It works for us. Our daughter's room is probably the most decorated part of our our home. My wife loves gardening, but has found new hobbies. She doesn't share my enthusiasm for minimalism, but she has embraced it and is also happier these days. Caring for a big house was like having a 2nd job. There were nice parts, but I don't miss it. We have a nice home, we just try not to fill it with stuff. I know it isn't for everyone but I like the clean minimal aesthetic, it's calming. Renting is a luxury in some ways. Now that we don't spend as much time on the nest, we have time for other things, and much less stress.
