What struck me most was her mention of the millions of baby boomers reaching retirement age in the next 2 decades. My husband and I have inherited family heirlooms from both sides of our families - some large and some small. For me personally, having items I remember seeing at my grandparents' homes comforts me in a special way, as I moved halfway across the country after graduating high school 35 or so years ago, leaving my entire family behind. Seeing these familiar items does for my heart what comfort food does for my stomach. However, one only needs so many sets of dishes or antique washstands or whatever, before the home becomes overly full of what is now "stuff". I don't recall exactly when "sparsely furnished" turned into a possible entry for the "Clean House" show, but there it is! Beverly is correct in stating that there is an increasing need for organizers to help people downsize, but I think it's not just to downsize into a smaller residence. Some of us need it simply to be able to move around in the home we already have! I went to the site you linked to, about Beverly’s new release.
