Less

I think often beauty lies in what's left out - old, half-empty spaces that kindle a myriad of thoughts, ideas, memories, dreams. And plenty of room to breathe, dance, lie on the floor & stare at the ceiling. I think that's why I love the feeling you get when you first tread the floorboards of a brand new home, before all the removal boxes are unopened and anything is still possible. 


(May this also serve as a pep talk for myself to start decluttering...)

A lovely weekend to you all, deep breaths. x

oh yes. our home is actually much lovelier without any of the 'stuff.' sigh. i am always surprised how much better i feel when i choose to subtract rather than add to the inventory.

beautiful images!

Ajattelen niin samalla tavalla! Kuvat aivan mielettömän herkkiä ja kauniita. Voi kun joskus pääsisi olemaan tai asumaan tuollaisessa tilassa kuin tuo ylin kuva! Ah niin paljon tilaa olla ja hengittää kuten kirjoitit. Sävytkin niin hyviä.

Kiitos jälleen ja hienoja kuvia tuossa alempana kodistasi. Vaalea lattia ja ovet ja kaikki niin hienoa.

Hyvää kevättä sinulle.
-Anu

gorgeous... and lovely words too! all ring true to me at the moment... much de-cluttering to do. :)

I agree. Yet I know I would never be a minimalist in the pure sense of the word, as I do love beautiful things so much. They just all have to have a place and a purpose I guess.

I'm still needing it :)

That sounds wonderful!!

Flowing curtains and tall ceilings coupled with an empty space has to be where magic happens!

Kiitos Anu! Näissä on kyllä jotain, varsinkin, jos klikkaa ja tuijottaa isoina. Vähemmän on kyllä enemmän, ainakin silloin kun puitteet on kohdallaan kuten näissä kahdessa :)

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Good look to us with that :)
