As I have said before, I dream of living in a tiny house. With that dream comes the idea that I would have to purge and get rid of a lot. And that makes me wonder....What things would I keep?
An obvious one would be clothes. I have paired down my closet so much but if I needed to, I could get rid of still more. I would hold onto my running clothes, jeans, shorts, and tshirts. For shoes, I would keep running shoes, a pair of flats, and flip flops. Throw in my swim suit and undergarments and we're done!
Now let's think bigger! Furniture. I have a reading chair I would keep, a bed of some sort, table, and chairs. Honestly, I don't think I 'need' much. Appliances. Fridge, stove, oven, small grill, blender, and a coffee pot. Definitely a coffee pot. Technology. I would keep my small tablet/laptop and my cellphone. But I don't know that I would even care about a TV or DVD player. I can stream movies on my laptop, and I don't watch much TV anymore.
Outdoor wise equipment. I love our hammock but I would minimize that to a bag hammock. Also I love my bike but I'm not sure it's a must-have. I like to run more than I like to bike.
When I look around my house and think about what I actually need, I realize that I need so little. I crave the freedom of owning less and having less to take care and less to clean and less to maintain.
What would you keep? What is a need for you? What is a must-have? How minimalist could you live?
