Just Ten Things

With all the reno shows on today it seems everything from our hairstyle to our toenails to our bathroom needs to be redone, remodelled, smoothed, straightened and streamlined. But according to the magazines, newspaper sectionals and home and garden shows, in order to get less we must buy more, more, more. We must homogenize, sterilize and de-funkify ourselves.

Read on to see what a couple of trash bags and a human determined to de-clutter can do.
