a mid century marvel

there is so much to love here. so much. from the wood paneled walls, to the bedroom built ins- this super small home has so much to offer. sometimes smaller spaces, though more challenging to work within, provide greater room for creativity and a rather minimalistic approach. you have no choice but to declutter living in a place like this. which is so right up my alley. i'm constantly 'cleaning out.' having too much room leaves space for too much stuff. just pause a moment and imagine being in this home. it's so warm and cozy. i could live here, yes i could.

my minimalistic tendencies don't seem to expand beyond the 'clutter'. i'm not sure if this is a good thing, but it does make me realize my need vs. want ratio should be prioritized and more well planned before considering a purchase. as b and i discuss our financial future, among all the unknowns, there is one obvious sureity- a tight budget is in our future- and that's most definately okay. but nevertheless, is a learning process. i'm humbled in the recognition of my selfish desires. i'm learning how to minimalize the want list- finding that the 'need' list is small, opening my eyes and my heart to the fact i am beyond blessed. i have more than enough. i'm transitioning into a season of learning  how to be contempt with what i already have-and making the most of it. this is, indeed, a truly humbling and refreshing season to be in. it's a very visual reflection of the spiritual changes going on in our season of life. i. am. grateful.
