Clearing Mind, Body, Spirit And Space


I want this blog to be a place where people can share ideas as well as find answers around clearing space, creating more space (especially in small spaces), and creating a more peaceful life. To have what you really want, you have to get rid of the clutter and most of the time the physical clutter is adding to the clutter in your mind. Below you can see tons of my before and after projects as well as low cost home design ideas.

Teddy's Before, During and After
