Mama use to say that you need three sets of linen. . One clean in the closet, one on the bed and one in the wash. I think this formular can be applied to a lot of things. I use it for clothes like sweatsuits and pajamas. I have pared down our dishes in the same way. Three cups each, three glasses each, three sets of silverware etc, we no longer entertain but if we decide to, it would be informal like a BBQ and paper plates work fine. Since I have a kindle, I am now going through my books and trying to pare them down. This is harder because I still love paper books.
