Go For Love

Organization is not about perfection; it is about flow + simplicity.

There has been much hullabaloo lately about de-cluttering. It has become religion. And although I am a lover of order and its composition, I SWOON for feng shui. If you clear the clutter + strip your home down to its basics WITHOUT intention + love, it is an inflammatory endeavor. In feng shui, we create order through environmental metaphors. Of what we really, really, really desire. It is personal + original. And, it works.

Besides, playing with metaphors is serious fun.

The remarkable thing is when we identify purpose, passion ignites. We make external changes with high velocity. Which creates internal results. The kind that last.

I prefer simplicity for me + mine so I choose gorgeous explosions of color and minimal accessories for our spaces. However, I appreciate + adore the way others live, too. Because when you LOVE {not like} your stuff, it translates. Gloriously. I promise. And that's how we create genuine order in our spaces…and our lives.
