If you tend toward minimalism...
...how many sets of bedsheets and bathroom towels do you have?
In our home, the kids each have two sets, basically because if they are sick, or have an accident (fortunately we are pretty much beyond that now), I obviously wasn't washing and drying sheets in the middle of the night. Dh and I have only one set, but I wouldn't mind having one more set for us for convenience sake; there have been times when I probably should have changed the sheets but skipped because I didn't want deal with laundering everything before bed that day.
For towels, we have four bath sized, eight hand towels, and four washcloths. Today as dd used (and completely soaked) three of the four bath towels for her shower, I definitely thought we could use a few more.
Growing up, my parents had so many sheets and towels. They bought more, but never really got rid of any (unless they were ripped or otherwise damaged beyond use - then my father took them for his garage). I mean, my folks still have (and use!) sheets they received as wedding gifts and they've been married 47 years.
