I sort of hate the sterility and sameness of the no-clutter movement. I love my books and fabric and art supplies. I know there's a happy medium, and I'm trying to recognize when the stuff owns me more than I own and love it, but an empty white space with maybe one oh-so-carefully-considered cerebrally chosen object is kind of dull, in my opinion, and it doesn't look like the home of a person who makes things, reads things, has been places, and lived a life. It looks like the home of someone who wants to impress me with their level of control.

"Saying yes to any piece of artwork or accessory that appeals to you" is indulgence, not curation. These rooms are decorated and might even be designed with some intention and creativity, but they're not curated. I too am tired of this word being abused; it's kind of an insult to people who actually are educated, experienced curators.
