Living In Less

    I do alot of organizing and cleaning for people and the one thing I notice is how much stuff we seem to collect.  Stuff that seems so very important.  Stuff that someone gave so and so a half a century ago and although it is tattered and dirty, sitting in a corner of your basement, you can't seem to part with it.  So much stuff, there is hardly room for the people who live in the house. 

    Does any of this sound familiar?  Are you a pack rat or a minimalist?  Do you love a big house or something small and simple?  This week's posts are all about living in less.  The small home.  It's not for everyone but sometimes,  it's fun to flirt with the idea of living a simple life.

Here are some great small homes!  There is a big movement in the United States towards smaller homes.  It really does make sense, but it's not for everyone. 

There's small...
