Lately I try to minimize “stuff to hang on the wall and occasionally take down to admire”. It brings me little benefit with all sorts of strange hidden costs. But I tend towards clutter so that may just be in my case. And my wife is an artist, so I expect to have more objects-to-be-admired than I know what to do with, without spending money on some.
I’m near the end of a major decluttering phase, which has opened up a lot of room in my small apartment, and shows off my rather spartan walls.
Also, I made a list. That seems to be the primary precursor to buying lots of things: making a list, ranking and comparing items. It happened with a few of my previous projects, and I’m already halfway through the new list, though I managed to keep myself to the cheap and small stuff so far.
Does anyone else find weapons fascinating? Swords, guns, maces and axes?
I really want a set of fully functional weapons, as objects of art and power. Costly, though.
How much do other people spend on stuff they hang on the wall and occasionally take down to admire?
I’ve had this sort of impulse before.
