~ William Morris
I love the quote above. It is a wonderfully simple way to say "have no clutter" because I don't know of anyone who thinks that clutter is beautiful.
Clutter comes in many forms--sometimes obvious and sometimes not. Physical clutter is obvious, although defining it is a personal opinion. Mental clutter manifests itself into visual clutter. When you purge the physical clutter, the mental clutter will follow it out the door!
We have challenged ourselves to declutter at least one item from our lives per day for the next year. We have accepted the 365 Days of Decluttering Challenge...Want to join us?
CONGRATULATIONS CHALLENGERS!

I try to keep that quote in mind when I'm going through my house. It sums up exactly what we should have.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to know.
ReplyDeleteI love the principle, I just wish it was easy for me to put in practice.
ReplyDeleteI have many decorative "pretties" that I think are lovely in and of themselves; the question is, do I want to share space with them every day. This is where I dither, and hold onto things that it wouldn't kill me to let go of.
