Is it true that minimalism is nothing but really great closet space? Today's lead story is about the rapidly growing storage business and the quest for many people across the country to give an impression of a pared-down life. Are you seduced by the out-of-sight-out-of-mind aspect of renting storage space? Do you live small and store big?

Has anyone tried making those fantastic filled vinyl storage cubes? Know if they would be sturdy enough to use as stools in real life?

Soooo tempted to get a storage locker. I can declutter but getting other household members to let go is another story...

That living room is seriously gorgeous.

And why oh why was Dining by Design the same weekend as, like, A THOUSAND art shows?!?!?
