I think a lot of people think of books as exempt from rules about clutter etc. But are they, really? You're still defining yourself by your possessions and acquisitions, and they're still (be honest!) piles of "stuff" that you don't often use. I used to have scads of books (and records), but I moved so often that they were becoming a problem. Now I keep reference stuff or things that I irrationally reread (cookbooks, Tintin) and get the rest from the library. As a previous poster said, it's presumably the ideas therein that matter, not the lumps of paper. How To Declutter Your Home |

I live in (cold, damp) Newfoundland, and I've tried getting really low on the thermostat. I find if it's too cold for me, it doesn't matter whether it's by one degree or ten. So adjust up and down to find what works for you. I'd rather turn it waaay back at night and when I'm out (10 celsius, 50 f), and keep it around 19 (66f) when I'm home and awake. I work more overtime in the winter, to save on home heat and to have more free time in the summer. Save Money with a One Month Crash Utilities Diet |

I'm normally a planner/pre-packer. Then two moves back, my first long-distance move, I thought my new employers were paying for the movers to do the actual packing, but nobody told the movers. I ended up with 90 minutes notice to find boxes and, with the help of the truck driver's wife (honest), pack all my possessions. Amazingly, it all worked out. Since then, I think really, really hard before buying things... What Does Your Moving Style Say About You? | Apartment Therapy DC |

I actually kinda like the kitchen cabinets. More than the shower curtain. House Tour: Brenden's Shannon's Pint-Sized Pad2009 Small Cool Winner | Apartment Therapy San Francisco |

For some reason I read the comments before taking the tour, so as I started the tour I was like, "yeah, yeah, how interesting could a spice rack possibly be- HOLY CRAP!" Christen's "Beautiful Goofball" ApartmentHouse Tour | Apartment Therapy Chicago |

I really like the scabby blue wall to the right of the fireplace, and the tiny kitchen (even the window). But if it were mine (ha!), I would definitely want a good place to sit near the window. If I were ever home in the daytime. The Canal Apartment Tech Tour | Apartment Therapy Unplugged |

The "Scout Camp Green" doesn't work for me, but I like that it's kinda glossy. The big mirror on the same wall as the window is good -- anywhere else and it might read as "design magazines told me that this mirror would make my place look bigger."
