The stuff war

I love stuff. I spent about an hour last night just looking at sunburst mirrors online. The sunburst mirror itself deserves its own post. They manage to be vintage and modern at the same time. I think it's the radial symmetry. They make me think of Louis XIV and Versailles, but also Mid-century lounges and martinis. I would include a link to a good one from Westelm.com here, but as of this morning it is no longer available. But that's a good thing! As much as I love stuff, stuff is a burden. It takes up space, I trip over it, I have to dust it, I hate it! I want that sunburst mirror, but I want an uncluttered space more. Which is why I won't be buying this one on ebay either.

I am declaring war on stuff. As part of an extreme spring clean. I will rid my space of unnecessary objects, streamline my life, and unclutter my psyche. Promise.

always, carolyn

PS: I won't be buying this either, even though it would look awesome above our sofa
