This is so inspiring. Although it is a gender-neutral space, it has a ton of personality and warmth. What is the paint color on the walls?

I make a lot of beans in my crockpot and then use them for various dishes.

@Nerves is right about simpler being better. Most of my crockpot failures happen when I try to complicate things.

When we lived somewhere where nobody wanted to visit, our guest room was a waste. However, now that we live in a place that people enjoy visiting, our guest bed is in frequent use. I doubt that we will ever live in such a spacious place that the guest room doesn't have a secondary or tertiary purpose.

I really love the velvet couch.

Comparing yourself to other people (or measuring yourself by them) is always going to leave you just as unhappy as the author of this article seems to be. The author's criticism of the "radical homemaking" movement seems to stem more from her dissatisfaction with her own life than from some external oppression. If luxuries are so important to her, then maybe a career change is in order. It's hard to be content, and I'm sure if the author had a conversation with some of those SUV-driving moms, she'd find that they are deeply discontented too.
