I have had some good advice from MissViolet. Have removed a couple of sheets, still not there yet. Here is one quote from clutterbusteronline: "Keep only two sheets, two comforters and two bedspreads per bed. Donate all the rest. " Here is a lovely simple to read site: www.simplicityplease.com/tips.htm"Linen Closet – Let your linens breathe! Bring out the current seasons blankets; store the out of season blankets. There’s no need for more than 2 sets of sheets per bed. Toss old ruff sheets, stained towels, or anything with a hole in it! Beach and pool towels need to be made readily accessible. If you like sort sheets into sets, and place a full set inside its coordinating pillowcase." www.realsimple.com/realsimple/gallery/print/0,22304,1103122,00.html The best website suggestion so far: www.creativehomemaking.com/articles/041804d.shtmlchoosetoprosper.com/organize-linen-closet.html |

The good thing is that last night after the kids were asleep, sort of, we were able to go through a bag of sheets that wouldn't fit in the linen press after we moved here. Also one sheet was getting thin in one place and it made wonderful dusters, which we were getting short of. A great pile of fluffy identical apricot dusters, great for dusting the piano as they are flannelette.

Those old flannelette sheets make the best dusters, don't they Br? Your linen press must look lovely now with everything able to be put away neatly. I keep "gift" soaps in my linen press so that it smells nice. I seem to end up with a bar or two of gorgeously-scented soap each year, which I unwrap and tuck between the sheets and towels.

Here's another tip for fresh smelling sheets:
place dryer sheets like Downy in your linen closet.
Something else I like to do: when I put clean sheets on my bed, I lightly mist them with a liquid fabric softener that I've diluted with water. I especially like the lavendar scent that Downy makes. I use it as an air freshner too! Anyway, I turn the bedding down and it smells so nice when we get ready to climb in!

That's a really good idea, lynn. I've seen expensive "pillow sprays" but never thought to do it the way you've suggested.  |

We like to sprinkle baby powder on the nattress before putting the fitted sheet on. Since we open a new bar of soap each time we put one in the shower, we also keep them in the linen closet til we need it, and then we do it all over again, LOL

I think I have a baby powder phobia lol. Our eldest used to be a real "boy" and get into everything. We had everything up high but he always seems to get hold of the baby powder.
