so – I had this little crush on Matt Locke of Design Star – all season. I’m a sucker for a contagious smile. [yes..I know he’s not straight.] Anyway – I loved how in the last challenge – he bonded with the homeowner when she wanted the design to be minimal. “I’m sorry, did you say MINIMALISTIC??????”, Matt asked…not able to be any more enthusiastic than he was that moment. Loved it. And the dining room. I want it. The table with the white chairs, the red walls, the striking light fixture. Of course, it would help if I had a dining room! {Yep – the episode aired over a week ago but I saw it again last night with family members who hadn’t seen it yet.}
My sister in law and I are both minimalists…and so, apparently, is my one and only niece (age three) who takes after her mother and aunt. I brought her a little pink pocketbook, er, purse, and she promptly informed me that she “already HAS a pink purse”. I asked if she’d like to keep it; she thought about it and then slowly nodded her head in agreement – obviously going against her minimalistic tendencies.
[This is the same niece who comes from an e-bay purchasing/selling family – thus when she plays store with a toy cash register, she doesn’t take every item you bring to her to purchase. She’ll choose an item and declare, “This is going on ebay!” while setting the item aside.]
