Ellen – I totally edit, too. I am going to start using that phrase I’m in a current edit mode after travelling and living out of a suitcase. I’ve come to realise what I really want, need and have to let go of. Edit, edit, edit!

Jennifer,

The easiest way is something in, something out! And only buy what you love whether it’s a toaster or a couch. Just really think about everything – that is key.

I love seeing the interiors of others’ houses. It’s interesting to see the Danish take on interior decor. Neat. Your Mom has a beautiful place.

The word to describe my own indoor decorating efforts, currently, is “spare” (as in, “edit..edit..edit”). I don’t have kids nor the accumulation of “stuff” that many do. Nevertheless, I sometimes feel that I’d like to turn the house upside down and desposit nearly everything into a whopping garbage bin. I get overwhelmed by even minor sorting…

Quality over quantity, paid for with cash, is in my future. Simplicity and freedom.

I had a chance to look at your flikr photos and really enjoyed all the photos on the hotels! I’ve been to some, but I really got some good ideas for future trips and where to stay. I think you should write a travel book! I know I have commented before, but I really love your out look in life and try and live the same way myself.
