What?
I was surfing around on some blogs today and I ran across the term wabi-sabi on the Remodeling This Life blog.
Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature….It’s simple, slow, and uncluttered-and it reveres authenticity above all.
This is how I have always felt about my home and my garden. I like the imperfections of my furniture and my home decor. It's one of the main reasons I like antiques so much. Antiques and old-things in general are imperfect and thus they are more interesting to me. In the garden, I like the cottage-style of gardening which is very informal and NOT perfect.
Now I can say that I am wabi-sabi. Now you can go impress all your friends with your new word! (-:
