J4's Profile

I bought my first house sight unseen. It was a gut rehab, and the guy in my office had renderings. I bought it immediately. Then after work, I drove to the neighborhood to see my new shell. It took me nine months to finish, and five years later I sold it for twice what I paid. And it's still my favorite house ever.

The condo I'm in now I bought on my first visit. The car I'm driving I saw across an interstate sitting on a car lot. I turned around at the next exit, went back and bought the car.

Dinner? It takes me a week to decide where I want to go, and an hour with the menu. Go figure.

I am a major organizer and I rid myself of items on a continuing basis. But there are items you should never throw away.

Jeans - There is pretty much no reason to discard jeans. Keep them all. No exceptions.

Sweaters - Keep all cashmere, 100% wool, and 100% cotton sweaters.

I'd like to see what other people won't discard.
