I surrender to my stuff
...my original spring cleaning design plan was to purge, purge, purge. Let's face it, I have too much stuff and I love thrifting. So, in design reality, how is that ever going to happen?
I dreamed of pairing down and living in a space like this...a couple of cushion...a few pics.
...or this, stark...all white walls and floor...very little on the walls.
Ohhh, yeah. Seriously, like this...accessories? What accessories?
...But, I am a realist when it comes to design. I tell my clients all the time to, "get real"...and the above images are nice, but that's not how I live...I have stuff...and I love being able to look at my stuff...It reminds we of where I've been...things I've done...there are lots of memories in my stuff...and I like having that around me...
...stuff can be beautiful. Just look at how beautiful stuff can be.
I surrender to my stuff.
