That photo always reminds me of my wife's apartment when we first met. Her living room was almost totally empty. A super narrow bookcase here, two chairs there, a table in a corner, and everything else was just empty. Swathes of unused empty space between a handful of pieces of furniture. My house was the exact opposite: stuff everywhere. Any bit of empty space will immediately be put to use. And that is a thing my wife had a problem with, instead of all the empty.
