Our house is a very very very fine house

I just picked up this book at my local bookshop a couple of weeks ago and can't wait to read it. It's in defense of all of us who have "stuff"--call us maximalists, eccentrics, messy, but don't call us hoarders (that's something else totally different!)


 

Some of the images do border on hoarding, but I like how it takes into account a different aesthetic, one that is more forgiving for those of us with collections, children, animals, too much art, or all of the above.

And of course, the tagline on the back of the book is my new motto ;-)


Can't wait to read it. Afraid of adding another book to your own cluttered collection? Borrow it from your local library!

So true, Jason. Let's hear it for interesting collections and meaningful objects.

There's also the ongoing challenge, but a fun one, of curating your things are your interests and values evolve. But sometimes the choices are hard, i.e., hanging on to things for sentimental reasons vs. knowing when to move on.
