The room doesn't feel like it's closing in on me like it did before when all my stuff was overflowing out of the closet onto the floor, and when mounds of clothing occupied space on top of my dresser because that too was overflowing. When my boyfriend gently asked me when I was going to take care of the pile on my dresser I said, "Back off! That right there is art." Which he in turn responded with, "Okay, well then when is the artist removing her installation?" PURGE! Make room for the things you really love and use and get rid of the rest. I just hope I don't fall back into my old ways... which have been my ways since FOREVER!
When I gather more funds, I'll finish up the project and share photos the end result. I can't wait to see how it comes out! Until then I'll enjoy the minimalist look.
