Simply fascinating

There is always a part of me that loves simple. The less complicated anything is, the more satisfying it often feels to me. I like life reduced down to the lowest quality common denominator.

Quality is the key word though.

I would rather have one really good pair of earrings, or gloves, or jar of face cream, or coat, or shoes, or towels and sheets, than twenty so so ones.

The idea of living in a compact place with exactly what I need really appeals to me.

It isn't exactly financially prudent, because it does mean pairing down on an almost constant basis, but it means that what I have is useful and generally appropriate.

Looking around my apartment today gives me a sense of peace and well being. I am starting out the new year with sorted out books, clothes, bathroom supplies and linen.

Small houses appeal to me, but I am long past wanting to climb ladders to bed. I get up two or three times a night to go to the bathroom, so it better be on the same level I sleep on. Otherwise I think I would be shopping for the most compact place on earth. The idea of murphy beds that convert between sleeping and desks fascinates me and wet bathrooms seem like the perfect solution. I would love a home that slips, slides, folds and rotates!
