18/ 1986 Dreams for Myself, Part XIII


I wanted more storage room in the house. The people who built my old farmhouse over 150 years ago had farming clothes and church clothes, and that was about it. My bedroom doesn’t have a closet, and there are no closets downstairs. The only built-ins are living-room bookcases the previous owners added in the 1970s. Nothing has changed since 1986.

    Sounds like Vermont houses!

    The farmhouse I grew up in was the same. Actually, when I think about it, we had farm clothes, and town clothes and school uniforms, and that was it!

    Sometimes I think that no matter how much storage I have it will never be enough.

    Our first house had two big closets in the bedroom - his and hers. I miss those closets.
