The excerpt below is from a wonderful Blog by Carrie and Danielle. It totally ties into my love for chairs and also the spiritual aspect of surrounding yourself in your homes with things that you love. Carrie and Danielle are also authors of the best selling book: Style Statement: Live by your own Design
Here�s a radical notion: what if you really liked, even outright adored every material thing in your own life? What if the quality, shape, color, function, and feel of the things you owned gave you satisfaction, pride, and delight?
Enter, The Divine Law of The Great Chair.
When you let go of things you don�t love, you create space for things that you do love to show up. EVEN IF: it�s �useful�, it�s filling an �empty� place, it was a gift, it was inherited, expensive, imported, exotic, or you truly loved it once upon a time -� if you don�t like something in your space, it�s dragging you down. This isn�t about old, or new, or what you can afford � this is about how STUFF makes you FEEL.
THIS WEEK: Identify the �old chair(s)� in your life that you�re making do with, and get rid of it. You may have to sit on floor cushions for while, but you�ll be dwelling in possibility � instead of compromise and regret.
