Clutter Is In The Eye of the Beholder
Clutter--The Definations Vary
I know some people whose lives are the epitomy of simplicity, mainly because anything but clean and "uncluttered" goes against their natural grain. Even their flower gardens are a perfect design in uni-colored and well organized simplicity.
Their homes are minimalist in design, as are their wardrobes. In some ways, I admire this.
Unfortunately, I am too much a lover of variety, color, "things," to live that way. To some, my flower garden would a mess of clashing colors, but as an artist and an individual, I know what looks good to my eye. I do, however, hate being disorganized. I don't like unnecessary things that take up too much space and collect too much dust. I like a casual orderliness about my home and life.
Still others prefer to have all their collections on display all the time. I have a sister-in-law whose house is clean, but every wall is covered with things she loves. Every corner holds something dear to her. To me, it is clutter. To her, it is beautiful, homey, appealing in every way.
Hence, clutter IS in the eye of the beholder.
What is unique about your home and lifestyle? Would many consider it cluttered? Or the design of simplicity?
