I get it is asthetic taste, but I love whenever I move somewhere and I literally have nothing but white walls, bare floors, a desk, a bed, and a few drawers of clothes and necesssary accessories.
It feels very clean to me. I don't like cluttering up space for no reason than to occupy it.
As I said, it's all a matter of taste, but I love 'clutter'. As long as it's my clutter placed by me to my exact specifications (other peoples clutter is different matter all together). I find it really hard to concentrate or relax in a too sterile environment.
Same here. I especially like being surrounded by books. This is probably why I have WAY too many books in my apartment (it looks like the apartment of the book guy in that movie Unfaithful but more cluttered) and why I often go sit at the Barnes & Noble cafe to work, as opposed to going to, say, Starbucks or Panera Bread.
I'm a fan of e-books and definitely think they have their place (I've purchased a total of 3 Nook devices over the years), but I am not ready to wholesale walk away from dead-tree books either.
Same here. Plus, those of us that do move once in a while know that books weigh a ton.
When I helped my dad move, I think the boxes that had his books weighed more than his fridge ;-).
Pack boxes of 50% books and 50% clothing/computer parts/bedding/everything else to make the boxes lighter and get a good indication when you have enough books (i.e. when they really do make up 50% of the content of your boxes).
