Through my childhood and into my teen years. I was a nick-nack fanatic. Wether it was 15 China dolls displayed on a shelf, seashells and rocks sitting on my dresser, pictures, random glass rabbits, or the little glass figurings that Rose Tea used to put in their tea boxes, I had it displayed proudly in my room.
Since I have gotten married, I have slowly stopped buying and displaying nick-nacks. There are a few main reasons for this.
First of all, the more trinkets displayed, the more chaotic everything seems. The eye has nowhere to rest. There is always something going on. I like my house to be peaceful.
Secondly, a nice neat nick-nack display can easily become a mess all over the floor. One knock of a shelf and you have disaster on your hands, especially if you have small children. Talk about chaotic.
Finally, stuff on a shelf makes more to clean and makes the cleaning time longer. Not only do you have to move everything off to dust the shelf. You have to dust every item on the shelf and then put the items back. Not only is this really annoying, it is a waste of time. As I mentioned in my one of my previous posts, time is important and shouldn’t be wasted.
Sometimes less is more. This is just another way we living a simpler life.
