this evening, i decided to minimalize our living room. more on that in a separate post. during the minimalizing, i stumbled upon benefit #4.
as i was removing decorative items from shelves, i was suprised at the amount of dust that i found on the shelves (particularly the top shelves). clearly, the vast number of knick-knacks on the shelving made the proposition of dusting a daunting task. the less things in my living room, the easier it is to clean. that’s another reason why i’m becoming minimalist.

Definitely easier to clean! It has made pickup a cinch around here–can hardly wait to continue on the minimalist path!
One of my favorite parts of moving toward minimalist- less cleaning. Biggest challenge was heirloom guilt. My mother was quite upset when I gave her back things that were her great grandmothers. She couldn’t understand why I didn’t value them the way she does. I’m not going to do that to my kids.
