Progression

Well, it's official.

We are owners of a new (to us) couch. And that old sectional is with a new loving family. Our house could now be called bare to most. To me, it's near perfection. If you're new to minimalism or are just on a path to paring down, I'd like to share our progression.

Stage 1: On a bad day...

No surface left uncovered

Stage 2: Bookcases gone along with a lot of other junk

Stage 3: The here & now. Emptiness.

Big difference, right? Some may be thinking that there's a lot of "dead" space. However, what I see is a place...

- For impromptu dance parties
- To stick dog crates for animals using us as a temporary house
- Full of running Wild Boys
- To hold handstand contests
- Allowing creativity in any art medium
- To host friends and family for parties
- With almost nothing to trip over
- That lacks surfaces to house items that should've been put away the first time
- Void of items needing to be put away or cared for

Now that I can breathe more easily, how's your house coming along? Are you in decluttering mode? What does a minimalist space look & feel like to you?
