Thank you for posting this. I am moving now to a new place. It is my mother’s house and I’m just going to be a guest for a little while until I start a new life with my fiance. I have been moving towards minimalism for sometime now, but I do need to work on the small piles of clutter that build themselves up once in a while.

Overall – I think this type of lifestyle is something that will compliment me and my future husband. It will take some work initially, but when I imagine the freedom associated with it – I can only hear the angels singing! :)

I’ve added you on twitter so that I can keep up with other minimalist individuals.

Cheers,
Adrienne

I go crazy when I see things piled up everywhere. Some people have little ornaments or decorations on every open space. My house is very simple. No pictures on the walls and everything is hidden. However, it is some work to keep it organized. My desk has no problem accumulating debris.

It is interesting to note that houses in Japan are normally overstuffed with old things. Japanese place huge importance on the walls around their house and their gardens, but almost none on the interior of the house. Kitchens in particular are usually a mess. They are not used to entertain like western style kitchens, so people do not maintain them very well.

Of course, there are the designer houses you see in the magazines, but I haven’t had the opportunity to visit any of those.

oh this is so good — in theory.

I am a “stacker”. Things get piled and I have a fantastic memory for about how far down in what corner of the pile something is. BUT I do feel stress when I see the big picture of the room! So each pile unto itself is good for me, ALL the piles are too much together.

I am getting better, at least I see the clutter now. My husband particularly is thankful for that…. poor guy.

Hey ,
Your post comes in such a gr8 timing … I am about to move to a new apartment and hope so this post and the further series would help me a lot in organizing my apartment properly .
Lastly we tend to buy certain things just because its a idea of that time or month .. I think so we should restrain such buying …. no need to buy unless we need it badly ..
Thanks
Sudeep
