I own 57 pieces of clothes and 11 shoes + underwear

If I buy one piece, two have to go.

This part of the room used to have two additional armchairs, an additional side table, a larger couch, more throw pillows, and almost floor to ceiling bookshelves stuffed with books and knickknacks along that whole back wall. It felt cramped, and the bookshelves started feeling oppressive. Now the room feels spacious and peaceful. I love it, and I don’t regret getting rid of a single thing.

I need a clean desk to be productive.

This is the extent of our decorating this year. The tree and the small stockings. We’re sticking to just a couple presents each - things we tell each other we’ve been wanting, so we don’t end up with gifts we don’t really need and feel guilty about eventually getting rid of. Do you decorate at all for the holidays? Or exchange gifts with your partner? Would love to see pics of other people’s minimal decorations!
