Adventures in Minimalism Part I

Over the break, I went to a friend's apartment and was impressed with how put together her apartment looked without having very much "stuff".  Since I moved in, I have been adding and adding with not enough editing, so Daniel and I took the opportunity to rearrange a little when we took our Christmas tree down last night.  This is what we came up with.  I don't know if it qualifies as minimalism but there is definitely less clutter.

Oh...and I can't help giving you a 'before and after'.

BEFORE

AFTER

Haha...it ended up being a poor before picture so you can't tell that much, but moving the piano and taking away a lot of the decorative items is where the real difference is.
