That is what all this is about, living an authentic life. Some folks live fine in a 400 square foot loft, some in a big home. Both are right for the ones living there. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and pictures of your home. I love it. Your home is lovely and fits your family so well. That is what all this is about, living an authentic life.

Also, learning the lesson of admitting mistakes about purchasing decisions has been tough, but freeing at the same time. I too am fighting the time management dragon, but I must say that at the moment I feel like I am winning, and loving it. Minimalism has really taught me to appreciate my time.

Fascinating how it pertains to minimalism--you make great points. I’ve also moved around a good bit internationally, and have found that there are pros and cons to this somewhat nomadic lifestyle.

To me, that's the perfect definition of minimalism.

Thanks for adding them. I love that her minimalism isn't stark or cold. I love that it isn't extreme, but that it is do-able. I have a 1920's style Tudor, so this gives me fuel to accomplish my goals too! <3 Love seeing the photos! Thanks for adding them. I love that her minimalism isn’t stark or cold.

It's the look I'm always going for--just enough to be cozy, but just little enough to be calming. Sounds like we have the same philosophy--there can be empty space and there can be less functional items, but we have to LOVE everything that is there!

It's funny how the things we experience as a child felt like torture then but as we look back on it the experiences held a wealth of treasures. Weekends bobbing around in the Pacific ocean on my family's 20' sailboat was a day wasted as a child, but a fond memory now. I blog about money behaviors and how what we do with our money affects our lives. Minimalism is a form of money management -- we spend less on "stuff", pay less to store "stuff" and become more prosperous as we define a life we really want and then focus on spending to support that life. I can't wait to visit your blog and learn more about how you've transformed yours! Ree ~ I blog at EscapingDodge.com Hi Kendra,

It really spoke to me. I've been struggling, too, with how to fashion my home in a way that honors my need to have beautiful things around me and yet remain minimal in the acquisition of those things. Seems it is possible. Your home is beautiful! Kendra, I loved your story. It really spoke to me.
