To me, minimalism is clean lines and NO clutter. I prefer the serenity of all white spaces.

I love my books, but I much prefer the serenity in the white bedroom. In a perfect world, my house would have a room donated to JUST books and a good reading chair. Since I've started using a Kindle, I guess I'm ready to start clearing clutter.

I have my daughter Swiffer and vac once a week. Other than that, I just ignore the shedding my six cats and I do. Lazy? Yes, but a whole lot less stress.

I really like #1, 2 and 6. The rest have too much stuff for my taste. I love all white rooms with just 2-3 pieces. White to me is calming and serene and that's what I want from my space.

This would be PERFECT for my newly redone bedroom (November blue walls, white trim and black accents).

I live in a rural area and if I don't have power, I don't have water either! You need power (electric) to pump the water out of the well into the house. And since my cooking is electric, when I have a power outage, I have no heat, no light, no water, no food, not to mention no refrigeration and my garage door won't go up and down!! If I didn't live in the cold, snowy north, I'd probably invest in a new solar or wind powered system. Or maybe, I just figure I won't live long enough to enjoy the investment since I'm already retired!

My parents still live in the same house from when they were married in 1946. My bedroom has been long gone to make room for their hobbies. 83 and 91. Long may they live.

There is only one tv in our house: it's in its own room because I refuse to have one in the living room or the bedroom.

We like our house really cool (67-69). We recently had two solar attic fans installed. The past few days, we've noticed it is cooler in the house and the AC has been off the past 2-3 days. That should save on our light bill and makes the installation costs seem not so bad.

In my world, white will ALWAYS be the kitchen color of choice, including white appliances. White appliances have been around forever. I've never been a trendsetter but I bought my first trash compactor 24 years ago. I'm surprised it hasn't been more popular in the past two decades as it's one kitchen appliance I consider necessary.
