Simplicity.

I've always had a lot of stuff, and looking around my home, at times I get so annoyed with everything I own. I think the solution is to stop buying much, use what I have, and find good storage techniques.

But I just came across these photos of my apartment in Chiang Mai, Thailand. When I moved in there I just had a back pack I'd hauled around for 7 weeks, but as I lived there I accumulated much, much more stuff. Looking at these is an inspiration for simplicity, and I love how uncluttered my little studio apartment was.
Apparently my color scheme has come back to these colors, since the quilt I just made matches my bed here perfectly. Funny how that works out ...

i wish i could keep my room that clean. it looks so comfortable and easy to relax in.

can i have the address of that studio in chiang mai so that i may visit and see if the current tenants kept your living space as you left it and if so, ascertain whether or not they'll let me stay for a while?

HUH??!!

I assure you my current bedroom is not nearly so clean, too much clothing between the two of us!

Address requested:
Boonyamas Mansion Rm 409
12 Nimmanhaemin Rd.
Soi 15, Chaing Mai 50200

It's a big apartment building so I bet there are lots of open apartments, should you be in the vicinity. That is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, really.
