Where Did You Put That?

I think I’ve heard this question thousand times in my life. And I don’t have a very long life. however, it must be a very disorganized one, since I seem to never be able to find my things without a lot of searching. I’ve just heard that I could use a purse organizer and I wonder if it wouldn’t be wise to extend this also to the house. Why not have a place where to write down where I put everything, in alphabetical order, then when I need them, just look into this agenda and find everything on the spot? But then I got another idea: what if I lose the organizer? Maybe I need a seocnd one, where to track down the places I leave the first one. Or maybe it would just be better to put all the things in their place after use, and never use those organziers again? What do you think?

The most important thing when you build your home, is to decide from the very beginning if you are building it for comfort or for shoeing off. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you cannot have both, but you need to take all aspects into consideration before the building is too advanced to change your mind about architecture or design details.
