Simple Matters
Simple Matters: Living with Less and Ending Up with More | Erin Boyle
12 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
For anyone looking to declutter, organize, and simplify, author Erin Boyle shares practical guidance and personal insights on small-space living and conscious consumption. At once pragmatic and philosophical, Simple Matters is a nod to the growing consensus that living simply and purposefully is more sustainable not only for the environment, but for our own happiness and well-being, too. Boyle embraces the notion that "living small" is beneficial and accessible to us all whether we're renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house. Filled with personal essays, projects, and helpful advice on how to be inventive and resourceful in a tight space, Simple Matters shows that living simply is about making do with less and ending up with more: more free time, more time with loved ones, more savings, and more things of beauty.

My March #Bookspin wasn't spectacular. It didn't have much new information, but I'm happy that it wasn't a DNF, and it did remind me of why I continue to declutter and simplify my home and life. #COYER

I‘ve been reading Erin‘s blog for a couple years and finally purchased her book. Her writing about living with less is so well formed. She knows how to connect with her reader on a practical level while also allowing her romanticism to run free over the page. I‘m continually inspired by her efforts to live consciously and beautifully.

It‘s been a year since I read this last and I‘m moving again! Still going to be in the lovely Missoula, Montana, just moving in with my boyfriend. It‘s a new experience to be blending things and home choices but it‘s exciting. While he sleeps in, I‘m on our couch with a cup of coffee and this beauty.

I really enjoyed this book. The combination of personal stories, photographs and fresh ideas for living a simple life made sense to me. They drew me in and helped me look at my home in a different light. I feel inspired to try to live more simply myself. Learning that the author has a blog I can visit is icing on the cake. 💗

I love the cups that Erin Boyle recommends in this book! I had never heard of them before, and I think they're perfectly and classically beautiful. I was actually looking to purchase some glasses to replace the plastic tumblers we've used since my sons were born. Yay for author recommendations! 😂

The introduction was interesting. It grabbed my attention, which is more than I can say for a lot of books about living simply. We'll see if the rest of the book can keep up! :)

Suet624 Can't wait to see what you do with all those sewing/craft books 7y
slategreyskies @Suet624 I used part of this year's income tax return to purchase my very first sewing machine. I'm excited and a little nervous. I've never been able to sew, but I'm going to learn! 💗 7y
Suet624 I'm impressed. Have fun!! 7y

Sophie and I love this book. She's got too many cat toys and my jewelry collection alone can fill a small treasure chest - so we're always looking for inspiration to live a more minimalist lifestyle. Contained within these pages are very chic decor photos and practical, yet elegant advice and tips. #lifestyle #simplicity #minimalism #kitten

I've had this for a fair bit now and have read through it multiple times. It's back on my nightstand now as I plan a move into my own place in a new state (HI MONTANA!). Filled with reminders to buy consciously and carry only the things that you love, it's exactly what I need to build the home I want.
