My daughter was watching "Bewitched" show from the 60's the other day. Both of us were struck as to how simple things seemed about the homes. The decor was tasteful, but not as busy and cluttered as you see today. I remember my grandparents' homes being the same way. They just didn't have as much sitting around or even on the walls.
We aren't supposed to say, "Those were the good days," so I won't. I'll just strive to keep my home a little simpler by keeping out unnecessary items.
Wow! First week at work was just - wow! It's definitely going to take me some time to catch up and get to know everything.
ReplyDeleteI've been busy just about every minute at home trying make sure everything gets done that needs to get done. My simplifying is definitely going to be more challenging. Today I put 1 candle holder in the give-away box and threw away enough garbage in an area I was cleaning to count as one item trashed. Put away and reorganized some things as well.
*Heidi - I'm sorry you had to return the old electronic item... :( maybe soon, though! Or you'll be able to ship it off with him one day!
*BTW - my 5 shelf bookshelf that I organized earlier in the year is still looking good! Every time I walk by it I am amazed that it hasn't been trashed! :) Something's working!
