And it’s not just about abundance; it’s also about order. I think that is why we get so excited by Martha Stewart and her laundry rooms — it certainly isn’t about doing the washing and ironing! It’s about the comfort that order gives us: shelves stacked with fluffy white towels; large glass jars of laundry powder with metal scoops; smaller jam jars of buttons; and so on. Order — and the ability to reach for things as you need them, rather than constantly running out — is a good thing.
