My definition of purge – sell, donate, repurpose or throw away items as you see fit

Winter Linens

I live on the Gold Coast in Queensland, so the temperature here is still quite warm, however I have been reading that some of the lovely people who live in the southern parts of Australia are feeling the chill in the evenings, winter is approaching.

I keep all our winter linens in the top of the laundry linen cupboard. Usually when I put the linens away after the cold season has finished I go through them and purge any that need replacing or no longer functioning as needed. My kids love flannelette sheets and I find after a few years they are really worn and need replacing.

I store all our seasonal sheets in the large Ikea Kassett boxes.  When these are ready to be replaced or I can find another purpose for them, I would prefer to use plastic storage boxes for my linens.

 

Todays task is to:

Go through all your winter linens, purge any excess items you don’t need, or items that are very worn and need replacing.  Create a shopping list of the items you need to replace so you have them ready for winter.

For each bed in our home I have the following:

• 2 x regular sheet sets
• 2 x flannelette sheet sets
• 1 x blanket
• 2 x quilts/doonas
• 1 x pillow
• 1 x mattress protector
• 1 x pillow protector

How many items have you been able to purge today?
