The quote I was trying to clip:

It means consciously choosing to have fewer things, but knowing that what you will have will be high quality items that you truly cherish.

Great blog! I added you to my blogroll and I’ll be checking your site on a regular basis. Following up on one post …

Now … to the topic. Yes, Brad and his wife are following a trend away from the fancy dishes, crystal, etc. entertaining style of years ago.
But I do have to say I enjoy and use my fancy dishes. Every day. Even with a teen-ager (now college kid). Even when I’m serving pizza to her friends. Even when just husband and I are eating Hamburger Helper.
It’s one of the ways I’ve chosen to make our small home more beautiful.
Referring back to the original clip:

This blog has become one of my must-read blogs ever since I subscribed to it. It’s like to my environment what GTD is like for my mind: an essential way to get the clutter out of my life to lead a streamlined life and be more at peace.

You guys are doing a great job!

Reading your posts and this blog’s conversations have provided me with inspiration and support to continue living a Less is More lifestyle when everything else screams Buy-Own-Keep.

I have to second Riverjack’s assessment of the blog. It’s definitely a “must read” everyday. The whole concept of living simply has really made me think a lot about my life and the amount of stuff I have. I wish I had this frame of reference before my wife and I registered for our wedding! I would love a world without the breadmaker, 3 sets of every kitchen utensil, placesettings of china and glassware that have never been opened (we don’t even have a dining room anymore because we converted it into the kids’ playroom), etc. Life would be much better without all of the uneccesary overhead. That said, I am a gadget fiend so it’s difficult to control the amount of technology I own and use.

I absolutely love this blog and found it soon after it initially started. It is one of the few blogs I make sure to read every post from. Keep up the good work!

Another article that I found inspiring on the topic was over at diyplanner. I found it interesting how he used the writings of old to show that simplicity was a problem even for those living in "simpler" times. http://www.diyplanner.com/node/4611
