The Home as a Hobby

“Only a very exceptionally gifted mind could cope singly with all the problems which present themselves in the perfecting of a home.”

Arnold Bennett (Author; May 27th, 1867 to March 27th, 1931)

“I have not had a home I chose and had the urge to make mine. I was always battling with three other voices in the household. Now I rent so exploring this is limited. What I have done however is reduce “stuff” to essentials to live comfortably and more simply. I find this invigorating.”
