[...] of a new year, a new hand at simplifying, I find inspiration to pare down from the poster “Everything I Have.” It really is kind of eye-opening when you have it all laid out right there in one place, [...]

This is so freaky, yet amazing. Everyone should do this, me first, to see how happy or unhappy we are with all the stuff we surround ourselves with. I am known for having too much stuff (clothes and things things things, all kind of things). When we moved to a new house some years ago, I had the same number of boxes as all the other 3 members of my family together. Although tossing and sorting out and donating, it somehow keeps getting back to me. I am a sentimental cancer, so you can imagine I would probably need 7 days, 7 photographers and 7 sheets of A0 paper to document everything :(((

I really wish there was a higher resolution of this so I could read all of the descriptions and see what all you have. I have cataloged everything I have in text but have not done the photographs yet. Did you take the pictures on like a white background and then minimize them in photoshop so you could print them out and put them on this poster?

There was a time in my life when just about everything my husband and I owned fit in the 14-foot camping trailer we lived in.

Looking at this poster and thinking about all of our current possessions (and subsequent confinement) sure makes me miss that time. . .

I love that Simon Evans poster; this is totally something I'd do. Then I'd be all shocked at how much stuff I have and go all feng shui on my wardrobe. Then I'd do it again and compare the before and after. Then I'd get all depressed about the clothes and shoes and bags and books and knick-knacks I got rid of and have to go shopping. And the cycle would begin again.

So. Huh. Maybe I shouldn't do this, actually. Save myself a ton of crazy.

thats amazing, i really want to do that, too!!! but maybe get rid of a bunch of stuff first (which would probably be a good incentive!)

I would never do this. A complete and utter waste of time. Someone so creative as this should channel their energies into something that betters humanity. Truly. WTF!

Oh, there was a simple time in my life when I could have done this easily, but the kids and husband are worth the extra "stuff" that would now make it impossible! (Not to say we couldn't pair down.)

I love it…but I would need a MUCH larger poster…I think any girl would just because of shoes if nothing else :-)

Brilliant way to contain life!! (I'd have to make my poster OED style, though, with an accompanying magnifying glass)

It looks amazing! Wouldn't it be fascinating if someone did it repeatedly, over a course of time? Like every 15 years…to see how what you own changes with who you are over time. It would take boat loads of dedication, though. Love the idea.

Mrs. Lexi - me too! The whole idea instantly makes me realize how. much. stuff. I own.

Susan - Yes!

Lynn - I agree. Among the American population, I wonder if only a youngish bachelor could fit all his belongings on one poster.

Handmade Charlotte - Can you even imagine? Our books alone would be several posters. And our pantry...

Hanna - I haven't read much about his intentions when he created the piece, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least partly an effort to get people to own less. It had the same effect on me.

Erin - That would be a dream!

Autumn - So glad you like The Violet Hours. It's written by one of the writers at Parents Magazine.
