The Yankee and I do not agree about the amount of "things" we should own. I am constantly getting the itch to downsize, downgrade, purge, declutter, donate- whatever you call it, I just want to get rid of my stuff. I think it stresses the Yankee out when I purge too often or too much at once. I know it drives my mother batty. I think I'd be happy if we owned a total of 7 pieces of furniture (I count bedside tables as one, since it would be lame not to have a pair). I think our little family would function most efficiently if we owned:
- A Captain's Bed
- Bedside Tables
- Couch
- Storage Ottoman
- Entertainment Stand
- One bookcase
- Dining Set (this also counts as one "piece")
Think about how open and wonderful our itty-bitty-NYC apartment would look!
Alas... we own books and a small collection of memorabilia, which necessitates more than one bookcase.
The Yankee loves media of all kinds, so we need a place to store 3 game consoles, all of rock band, a video game chair, various video games, and tons of DVDs (I confess, one whole binder is full of holiday movies).
So maybe my home won't look like this anytime soon ever:
