I REALLY love this post - it's refreshing and inspiring and confirming. I downsized last year from a double level luxury loft (http://decorateitdarling.blogspot.com/2008/02/overdue-sneak-peak.html) to a small studio in an old character building (http://decorateitdarling.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-about-time.html). The change of location meant that I had to part with half of my wardrobe and some furniture (gave most of it away to friends, left-overs went to the local charity thrift shop). Downsizing my 'stuff' was very freeing and moving meant that I was cutting down my rental costs by HALF, allowing me the economic breathing room to pay off my debts faster and enjoy extra costs (dining out with friends, trips, etc) without having to pull out my credit cards. Living on less feels amazing and is addicting. I recommend it to everyone! I would love the challenge of another small space to create a home in - maybe I'll go even smaller next time! Thank you for this post.

I grew up with that print on my parent's living room wall as well - it's a classic. I should make an attempt to rescue it from their storage pile in the garage if it hasn't already been sold in a garage sale...

I'm digging the pale blue interior window frames!
