Earlier this year, we shared Ronni’s inspirational post about how her family of 4 thrives in a 700 square foot home.
She e-mailed in today to say that she was inspired to do a makeover on her small living space. I loved her positive attitude and motivation! Here’s what she said:
I’m Ronni and a few months ago, you featured a blog post of mine about living in a small home. I got quite a few Facebook comments about my small home being too cluttered. Instead of letting it upset me, it actually inspired me to find new ways to organize and declutter at the same time! I ended up completely re-doing my living room/front entry/desk area. I’m so glad I was given this kick-in-the-pants to make this change!
You can go here to see her newly redone living room area in her 700 square foot home.
Thanks for sharing, Ronni!

I love that look, I’m working hard towards that myself. I just read a book, Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism and it gave me many insightful tips on achieving my goal of simplifying in a practical way. Thank you so much for sharing what you’ve accomplished!!

This is why I worry about sharing pictures. Our house looks cluttered because we’re a family of 6 living in about 900 square feet. We’re working all the time to get rid of excess but what we do need takes up a lot of space.
We’re hoping to move within the next year, so I try not to worry about it.

I think it looked good the other way. People are so critical now. Anyway, I think your improvements look great too. Kudos for doing such wonderful things with a small space. It’s very homey and inviting.

What a great example Ronni is. Not only has she bucked the trend of living to excess, but she has also kept the size and content of her home manageable. More importantly, Ronni took some lemony comments and turned them into the lemonade of an attractive, organized space. What a lesson for us all.

Aw, thanks so much Terri; that was really sweet. 🙂
