How long have you lived here?

 I know, I know, I haven't blogged in ages, and I'm pretty sure you aren't interested in my Laundry room.  Especially since my last blog featured laundry.  Especially if you are a Grandma. 

How long have you lived here?  We get this question a lot.  It has gotten quite old, first the question, then the raised eyebrows and looks of surprise.  It isn't that I'm just not a home decorator.  It is a deeper problem.  I've labeled us "extreme minimalists". It isn't that we don't have stuff.  We do.  It's just that unless it has a function, we don't buy it.  Even functional things are at risk for being delegated to the good will box, or thrown out.  My husband, being more severely affected, thinks that if you haven't touched it in 6 months out it goes.  

We have window covering only on the windows needing privacy, three mirrors that were a gift after we built our last home, and a poster and a plant, also gifts. So I can't blame people for wondering just when we moved. 

For starters I'll make some curtains, and here are the first, to cover the laundry room shelf.  I assure you, that behind these curtains are neatly shelved items: laundry soap, emergency flashlights, worm medicine for the cats, and cleaning cloths.  You know, functional things.
