great, humorous article. I discovered once you begin editing it becomes addicting. I moved to a house half the size of the previous one. Held a huge garage sale and kept running out of stuff so I'd run in the house and drag more out. At the end of the weekend I was not only richer but it made my move easier. My home is small and neat now but I am always editing so I never become the clutter bug I once was. Simplicity is my zen.

beutiful, serene, peaceful looking... even in the middle of the a big city. Love the mouldings, fireplace and furnishings. Can you tell me where you got the amazing hanging light in the bedroom?

Gorgeous home! I've been looking at the suburban tract homes and hate the dated oak cabinets they all seem to have. Love yours! Maybe there's a way to simply stain the cookie cutter ones already hanging to get a look similar to yours without the expense. Everything looks wonderful!

Ok it's a movie but the home that stole my soul is Diane Keaton's beach home from the movie,"Something's Got to Give". Sheer bliss.

I live in a small loft which is very open and lacks storage space. My 6x8 entry way is the most effecient use of space in the loft.There's a key hook immediately accessible when I open the door. I installed a rustic board with coat hooks along the length of one wall, holding coats, scarves, unbrellas, purses and hats. On the other wall is a custom shoe cabinet which reminds me to remove my shoes and put them away. Saves me from tripping over them later or wasting time searching for them. And the last wall has a small table with a lamp on a timer, so I never come home to a dark home. The table has a drawer holding sunglasses, extra keys and a lint remover. Behind the table is a large mirror to make a quick check before I head out and on the shelf below is a bag I take to the Goodwill when it's full. I am constantly editing my belongings and make a run to the Goodwill several times a year. Getting rid of stuff makes me feel lighter, freer and liberated. Try it!

Love eclectic style but not those dining room chairs. Looked like hand me downs or Craigslist rejects. There's a time and place for mismatched chairs (recently divorced, going to college) but nothing I'd actually purchase on purpose.

... typo. 'sprig' not 'spring'. my bad.

so I'm guessing this isn't just to shuck the corn but it's cooked as well???

GORGEOUS! I used to live in a Craftsman as well and love all your charming touches. Where did you get your bar stools? Very funky & unique!
