DEAR GAIL: I recently moved into a loft and I’m overwhelmed on how to make it work. I came from a 1,800-square-foot house with a basement to 900 square feet of open space, on one floor with no closets. I do love it because I can walk everywhere and don’t have as much to take care of, but I am stumped on what to do. I am renting so I can’t make any permanent changes. Thanks. — Lilly
