Inspired or just temporarily insane?

Inspired by Joshua Millburn’s post on the minimalists, I’ve decided to give myself a new project, or rather, I’ve finally gathered the courage to tackle a problem I’ve been postponing for some time. (Thank you Joshua for the inspiration to do so!)

In June last year, when I bought the old house I’ve renovated, I decided the house would embrace minimalism. We happily didn’t plan for a kitchen table or dining area, discarded the idea of a living room table in front of the sofa, planned to only keep a bed and a closet in the bedroom, and all those thing has worked out great. During the spring I had cluttered my kitchen and my living room, gotten rid of tons of paperwork and photos, old DVDs, CDs and even a large part of my books. We allowed for 3 bookshelves in the new house. Those would have to contain my books, the remaining paperwork, memorabilia and all our electronic gadgets. It looked like this (picture below) until a few weeks ago.

What happened then? I received my order from the book sale, and what do you know...
There’s not enough space for the new entries.



(Color-coordinated? Seriously? Sure, why not!? Tried by genre, but that just messed the bookshelves up into a kaleidoscope of colors and sizes)


So the new project is this: Clear those shelves up.
Pms should make that a walk in the park. Expect a post with the after picture shortly.

Sommaren 2011







Sommaren 2011, en händelsefull sommar. Tyvärr var jag för speedad av mina njurmediciner för att komma ihåg särskilt mycket av den. Men en del av resultatet av den sommaren omringar mig.
Jag köpte ett hus, oanandes om att min diagnos skulle komma dagen efter och medicineringen påbörjas genast. Trots den, eller kanske mer tack vare den, tog den invändiga renoveringen bara fyra månader. Go, go, go!!
