this goes for both of us.

cases in point: 

1. for people who adore art, we never have any decorations on our walls. our rooms contain only what we absolutely need; everything else stays in boxes (your case) or is thrown out (my case)
2. unfortunately for me, this rule extends to the wardrobe department.  too lazy to go shopping --> "I believe in having only a few basic pieces that you can wear with anything." (lies and excuses)
3. I'm too lazy to continue this list, so it shall be a minimalist.
