    I always enjoy going back and seeing the best of the best blog posts of the year. It’s certainly a time to look back and reflect before moving on. I see a few posts I want to go back and read, especially the one about getting rid of your TV.

    You have a beautiful home! I agree decluttering is something I want to do more of in 2018. I will start by selling things and then off to Goodwill it goes. Less clutter means more productivity I think!

      I think it helps a ton with mental load and being able to better focus. 🙂

    the decor is just exquisite ! I love the small detail/ finishing touches you’ve done. especially on the popcorn. 1 idea I am definitely stealing.

    your layout has given me inspiration for how to organise my space.

    I loved the piece on building an outdoor living room. We have recently purchased our first home together as a couple and have been shopping for all of the home accessories like mad. We are focusing on minimalism and a lot of open space. We have been making great progress in all of our areas except the back patio. It’s very small, but one of the prime selling features for our home. You see, it backs up into open space so it’s not the area inside of the screens that matters so much as getting access to the nature beyond.

    The one key essential is grilling, because nothing beats meat cooked over the fire. Then, we wanted some seating that was comfortable, functional, and somewhat weather (and bug) resistant. It was the bug aspect that had us abandon anything with pillows and the comfort aspect that had us looking at spring steel rockers. The center piece was going to be a table, but, our love of fire led us to a wonderful fire pit that could also function as a place to set drinks and food. Multi-purposing furniture usage was essential to get the most out of this small space.

    The rest…. We’ll see about that. As your advice goes – we’re bringing in the furniture first and then focusing on the rest.

      Ahh, it’s so good that you’re identifying the function of the space. Best of luck with it!
