benefit #4 – easier to clean

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.
