In Minnesota ARC Value Village. All the proceeds go to fund programs for people with developmental disabilities.
Living with a wanna be Hoarder I find telling him his "good stuff", will go to a help others works miracles...a lot less fighting over getting rid of things.

Very nice....I like the color palette... classy.

Very Edwardian....I love it.

Yes, the health concerns with the trailers are worrisome...but at least they have running water, flush toilets etc. And I do think as much as I like "things", I agree with La Loca that we do get too caught up in what we own. There are worse things than living in a trailer. I think the fact that we get so impassioned about this subject might have something to do with the fact that this is a site devoted basically to decorating and lifestyle.
Again, I don't mean to downplay the health concerns, but much of what I read here I think is related to our basic stereotype of trailers and people who live in them.

I only bring black and white clothes. It's amazing how long you can go on that combination. Also, I don't care how long I'm going to be gone, if I can't carry it, I don't want it. It's pretty rare you go somewhere they don't have affordable shops, and worse case scenerio, go out an buy what you need and ship it home or donate it to a Goodwill.....

I've read that taking used carpet and laying it down also works, and you don't have to worry about it ripping and blowing away. I agree about the Roundup....I'd rather have the weeds. Not sure about any toxic run off from the carpet.
