Beautiful and welcoming home! I love the simplicity. That is totally in line with my style as well. It is hard to go wrong from a starting place of no clutter!

I totally agree with Sasha2. I don't have a cleaning service, nor do I have kids. But you can BET when I have kids I'll have a cleaning service! In the meantime I'll have to settle for a roomba.

Well said TMV. This bit shouldn't be examined as an example of how to live. On another note though, am I the only one in the world not into fresh flowers?!?! I mean, I won't complain if they arrive at my doorstep, but why would I buy something that's dying (unless I'm going to eat it)?

Thank you for #5! I think this is really important to remember. It can be difficult to adjust your mindset from motivated to satisfied. Perfectionism is fuel for the prior and detrimental to the latter!

These definitely do NOT suck! I'm a BIG fan of the origami lanterns. Do want.

I just bought a house and have been pondering this. I actually live in Denver! What is the name of the home theater installation company?

Great Post! This list makes it easy to prioritize at the grocery store. I'd add that Eden is a great canned foods brand that does not use BPA lining. They mostly sell beans though. Didn't see any Eden tomatoes at Whole Foods today.

I have to say, this strikes me as a bit pretentious...unless you run a bed and breakfast out of your home.

I recently stumbled upon this about the wool industry, and I stopped buying wool entirely as a result. What they do to those sheep is absolutely horrendous. So I am STOKED to hear about a company like JustShorn, that takes animal welfare seriously. Just remember, JustShorn is the minority in an otherwise very cruel industry. Thanks for sharing!

I would like to add that the flowers last for MONTHS. That makes the work totally worth it to me. I hope to have a room full of healthy orchids some day. :)

Growing up, I used to laugh at my mom for being such a neat freak, and I promised myself I would never care as much about the cleanliness of my house as she does. But her ways have left their mark on me. The older I get, the more of a neat freak like her I become. And I gotta say, my tidy space feels like home.
