A GON Reader Asks:

Hello Maria: Do you have any ideas to organize blankets? We have many and our small house has very tiny closets. Thank you for sharing your great ideas!

Maria Gracia responds:

Hi Teresa! Thanks for your great question. Here are some ideas:

1) Each family member can keep one in his or her bedroom closet.

2) In the living room, you might like to keep a few blankets to use as throws to curl up with on chilly nights. They tend to look really nice placed over the backs of sofas and recliners, are handy when you need them, and don't require extra storage space.

3) If you have a spare bedroom, you could keep a couple of blankets in there to be used whenever they're needed...for guests or for yourselves. Use the closet, an open basket displayed in the corner of the room, or an empty guest dresser, perhaps, that's not being used?

If you have blankets that are keepsakes, they can be kept in a sturdy box or chest at the foot of your bed or even under the bed for extra space.

After going through the blankets you have, if you find you have too many for the number of family members living in your house, you can give some to others as gifts or to those in need and free up some space in your home. Churches and shelters always need and appreciate these items, especially when it's cold out. You might also consider taking some blankets to your local animal shelter. Extra blankets and towels (even worn out ones) are always needed for the animals, too!

Thank you for writing and I hope these ideas help!
