Pretty simple


My tastes are simple. I like simple, but it has to have quality. A handful of quality items means more to me than owning loads of stuff of little quality. I learned that early on within my own family: quality over quantity. It cuts down on the clutter, too.


I like the Italian term: sprezzatura. It dates from the Renaissance, meaning something that looks simple, but has a lot of thought and work behind it.
