Minimalist living examples

I cant claim that my home is completely minimalist, but it surely isnt cluttered, and most people I know would call it a pretty minimalist home. One recent visitor saw my kitchen and remarked, Ive never seen a kitchen that looked so clean, so clear of stuff! Well, I do my best to keep it clean, but the key is to remove the unnecessary stuff. For example, on the floor of my kitchen/dining room area are just a few essentials: dining table (clear of any clutter), chairs, some counter stools, a high chair, a step stool for the kids. On the counters are only the toaster, coffee maker and microwave. Is this kind of minimalist home devoid of character and fun and life? Some might think so, but I get a strange satisfaction, a fulfillment, at looking around and seeing a home free of clutter. Its calming, and liberating, and just nice. Benefits of a Minimalist Home
