Have you started secretly opening up drywall and putting stuff in between the studs? And then, how do you remember WHERE you put WHAT? I am impressed on so many levels. I have to confess I bought some white square plates this weekend (on sale at JCP!). They are heavy, have nice shape and can be used for salad, dessert or lunch meals.
