I recently read a blog where the minimalist author told about making the choice to not buy a couch for their small apartment. "But everyone has a couch!" she argued with herself. They bought two arm chairs which fit much better and figured they could pull in kitchen chairs if company came.
It's a mindset we all have. Our homes should have certain things. Case in point, I have had a dish drainer under my kitchen sink for 19 years. I never use it, but it's important to have a dish drainer, isn't it? My husband helps me out by putting dishes in the dishwasher after meals. Any pots or pans that won't fit, I wash quickly by hand and let dry on a towel on the kitchen counter. I've maybe used that drainer three times since we've lived in this house. Today it is going into my donate bin.
Why have things taking up space that don't have a purpose?
