      I love a clean, organized, artful home free of excess accumulation. Therefore, I am a tosser who reevaluates her possessions each season to see what stays, what leaves. If the item is in good shape, I happily donate, if not, it goes in the garbage. This keeps me in flow with my environment and never overwhelmed by any cleaning. Cleaning for me is a form of letting go, making room and appreciating that which I have.

      applaud messy, normal, mismatched, lived-in spaces.

      we should admit that everything done in front of a camera is a performance, not reality; we should acknowledge that being welcomed into someone’s house is a gift of connection, not an invitation to judge.

      Yes, yes. Loved this reflection. I will be cautious to not apologize for any beautifully mismatched lived-in spaces I inhabit in future <3
