The guest set are beige and what we used when our bathroom was white. We won't be using them in our new design, so it make sense to set them aside for visitors. In addition to keeping towels in the cupboard, I also stowed the extra sheets and blankets we need to make up guest "beds." By "beds" I mean a twin sized air mattress as well as two long cushions from a couch that is long gone. We do now also have the futon in the basement.
I picked up two bath towels and a hand towel on clearance at Big Lots yesterday and that was the impetus for me to deal with the closet. The truth is TBG has been unhappy about it for months. My procrastination was that there were still perfectly good towels in the old color that I wasn't ready to part with. Now I have a use for them and the extra "not so nice" towels will be used for the dog or to clean up/dry messy stuff. IMO, the only thing worse than throwing in the towel, is throwing out the towel!
It's time for me to do the same! Some towels are getting pretty ratty. I do have a "guest set" but definitely need to buy some new and rotate the old out to the "rag bin".
ReplyDeleteI want to sew the old ones together to make a blanket but have to find the time -- and energy!
DeleteI have a tendency to hang onto towels for too many years.
ReplyDeleteI always figure I'll use them again. Well, at least I have a dog that gets wet a lot!
