'As much as I desire that my house look perfect, I lack the innate talent needed to make it so.'
“Sorry for the mess,” I inevitably mumble to my feet when a visitor passes through my entryway door.state of my houseI finally have reached the point in my life that I could keep my belongings neat and orderly, if I lived alone. I like to hypothesize so, at least. I consider reaching such a hypothetical stage a hypothetical accomplishment, coming from a childhood where my parents sometimes referred to me as “super slob”. However, I will never know for certain, as I do not live alone.
Third, I have a not-so-secret love of toys, particularly LEGO. With help from spoiling grandparents, over the years, we have slowly accumulated a small children’s museum of things. Sometimes I nostalgically look back on photos from when my first was little and only, and the floor was wonderfully empty. But it didn’t last. As much as I wish I wasn’t, I’m a maximalist., with a living room/dining room that doubles as our playroom, and limited closet space.
Sometimes when I go to my most organized friends’ houses, I’m temporarily inspired to make my house look like theirs. When I return to my houseful of reminders why it doesn’t, my inspiration dissipates before I even try. And frankly, I’ve seen the effort it takes to make a house look like a Zgallerie or Pottery Barn magazine, and even if I could possibly accomplish the task with my domestic skill level, I ordinarily don’t find it worth it.
