As I grow older, I find my needs and wants decreasing. In fact, many of them have disappeared. I need food and shelter, but I don't need fancy food or an extravagant dwelling place. Simple foods eaten in a humble home are sufficient for me.
Furnishings can be simple and functional, too. I have a wonderful leather sofa and a couple of comfortable occasional chairs. I don't need a Baldwin baby grand sitting in the corner. I can't play anyway!
I have a four-board farmhouse table and six ladder-back chairs to go with it. You can keep your Duncan Phyfe dining room furniture.
Simple, functional, easy to care for - that's my heart's desire. What's yours?
