|---|---|
| Which of the following statements describe your living situation with respect to a dining room and dining-room furniture? |
|
| Please complete the following statement: “Members of my household and I eat most of our meals _____.” | In the kitchen at a high top table that has 2 chairs. |

| What feelings or memories—positive, negative, or in-between—does the phrase “dining room” evoke for you? How have your attitudes, beliefs, or practices around dining and entertaining changed over time? What impact, if any, do dining and entertaining have on the clutter in your space? | I like our DR for entertaining but I often find myself using the table for an assortment of stuff—until it gets on my nerves and I put it all away. It’s a bad habit I’m trying to break. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | My husband said when we bring in one new thing we should get rid of 2 things. We are very active and I’m still writing and teaching but I’m always on the prowl for things I can use as pots for plants. I have a little greenhouse. I suppose I should declutter it now that spring is here. |
| Future topics | Books, magazines. And how about all those old folders with sheets from magazines and newspapers (old!) marked recipes, decorating, gardening. I suppose I should go thru them quickly. How much time should one allow for decluttering per week? Is there a rule of thumb? Thank you both for a great show every week. Always entertaining and informative! |
