Clean living. Clean lines.
Filed under Soul + That's Living
I really enjoyed this article about Jamie Lee Curtis. In particular I found myself resonating with this quote:
“The same way that midcentury modern architecture was in the ’50s, I want to be as a human being. New. Different. Challenging the old. Function over frivolity. Clean living. Clean lines.
If I can challenge old ideas about aging, I will feel more and more invigorated. I want to represent this new way.
Living in a 1951 midcentury modern home myself, I know that Butterfly and I were both drawn to the simple, clean expression the home would afford us. We constantly strive to reduce, simplify and engage with our home and in our lives in a way that expresses these qualities. Our choice in this matter isn’t a question of style or visual impact so much as it is the outward expression of our quest for greater personal freedom and yearning for a quiet, simple joy.

Ditto the thoughts of simplifying! One of the most invigorating things about our recent move back to the states is that we sold everything in our home except the little things that hold some meaning to us, and now we can find a home and start from nothing. Should be easy to keep it simple and clean. Hope to have a house to welcome you to by the Fall!
