My husband likes to keep everything, and I prefer minimalism. A home remodel helped us learn to declutter together.

I consider myself a pseudo-minimalist. I don't buy knickknacks when traveling, fill my home with extra furniture, or stock up on pantry, beauty, or toiletry supplies. I like having dresser drawers that close easily and bookshelves I can pull a novel from without four others toppling onto my head.
