I generally am not a fan of stuff. It just feels as if I am borderline forced to constantly buy junk that I don't care about. and for what? We just keep buying stuff and all this stuff accumulates and I just want to Marie Kondo away most of my stuff Every now and then though, I find things that look like they just feel, good. What does that mean? Well, upon seeing it, it makes me imagine a life with them, maybe something I actually want to live with it. I want to come home to it, and use it day in and day out.

Don't you find that there is an incredible disconnect between our concept of how something we like actually fits into our life, when we see an image of it, have it described to us, feel the burning desire to own it, and the actual owning, or using of that product? It's like Plato's shadows on the cave wall.

Some stuff is worth it, especially things that last and are with us for a long time. Not junk though, there's too much suggesting that we'll be happy if only we had this [stuff] but of course that's not true. I like the framing that buying stuff is fine, but the focus should be on the experience it enables rather than just "owning" it. Active intentionality vs passive consumer signalling. I think that set would elevate the dining experience and if you take good care of it, it'll last ages. You probably get attached to it. In Japan (Marie kondo probably not one of those as much) some people believe that things you take care of and maintain well gain a soul of their own. So there's that.

Yes, good design should make life more beautiful -- and more manageable too :) Also, I hear you on Marie Kondo. I am craving a massive attack style decluttering lately.

I feel this in my soul. I loved moving and keeping apartments small so that I could always decrease and limit my *stuff* and yet I still accumulated. To me, it’s all about intent. Wanting *stuff* is an inherent survival drive. But the world is filled with easy to accumulate stuff and our innate drives allow acquisition of stuff to become unintentional and escapist. Surrounding yourself with beauty and practicing self expression through an intentional living space is a noble endeavor. I celebrate your good taste! Looks great!

This year I've had to enter the world of durable medical equipment (helping take care of my aging mother). Sit-to-stand recliners, adjustable beds, walkers. It's all pretty ugly, even the high end stuff, certainly none of it "sparks joy." Similarly, I imagine with kids there's a certain amount of stuff you just have to get.

I often give things away and attempt to acquire less new things. But I suppose there must be a hidden joy in stuff too, like enriched with memories
