Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is pick up, straighten, de-clutter, organize, wash up, tidy etc. Lucky for me I do enjoy domestic work although I could live without folding laundry and cleaning the bathroom.
I have a morning housekeeping routine of making the bed, emptying the dishwasher and putting things away left out the night before. But sometimes I don’t get to those things and dishes pile up, beds are left rumpled and floors un-swept.
In a small house un-kept spaces can feel overwhelming. But with a home full of things that I absolutely love and that bring me joy I find even messes can be beautiful.
Definitely love this post and feel exactly the same about our small house. It’s really nice to see others “beautiful messes” and know we are not alone sometimes (maybe often) not being able to get it all done!!
Thanks for this! Too easy to forget how much fun we have making the messes. And truly we are not alone in this domestic struggle.
It’s nice to see others houses in (lovely ) disarray. I don’t feel quite the same about my home…which means I need to do some purging of things I don’t love and replace with things I do. Small houses can be a challenge…but I am grateful for our little home.
