Isn't that her point? "keep what brings you joy?" If you enjoy the furniture, I think her philosophy would have you keep it.
- blueridge 6y agoYeah, you're correct. That's her point, I think? What I'm driving at is that the minimalism and tidying-up trend leaves a lot to be desired, and I've known a few people who have gone too far with it. But that's my opinion. If you want to live with two plates and two glasses and one pan and a single spatula, by all means. If you want to donate four bookshelves worth of physical reading material and go Kindle-only, so be it. I think your space will be lesser without those books, but it ain't my space. I like homes that look and feel lived in. I've walked in to homes that don't have a trace of humanity in them and I find it quite depressing. Modern architecture, interior design, and a good deal of modern furniture pieces strike me as bland and unremarkable.
