Dorothy In The “Flower Room”
From the time we started stripping the wallpaper in Dorothy’s room she moved the lion’s share of the things that had been in her room into what was going to be our guest room across the hall. For about two years that was her dressing room, play room, and basically everything except sleeping room. Much of the time it looked as though a tornado had come through, since she had more clothes than dresser drawers.
On a few occasions she cleaned the room and got things reasonably organized but there was simply too much stuff for the space and entropy inevitably won the day. This week Dorothy began what can only be described as “the great purge.” She went through everything and decided what she wanted to keep and what she was willing to give away. To her great credit, she was fairly ruthless and I would say that about half her clothes and more than half her things were put in the “get rid of” pile.
So, here is “the flower room” in a state that it hasn’t seen since, well, it seems like forever.
