Remodeling and living in the same space isn't too fun, I agree with you :) However...one advantage is it forces you to keep going despite how sick of it you become lol I think we would be a lot more lax if we did not live here too!

However,I can get one small thing done and it's a big accomplishment-like the spice drawer.<br />Hang in there!!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146666825333788187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629129849864152125.post-56493652313192944282014-02-26T19:21:30.531-06:002014-02-26T19:21:30.531-06:00So beautifully written from the heart...and that p...So beautifully written from the heart...and that picture SO captures it all. When you move into your forever dream home you'll have to share some photographs. I came by your blog from Rhonda at her down to earth blog which I've read for many years and now myself have ventured into blog writing . It is a beautiful process where one can think back on happenings and lessons and ideas learnt therefrom....I wish you all the best in your new journey. I read one of your comments somewhere on your blog re the forum but have hardly used it- must give it a go again next I visit Rhonda.<br /><br />Blessings from Alexa in Australia<br /><br />http://www.Alexa-simplelife.comAlexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359326046389139990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629129849864152125.post-74936692186423150312014-02-11T12:37:40.649-06:002014-02-11T12:37:40.649-06:00Good Evening Amy, This is an interesting question,...Good Evening Amy, This is an interesting question, does the size of a house dictate what we should have in our home?<br />When I lived in Germany, I lived in a large house, and as a family our "things" increased because the house was big.... we filled every corner of the house. This was fine because the house was large. Then we returned to England and houses in England are much much smaller. I tried very hard to keep all my precious belongings in the new small house. Which I realised was silly, but it still took a while to clear away a lot of the "stuff" which did not fit into our new home, because of the emotional attachment. Once I had cleared away the things we did not really need, the house looked much better. It was light and airy and I could breath. Once I made the decision that the extra "stuff" should go, I felt a sense of peace and I settled into my new home.<br />I realise my problem is the emotional attachment which I place on "stuff".<br />Nowadays, every few months or so, we have a clear out and if things are not used, they are donated to a charity shop, so that the money raised can be donated to the Heart Foundation or a Hospice..... such a good reason to have a clearout. <br />Best Wishes<br />Daphne Ivy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629129849864152125.post-4857987344526747112014-02-02T08:50:06.302-06:002014-02-02T08:50:06.302-06:00You bring up a good question.

Our house is 918 sq ft,so I am very mindful of what I buy ( or acquire). Your post left me wondering,is it because of the size of the house that I am mindful,or is being mindful a natural progression and the house is just part of it? Hmmmm...good food for thought today.

Then I put out only the items I love.<br /><br />I have a hard time making decisions... Especially with sentimental items. When I'm in the mood to purge I make sure to donate things right away so no second guessing. I'm doing my house from top to bottom this year - one area a month.
