The fun of clutter.

This blog spins through our various attempts at self-improvement—health, frugality, beauty, manners, godliness, fitness, general discipline, etc. One of our favourites is decluttering. Not just when you move house, but as a way of life; living without clutter is a sort of freedom and we pursue it sporadically.

However. One of the blogs I check every day is unhappy hipsters. I love it because it shows cool, designy people in cool, designy, clutterfree houses—but adds dark, absurd little captions. So I don't really mind that I will never achieve a perfect, funky, soulless interior, because that is a very hollow ambition. Anyway, it's more normal and human to live with a little bit of chaos.

From her plywood perch she surveyed the new, clean world she’d created for herself. And it was perfect.
