Design Obsession - MINIMALISM

If any of you have read some of my recent facebook posts, I am in the process of packing. After a few days of this madness, I now declare myself as a 'hoarder.' Yes, I just admitted that I have a problem. 


With just my husband, myself, and our two little boys (doggies!), it is a little excessive, and yes ridiculous that we have over 100+ pieces of china, 8 Costco sized boxes of ziploc baggies, and well, too much of everything else. It is not fun being a hoarder when you have to pack it all yourself...


In the past, I felt that every wall, corner, and room needed to have 'something' - well that 'something' now means another box for me to pack. As a new resolution, I will no longer be a hoarder. The new house is a little smaller, so be on the look out for our massive garage sale! 


MINIMALISM - is what our new design goal is going to be. Living with what we need, but a little room here and there for some fun knick knacks. Here are some inspiration photos I found of some minimalistic spaces -

But for now, got to get back to more packing...
