Simple or Not.
I love looking at pictures in Country Living and House Beautiful.
I could live in just about every house I see in those magazines. I have a problem with deciding what I want MY home to look like, however. I
could
be considered a minimalist...but I like having a haven full of warm
happy treasures around me too. I think about how much more I have to clean the more I have around me though. I like having less clutter. There is so much (clutter) in the boys rooms that I tend to have less in the rest of the house. I just want to have simple things around me and when I've got a lot of clutter (treasures or not) I tend to feel out of control. I've been trying to simplify for YEARS! I do a good job of it for a while and get rid of the things that I don't need or use then I go into my closet and see a skirt that I KNOW I'll be wearing this summer once I lose 10 pounds.
That skirts been in there for a looooong time.
I guess I'll just keep going through my house and putting things out that I love
and then taking them away again a few weeks later.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday!
