We all know about going green and using energy efficient appliances but how do we promote health benefits through use of our homes. Last week I blogged about downsizing and the benefits of doing so. Smart living has the same principals.

We could be in a large home or a smaller one, regardless keep these inspired quotes in mind. They provide a good starting point to smart living.

• 1 You know you have reached perfection of design not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

• 2 Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it. - Leonardo Da Vinci

• 3 The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less. - Socrates

• 4 Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. - William Morris

• 5 Live simply so that others may simply live. - Elizabeth Ann Seton
