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?Until a few years before the pandemic, we actually used to have people over for dinner -- in the dining room. Life and messiness and the bill chair 🙂 got in the way and we haven't entertained since, which makes me sad because I'd really like to have people over, but am embarrassed about the state of my house.
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.Hi Gayle and Ed! Would it be possible to have an episode dedicated to successes Gayle has had with clients and then also clients who didn't do so well. Would also love to learn about mistakes she sees some making and how to avoid them. Wondering if that might set some of us up to avoid pitfalls. On another note, has Gayle ever turned down a potential client and if so, why.

Thanks much!
