More home adaptations in progress....
Today, I worked on my bedroom closet. It's a walk-in, with no lighting, other than a tiny battery operated one. After dragging everything out into the bedroom, I packed away summer clothing, and separated shoes into groups by colors. I reorganized lingerie, also by color. Now, I can reach into that black space and easily locate the things that I need.
The bathroom is in better shape. More items are marked with huge felt letters, held in place with rubber bands. Lotions and manicure items have their own places. Not perfect, but it's progress.
Today, I spent awhile on Pinterest. I projected the iPad onto the tv screen in order to make out the pictures. I'm looking at ways to mark and adapt things around the house.
I need to mark the cabinet drawers and knobs in the kitchen. I'm constantly feeling around to find them. I'm thinking that a simple solution would be brightly colored ribbons tied around each one.
Everything in that room, as well as the laundry and Mudroom, are white. There's no way to find the doorways where they lead into each other, aside from putting brightly colored items against the walls and doorways, as landmarks. As a result, I've sported a badly broken toe for several weeks.
Should be getting used to getting injured due to not seeing things by now. I sport an ever changing array of bruises at any given time. Still, it gets old.
It's a dilemma. I need the contrast in order to find things. The problem is that so many colors are gone from my sight. I can make out some of the light colors, and the reds are still mostly there. The rest are either muddy or faded. I don't want a childish or a garish color scheme in my home. Even if I cannot see it, I want my home to be beautiful and classy. So, as a result, I'm looking at colored ribbons in muted tones which coordinate with things like my china pattern. Thankfully, I have apps which will match and identify the colors.
Enough for now....
