Good Morning!
I hope all of you slept well. We closed some windows, and added an extra blanket to our beds, and slept like babies while the temperature dipped into the forties last night!
After reading the book on small houses last night, I am considering the benefits of downsizing even more than I have in the past. While I do not know if the two of us could live comfortably in a home that small, I do wonder if we could live in less space than we have now.
Years ago, I lived in a 10×50 mobile home with three kids and two dogs. With all of those children combined with the fact that I wasn’t ready to downsize my posession, we ended up cramped, to say the least. I own a lot less now than I did back then as far as personal posessions go, but a lot more as far as furniture goes.
The saddest part? Most of that furniture doesn’t get used. It just sits in my living room looking pretty, wasting precious space.
The truth of the matter is I really didn’t want the couch and loveseat when I purchased them, but I bowed to pressure from a friend to have “nicer furniture.”
Sometimes it is better to stay off by yourself.
The living room looks much better with the aquarium sitting where the old television was. The light on the aquarium will become our nightlight in there, meaning our electricity usage won’t go up any. We are in that room only to travel to the other section of the house, and so keep a light on to see…
I wonder: if I put the tv on freecycle and rearrange the living
