Well said. One of my biggest issues in my home has been the fact that I've been a bit uncertain of what kind of style I like the best, but luckily I'm beginning to see what types of materials I'm drawn to the most, what colours, textures and so on. This has made it a lot easier to visualize what will fit and what could be donated - even though we're still living in a temporary home. My visual allows my present to be a future too, but that wasn't the case before when I was still searching. Realizing this has brought liberation with it.
Another thing that has changed is my relationship to gadgets; I'm highly attracted to them if they make my life easier and if they at the same time mean I can cut down on magazines, paper-war related ringbinders, and so on. My current gadgets finally match my idea of how I want my future to be run, once there are kids around (well, hopefully anyway).
@themusiclivez: I don't buy trinkets anymore, but while travelling I usually have more time to browse for nice clothes and accessories that might still be missing from a "complete" look. I believe djk is crazy about jewellery or that type of accessories anyway and I couldn't agree more. A basic set of clothing miraculously looks completely different depending on how you accessorize and so this has become my souvenir. Some of my nicest brooches are from Rome, London, Paris and Munich.
