Another area in our house where the method of folding is purposeful (so that the items fit better) is the bureau in our master bedroom. As seen in and earlier blog (Day 11 from 2/13/14), all of my clothes are on shelves and in bins in the master closet. So, the full contents of these drawers are my husbands. It could be that his clothing is bigger in nature or that he has a collection of TShirts that can't be parted with...but that's a whole other blog.Thankfully, most of his clothing was in fair order as I keep it pretty tidy along the way (when clean stuff is put away). But, it does get a little disheveled here and there and could use a bit of straightening.
I started by removing the items and taking a look at what he has. There were a few pieces of clothing that had holes in them so they were thrown away. I however, used great restraint in not donating any of the shirts, which occupy 2 of the six drawers...but I digress. You may want to go through and determine if anything should be put in the second-hand pile. I've been setting aside all those items and am going to schedule a pick-up in the near future.
TShirts are folded the same way as our school-agers (shown in Day12 from 2/14/14), shorts in half with the rear-end out and then half again (with the crotch tucked in), while his undershirts get folded like a bath towel (Day 3 from 2/3/14) and his drawer-drawers in thirds while holding the waistband and then down in half from top to bottom while tucking in the crotch (they are boxers).Needless to say, I also took it upon myself to clear the top of the furniture because there were items from our weekend project or installing an new vanity top and removing wallpaper from the master bathroom. Yes, we are busy people! Who'd have it any other way???
