I have found the secret to having the perfect home – always ready for company – even the grandmother visiting or boss’s boss coming to dinner kind of company. Are you ready? Just stop bringing things into the house.

That’s it.

No other tricks.

Go out for dinner. Every night.

Dry clean everything. No laundry to fold, not a laundry basket to be found let alone needed.

Read books at the books store, while drinking hand crafted, steaming cups of coffee topped with whipped cream and dusted with cocoa.

You can’t bring a single new thing into the house, after you move in…just stop wondering how to do it and voila. House Beautiful cover photos will be scheduled soon.
