In reply to Mary.

I’m trying an experiment. What would it be like if my closets were virtually empty? I doubt I’ll never have an answer, but it’s an interesting concept.

I should add that in some places the toilet room is called a “water closet” – just a toilet – maybe a sink too – that might be a subject for another essay for you.

Interesting – my house has a “walk-in” closet in what use to be called the “master bedroom” but which I think now should be called the “mistress” bedroom. It also has another “regular” closet – Mak hung most of his clothes in that one with the overflow (his suits that he almost never wore) in the walk in closet. Both of the boys rooms had standard “reach in closets” as does the guest room. Too many closets in which to store too much stuff – much of which really is junk. One hidden horror is the really big and heavy old window a/c unit that will require hiring a couple of football type guys to remove. The camp trunk that belonged to one son’s former girl friend was removed and emptied years ago – I mailed her the letters from her father – she did not want the vinyl records. Without the large and overstuffed closets in my house – much junk might have departed years ago.
In European hotels there are not closets – there are “wardrobes” free standing furniture – or at least in the hotels I have stayed in. Maybe there are houses with built-in closets in the US because we have such big houses. I do not recall seeing closets in houses in Japan.
