inch heels are not needed at this time of my life. (but i do miss looking at them all lined up in the closet!) I could not see packing them to move when I would probably never use them again and on the bright side it opened the door to buy NEW when I needed! Have now started a New fabulous Sandal collection! lol.....See MorePoll: How often do you use your formal dining space?
Comments (57)We eat in our formal dining room every evening unless we eat outdoors and Saturday and Sunday morning for brunch. I often eat lunch outdoors in the pergola, but right now I have some plants that I am repotting on the pergola table, and so I have to finish that before I can clear it off for dining again. We absolutely never eat in the kitchen - that is the worst place to eat, and I do not allow it. We have a peninsula, but there is a pot rack above that, and so it is not good for seating. Also, the less time spent in the kitchen the better. I do not consider the kitchen an entertaining space - it is a work space. The picnic table in the pergola counts as our informal dining space, and unless it is raining (which is extremely rare), then the weather is perfectly fine for eating outdoors, as our daytime temperatures range from upper 60s in the winter to upper 70s in the summer, with again rare exceptions. Lately we have had a few days in the 80s, and so we did not eat outdoors. Our winter temperature are also usually in the 70s. I have a collection of four trays for taking food from the kitchen to the pergola, but we also cook outdoors often. When I visited friends in Mexico City, every meal was in the formal dining room, with linen tablecloths, crystal, and silver and was served by servants. I was not allowed in the kitchen, as that was the domain of the cook. If I wanted anything at all, I had to ask the servants for it, and they would bring it me on a silver platter....See MorePOLL: How often do you make your bed?
Comments (21)Mama had us start making our own beds when we began Kindergarten. The habit stuck with 3 of the 4 of us lol. When I was in college, my roommates couldn't believe that I made up my bed everyday! It's a habit that began when I was 5, and old habits die hard!!!...See MorePOLL: How often do you cook at home?
Comments (259)I cook almost daily. When you share your food and time in the kitchen it is a genuine show of love. Having a full pantry, and Freezer is the greatest feeling. One of my favorite one dish meals is: Pistachio encrusted sea bass, pan fried, over oven Asiago Risotto. Light green salad frisée, mini tomatoes and I light vinegorette on top. Delicious and easy. We have amazing restaurants in Napa Valley. When I worked full time we ate out a lot. Now really for special occasions, except lunch with girlfriends. Love love love left overs....See MoreJudy Wright
