I’m going to be saying goodbye to my spacious work center. I have a desk with all kinds of room to spread out. As a graphic designer, space was an important issue. I’m not actually going to get rid of the desk, but it is going into storage. I’m going to replace it with a very minimal model. Bush furniture has a lot of options in desks and related items. I mean, I still want it to look pretty.  :) I can’t go sacrificing style.

I suppose in the long run this whole downsizing project I needed to accomplish is going to be good for me. I got rid of a LOT of things when I moved this last time. Most of what I kept is sitting sad and lonely in a storage facility. Once I do finally have the room to use it all again, I will hopefully be accustomed to the whole less is more philosophy. Living light can be good for your soul and I’ve found it is a skill you almost have to learn. I grew up in a big house and we had lots of things. I married into a situation that included more big houses. And now, my test has come and I need to re-learn a more frugal, possession-free existence.
