We downsized in to a townhouse but it didn’t work for us, so we upsized to a big house again. If I was on my own I’d love to have a small apartment or cottage. Lilibet, you have great style and are so calming and lovely. 🥰
Oh wow, what a journey! Sometimes we have don't know what works for us until we change something. I'm glad you found the right lifestyle for your needs. 😍
I think the improvements you've made to your new place have suited it and your new energy. Its fun to create a new vision for each new space. Thanks for sharing.
I love that your cat was your first non-negotiable, even though the piano is so important to you as you make a living from it. You definitely have your priorities in the right order!
Thank you for sharing. I moved from a 3000 square foot home to a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband. If we need to we can fit in a one bedroom and I prefer it be in the 750 square foot range. I would say if you are storing something that has a function and it is not doing it's function, then time to decide what to do with it. If it's dishes use them, if it is clothing, wear it. If all these functional things are sentimental then display them. If they are so precious, why are they in a storage box? Please know that when I downsized, there were some tears at times. For me the downsizing was in layers with the first attempt being the largest due to a move.
Hi Cindy. That's great advice about focusing on function and using your things and not saving them up for later. I can relate to your tears. Downsizing is emotional. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your new compact space. 😍
Hi Lilibet, I love your style and you have created a beautiful home. With all the recent improvements it has a real warmth and homeyness as well as practical functionality. I'm really excited that you will be sharing your decorating tips. I don't have much confidence when it comes to decorating and tend towards very simple and plain interiors as they feel spacious and relaxing to me, but I'm keen to learn how I could improve. As you know, we sold all our furniture before downsizing as it wouldn't fit or suit our new home. We are still shopping for furniture items and awaiting the delivery of others. Can't wait as the uncomfortable beds and chairs are doing our backs in. However, we are enjoying a new round coffee table from the same place you bought your dining chairs. They have such beautiful furniture. Congratulations on your new blog. It sounds very interesting so I look forward to following you there, too.
Thanks Rena! It's such an exciting time to be setting up your home and receiving new furniture. Plain and simple is a great starting place. And you can always add little touches of character over time. Glad you got the Icon coffee table. They have such beautiful things. 😍

I don’t love my toilet plunger, but I keep it.
Yes I think that one belongs in point 2, do I need it? 😀
