As a retired library worker, thanks for plugging the library. Many people don't know what an amazing resource it is. Plus, the staff are very willing to help!
I love our little library! We can get books and movies not there through the library system.
I love my library 🎉..it's awesome..has a great atmosphere and workers are so friendly and helpful..you can't find something? They find it for you..if the library doesn't have it, they will find it fro another library for you!
Love libraries! Ex librarian here.😊
I love books my dream job was to work in library when in college I vol work at library
I decided to declutter my home. I filled up 5 heavy duty black bags with kitchen, decor, and clothing items that I did not use. I took the bags to Goodwill, and it feels so good to get rid of good items that someone else can use. I used to make garage sales, but inTexas it is so hot and humid. It is frustrating to do a garage sale. Nevertheless, I love the feeling of free clutter. I am not finished. I started another big hefty black bag. 😊☕️
Keep going. You are doing great. X
Yeah, ive only done 1 garage sale in my life w/ daughter & it was a neighborhood one, where the advertising & licensing, etc was taken care of. It was actually quite fun & i sold the main things that i wanted to of my stuff. But i just don't have much for a good garage sale. Gave away most everything when i downsized from 4 bedrm to studio.
Please donate to a domestic violence shelter or homeless shelter. They are so grateful and you declutter
That must feel great! Well done
What I like is when you drop things off then don't remember what the items were a month later, telling you they were not needed in the 1st place.
I’ve been watching old Hoarders episodes lately. If that doesn’t make you get rid of things and clean your house, I don’t know what would.😂
Ha - I do the same!
Me too!
I think one of the reasons people end up with a lot of stuff is they don't know if/when they'll have the money to replace something so they keep extra on hand. That's much less of an issue when you have plenty of money and you're comfortable in the knowledge that you can replace items as needed and cover any emergencies that might come up. Also, some people are concerned about supply chain issues so they store several months' worth of items at a time.
While I have money to replace things the whole point is to get rid of things and NOT replace them.
@@PrepperPrincess I meant replace when something wears out or breaks, like the coffee maker carafe, for example.
I ended up with so much stuff because my parents died and I got everything, and my husband was a hoarder.
I had 5 bookcases pretty packed. I donated some to the library book sale but most i put in our little neighborhood free library cases. I have 1 shelf, not completely full of books i cant quite let go of yet, and the bottom shelf with several oversized Artists books. I gave the 4 bookcases away. It was wonderful to share all those books. 😊
Yes! I am a librarian and the library is the best!❤
You can donate old sheets and towels to an animal shelter. They are always in need!
Hi there you've a gorgeous picture on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi! I hope you're having a great day 🤗
Good idea
Please donate blankets and towels to your local animal shelter 🙏.
My favorite minimalist quotes are “we buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like” and “just because you use it doesn’t mean you need to keep it”
Being a minimalist is the best!
I have been one for 5+ yrs.
I refuse to keep track of so much “inventory”!
I kept my cast iron. 2 fry pans, 1 cake/ casserole pan, 2 Dutch ovens as I make my own bread. We are a family of 4. Two teenage girls. We are all minimalists. We have a 10 item capsule wardrobe.
We now enjoy life instead of cleaning around the clutter way back in the day!
Happy you joined the Minimalists!
I love the idea of the library as a free storage place for my books.
Agree
Most libraries will not accept donations of books for the library collection. Some libraries have book sales, and accept them to sell, and use the funds to buy materials that are needed.
After cleaning out my mother's home when she passed away, I have no problem getting rid of my "stuff." I don't want my daughter to go through that nightmare.
I've never heard one pepper mention the salty taste of the freeze dry foods. Thank you.
I don't even consider them to be edible.
I moved my dressers into my closet! It was a great solution for me.
Love your square plates! I remember Mom saying that plates should be square instead of round because round wastes cupboard space! (Mom was definitely ahead of her time).
I have considered myself a prepper for a while. Preppers preach stack it to the roof. I am so tired of that mentality. I feel like u gave me permission to declutter my stuff. I started with the towels. Wash cloths, kitchen utensils, my bathroom cabinets all of them and the drawers. I still have more to go. In the back of my head I am second guessing myself. What if I need something I got rid of. But being able to use what I have is very nice. To open a cabinet and it is not packed is freeing in my brain. Thank you.
Packing it to the rafters does not work. Just learn to fish and forage and you will not starve
I agree, i make my own foam hand soap by using 10% dawn and 90% water! Once i had enough pumps, i didn't need to buy anymore soap ! I use dawn and sometime put some essential for scent. Still have a lo g way to go, but I'm working at it!
I learned back in 1970,that you must plan ahead for hard times. We raised our 2 children this way as well.
From frugal “Prepper Princess” to “Minimalist” makes sense to me. Btw, I like the DVD’s you still have. I do have to object to your comment about books. Everyone that I entertain are always terribly impressed with my book collection and believe I’m some freaking relative of Einstein. 🤓 And btw I am. Well sorta. I’m human. 🤓 Keep up the good work btw❗️
I enjoyed looking at books my grandma had they were always super interesting. I don’t think she owned a tv but you were never bored at her house
I set up a little free library in my neighborhood. It’s even more fun to go on walks now so I can check it out. Neighbors love it, too.
I was born a minimalist. I have always loved getting rid of stuff. Everything must be practical, functional, essential, and low maintenance. My home is extremely tidy and organized. Dishes and laundry are always done. But I HATE to clean. I do not want to spend my life scrubbing away. So my windows are cloudy, fridge, stove, fixtures aren't gleaming, kinda dusty here and there. Couple pieces furniture get wiped with a damp washcloth that then wipes out the sinks then goes into the washing machine. I hate dusting, so I have no coffee table and no dressers. Every piece of clothing is on a hangar. I have a hanging 5 shelf cloth thing that holds socks and underwear. I am not artistic so don't have many decorations. No longer have fussy husband, and kids have their own homes. Living on my own terms!
Minimalist here. Have to tell you the you shared about the Mint cellular phone, I made a HUGE annual saving, thank you Preppier Princess.
I stock my pantry with different kinds of bulk rice, beans, lentils, and pasta. You can make a lot of meals with different varieties of all these dry foods.
I used to work at a book warehouse, in the returns department. Every so often, they would allow us to just help ourselves to bins filled with books which had a black marker across the bottom pages of the book. That indicated that they would be sold at a discount. I worked there for three years, before they moved, and I gleaned hundreds of books, which I loved. But then at one point, I realized that I had to unload most of them. I did donate to local libraries; because they have a yearly "sale" for people to come and browse and get books for practically nothing. I now have a book collection that looks similar to yours! I am a total bookworm, but after I read something I now donate it. They can become a burden.
Sentimental stuff is the HARDEST! I am trying but with various levels of success.
I found taking pictures of items allows me to part with some items
Clutter takes up emotional space in your head everytime you think or see the stuff you don't want or need to do something about and you haven't IT STRESSES YOU OUT!end it!
Happy birthday 🎉. Today is also my BDay. I don't sell any of my items that I declutter. Due to a tornado I've had to empty a two bedroom two bath two living area with kitchenette/dining including ALL kitchen items/appliances . I gave EVERYTHING to the Humane Society. Hardest being the Amish furniture that I got 40 years ago and I'm fixing to give up a complete bedrooms worth of furniture that is made of entirely PLUM. My best friend old enough to be my mother sold me this furniture when she was moving into assisted living, it was purchased before I was even born. I'm blessed to live at a lake, I have secondary progressive MS so all of my skis pull behinds, Ski-Doos are all gone now again to MS. I reap rewards from declutter but I also reap rewards from paying it forward.
You have the memories of the dresser. Giving it to someone who needs it is an act of generosity that honors the relatives who owned it before you.
One question - did you hold onto your bread machine? Are you still making your own bread? Also, I've been on the same downsizing journey this year. I parted with heirlooms. My parents and siblings are all gone now, the last one having passed a few months ago. I've kept a few small things, but 85% of the heirlooms were either sold or passed on to more distant relatives. I shed a few tears, but I'm not going to live forever, and I have no kids to pass them to (my niece and nephews didn't want them, either!). Now, I try to do acts of kindness in my family's memory rather than burden my apartment with things I was keeping out of a sense of duty. I also brought some of the older, antique heirlooms to our county museum where my family originated. I thought that was also a good way to honor my family. I enjoyed the things while I had them, but it's time for me to let go of most of it. I'm beginning to realize a greater sense of peace and less stress due to trying to manage a small apartment with way too much stuff. It's helping me to more easily concentrate on my new frugal lifestyle. I think my family would be in favor of that.
I stopped making my own bread. I can't eat a full loaf in a couple of days before it goes bad.
@@PrepperPrincess I freeze my home made bread. Make 2 loaves and freeze one. But there are 2 of us.
I use baking soda, vinegar, Castile soap for cleaning. Vinegar and baking soda are amazing. I wish I had known about them when I was younger and stayed away from all the toxic chemicals they sell us.
Often people get rid of valuable things so you can get great deals at thrift and garage sales. So just because they had 20 dollars on that piece of furniture doesn't mean it is not worth more.
The bowl/plates are called Pasta bowls. 😊
Animal rescues ALWAYS need towels and some take blankets
I've started decluttering. It's embarrassing how much stuff I've accumulated
Favorite Tip: Stock your pantry with what you WILL eat!! Thank you for saying that!! Made this mistake once on items I thought I’d use if SHTF…not repeating this mistake!
I'm in my decluttering era trying to get closer to minimalism I enjoy the organization, less mess less stress is how I see it
On your family heirloom furniture, my advice is take some pictures of it and "store it" in someone else's house.
I just got rid of my parent's desk which was one of their first pieces of furniture they bought but I rarely used it in the 20+ years I had it. There was allot of emotion attachment to it so I asked my brother and my nieces and nephews if they wanted it, nope. I then asked my parents if they wanted it...nope. This taught me the emotional attachment was just in my mind.
I gave it to someone (stranger) who could use it, no regrets other than not doing it sooner.
Lol…when you started with the silverware drawer. When my son was nine, my mom told him that she would come visit him. He told her BYOB. She was surprised, until he explained it meant,”Bring your own bowl.” Because he would only have one for himself. Now he’s 32, and he pretty much stuck with that.
Mama B here. You are just too cool. Watching you for years. I’m an old bird , a minimalist, scratch cooker, frugal, super saver, make my own clothes, live as if we’d like the earth to still be livable for the next many generations. So happy you have kept up the fight for the earth and the people on it and that you continue to educate everyday. Look forward to your next video. You give me hope for your generation. I admire your chutzpah and drive!
Doggone it! Im fixin to be minimalist....RIGHT NOW!🎉🥰
😭😭😭😭 I love my clothing. I buy mostly secondhand stuff, dresses, shorts, shirts, tshirts, cute tops. Legging pants I buy new,. And, I pretty much wear all of it!!
My niece repurposed a family buffet as her TV stand. I have been cleaning out and taking lots of stuff to the thrift store. It really feels freeing to not have all the stuff!
I won’t go into the reason I am becoming a minimalist but it has given me a surprise that I have unloaded so much so quickly! There will always be things I can’t part with and I don’t mind at least not everything! And it really does make me feel calmer! Am now continuing on with my minimalism!
I’ve started doing the water down Dawn since you talked about it in another video...it still suds up just the same.
💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
I prepped everything that my family would eat or need medical wise... "Stack it to the rafters" they said "Food shortages" they said..... WELL now we are eating it down and not bothered by the inflation. Saving a lot of money. As for other household items, I sized down, decluttered, selling and gifting all I could to buy a solar capable camper.
I’m so happy the puppies are warming up to each other! Pretty soon Nala will be running that house 🐕
Wow, so glad you mentioned photos! I would not have thought of that. I have photo albums in a bookshelf case with pictures of friends back from high school and I'm almost 50 years old now and don't see any of them anymore because we all kind of went our separate ways. Why in the world do I still have those LOL Time to declutter.
You did a good job of redecorating the bedroom. Everything looks neat and clean.
I became a minimalist back in 2005. Wasn't by accident it was on purpose cuz I wanted to feel free.
Team up with friends and exchange your books.
Whoa! LOTS of orbs in this one. Especially around the DVD collection.
A hundred and sixty dollars a month on clothing??? I doubt if I’ve spent that much in the last five years! I buy what I like, I wear what I buy, and I wear it until it practically falls off of me. Seriously! The majority of my wardrobe I have had for twenty years or more. Thankfully, my style is mostly classic and traditional, so nothing looks out of style. Plus, I am usually the best-dressed in any room I happen to be in.
I agree people overuse products for cleaning its not necessary to use so many different chemicals for different parts of your house
Due to water damage in my home, I have to be out of my home for up to 3 weeks. As I am trying to figure out what to pack for the short-term storage and the hotel stay, I am realizing I am not going to need to take a lot of stuff with me…so why am I packing it up for storage??? Time to go through the clothes and personal items. I can get rid of so much! This whole nightmare has turned into a good thing…less stuff, a new bathroom and new floors! Off to find boxes & trash bags (for clothing).
If everyone would declutter and give the items for free, no one would need to buy stuff anymore 😂
I haven't spent $160 on clothes in the last 5 years total.
We downsized 6 years ago from 3000 square feet to 1200 and I got rid of everything we didn’t use. When my husband retired that house was just to small with us and three large dogs so we went to a 2000 square feet. Everything fit so perfectly and I continue to giveaway things. Clothes are the hardest thing for me but I have 2 small closets in the master so it keeps me at a limit. I do clean out the Closet on a regular basis.
I only shop at Goodwill, Ross and Walmart.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️love your videos.
I got rid of my 300+ cd collection and cd player 3 years ago .........much easier to listen to music online now. Scanned all the old family photos (was very time consuming though) and they are now stored in the cloud & on a usb stick. I've now put the tv on the wall, got rid of the tv unit and all the clutter that was in the two cupboards. Still debating whether to get rid of the desk 🤣 Good quality old furniture is great for those starting out in their first home..... they upcycle to whatever colour they want & put new handles on etc. The older furniture is always far better quality than a lot of the furniture that we can buy in the stores today.
I love your channel. Love from Italy ♥️
I spend money like crazy when I was young now I live a frugal life your channel help me a lot you are a wonderful teacher
I also donated books to waiting areas at several hospitals. The VA near me actually takes books around on a cart and offers them for free to people in the waiting rooms and hospitalized
As I get older I download as much as I can, cuts down workload and cleaning as gives one more time for other things. Need to also go through papers and get rid of ones dont need, saves heaps of space.
@@Jenifer_G I need papers gone as well!! Copied of old Rxs for each month... Thank you for all the great information PP. Love you, Rocky & Nala!! 🙏🏻💞🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️🩹
When I finish a magazine or book, I carry it with me to the next appointment and leave it in the waiting room, nail or hair salon, car service area, or airport, or lobby of hotel or condo etc.
I had a one-man house cleaning business over 20 years ago, and, even though I no longer do that for a living, I still like a clean, tidy home. And I too usually only clean with nothing more than basic dish soap.
In the kitchen I just put a few drops into some hot water to clean counters, stove, and cabinets.
Same in bathroom. Put some hot water in the bathroom sink with a bit of dish soap to clean entire bathroom. Including, yes, the mirror too. (Hint...professional window cleaners do NOT clean windows with Windex. They clean them with dish soap and water.) Dish soap also does just great for keeping the toilet bowl clean.
I use Ivory dish soap because, unlike many dish soaps, it does NOT contain chelating-agents, which will damage granite countertops.
I can also very much relate to having just a few plates, forks, etc.
I literally get mentally stressed when surrounded and encumbered by too much bric-a-brac. Minimalism is an absolute requirement for my mental well-being and sense of peace.
I did a massive declutter two years ago when we moved house. I sold or gave away approximately 50 per cent of our possessions and we're now quite minimalistic. I got rid of books, clothes, crockery, ornaments, bed sheets and some handbags. I spend a lot less time doing housework now because everywhere is so easy to keep clean and tidy. I no longer shop like I used to, (Charity shops), and I feel so much happier.
Great job on the minimalism! It totally makes life easier, and you have more time to live, instead of maintaining, organizing, cleaning, and storing a bunch of non-essential items. Bravo!
You are so right! We don't need 15 different cleaning products 😮
Your flower canvas is so pretty!
Thanks, I took that picture and had it put on canvas.
I have always Loved the library. When I have had to move in the past, the first thing I do after moving in is get a library card - even before changing my driver’s license. I also use the Free Little Libraries in my neighborhood. Once I finish a book, I trade it for a new one. Great video!
I love the minimalist content, keep it coming!
You did such a beautiful job on that bedroom... it exudes cozy minimalism...LOVE it.
I decluttered 14 bags of clothes and made about 4k dollars
Wow well done
You encourage me. I’m getting rid of stuff as I watch. Keep these videos coming. I need the push!
I love it! I think we will all have to become minimalists in the future. Nate Hagens calls it the Great Simplification.
My husband and I have been going the rounds of me and my 'stuff' for a good while now. YOU have just won me over to his side. Well, to be honest, I already was there. But this video has just helped me overcome my problem: OVERWHELM. Listening to you got my brain started on how to 'get over it' and move out the 'stuff' and move forward. Thanks so much for sharing your minimalist journey.
I keep 4 plates and 4 bowls for two people. We don't entertain so there was no need for extra dishes. My big problem is the books. I have a large two-story house with plenty of storage so it's easy for collections to get out of hand. I'm presently working on weeding out the books to a manageable number and taking the ones I don't want to the local library.
Library tosses books
Donate to nursing homes
Vinegar is also good to use instead of fabric softener. And just 2 tablespoons of detergent is enough. Too much soap leaves a residue on your clothes making them smell funky, also messes up your washing machine.
I love watching your videos. You inspire me to be the best me I can be. Please keep doing what you're doing. You have helped me so much I love Rocky too. I love the way you love him. I'm so glad your power is back on. I look forward to more videos
Love the bedroom style.. it's a nice, restful vibe.
On clothing.. being retired.. and since Covid, I have only bought a winter coat at Costco. I wear shorts & tea shirts... even in Winter. I love staying home. I only go grocery shopping. Basically.. Covid has saved me quite a bit of money.
Thank you very much for the Library tip. I had no idea. I don't want to throw them away. People could take advantage from them and I could always go back to them if I want to. You have no idea of the relief I will have when I do that. Thank you.
That white vinegar is ideal to use on windows and mirror surfaces! Your bedroom makeover is beautifull; minimalist yet cozy.
I totally agree... stock only what you will eat on a regular basis and rotate, You should have at least a years worth of food in case of any emergency. I would never buy the freeze dried prep they sell. There are alot of foods out there that store for a long time that are actually good and nutritious. Good to go back to the old fashioned basics with canning, drying. Just like Little House on the Prairie days
I’m actually working on my photos like you said. I do a lot of family history and I have some photos from the 1800s that are really important to me. But most of my family could care less. Finally I have a 17-year-old granddaughter who is an old soul. She is so fascinated by my pictures and Genealogy that I have been motivated to clean up my stuff and put it in an organized fashion for her. I scan things that are really important anyway and she wants the paper photos to make her own albums so that’s what I’m doing to declutter my photos. I’d have to say that I’m super excited that there’s actually someone that has an interest that can pass along family to the next generation.
Most assisted living facilities would love to have donated books for the residents ..
We Americans have way too much stuff! I'm in my 70s and recently retired. Trying to declutter my "stuff". Hundreds of books, tapes, dvds, cds, kitchen gadgets, etc. What a waste of money plus try I ng to "manage" all the stuff. It will take me a year to go through everything and getting rid of most of it. I want a nice clean simple home and lifestyle. I envy you for being smart at a young age. Hopefully one day soon I will be smart too (at a much older age).
I decluttered my home when I became chronically ill,had friends help and took stuff to charity. Its easier to maintain,looks cleaner as well.
My biggest vice is clothing and footwear. In high school I hit 5'10" and was super skinny and shoe size was 10.5. I'm 62 now and back in the 70s there were no women's shoes over size 10 without online ordering (or had to buy mens sneakers)and all pants and shirt/jacket sleeves were short. So, when I find anything that fits now I buy many multiples ! Hard to get out of that mindset. I pretty much have enough clothes now to last me for many years!
That's alright. I'd never make it on just a couple pairs of pants or tops. Too many situations of stains, spots, wear, etc. It's good to have a few extra items. As an older
person I know that times can change: you might not have money for a new pair if one of the three pair you own gets destroyed. There can be shortages, lack of inventory
in your size (as you know!), civil unrest, rationing, etc. I don't understand minimalists who actually get rid of clothes that fit and they already paid money for. When one
item wears out, go the the extra stash, and don't buy anything new.
When my grandfather died my mom, sister and I saved sooo many things from furniture to jewelry. Much of it stayed in storage while we lived our lives and bought things that matched our style. In the last few years I've realized my sister and I are the last ones to remember my grandparents and our kids will have no attachment to all those things and will just see it as stuff they have to get rid of when we're gone. With that thinking, after clearing it with my sis, I got rid of most of those keepsakes, trusting someone who needs them will get use out of them and freeing me of the responsibility of them. As for family photos, I've given those to my adult daughter already.
love the longer videos, and the ones of your home. You should do a video of how you stay motivated to keep up with house cleaning and routines in general.
Hi, loving the videos. I hear in the UK where I live that the number of animals going into shelters is way up due to the financial crisis. I would love to see a video on feeding and caring for dogs as cheaply as possible. I know you are a real pet lover and would hate to think that people are having to give up pets, so all tips welcome ( I am never, ever giving up my dog, but I am looking to save where possible without compromising her comfort and health).
That would be very helpful as well, I believe PP!!❤
It doesn’t matter how people become minimalists…the blessings it brings are life changing. Removal of clutter will bring peace of mind, and your wallet will thank you 👍🏽😁
I need to start decluttering again. Life is in turmoil at the moment. Job hunting, need new roof, etc. Tons of stress. Love what you've done PP.
One thing at a time. Job first, then save up for roof, then save up for etc.
Call me crazy, but I see this as being just as addicting as becoming a hoarder in that both have a goal. I relate to a LOT of what you're saying which I did not expect! My goal is to be able to find and be able to USE what I actually have and with having an abundance, it's difficult to put it lightly. I'm taking on a new attitude after seeing this - go through it like I'm moving to a 1 BR apt. That should get me on track. Love your videos, as always! :)
I did the 30 day declutter challenge a few years ago and I don't miss what I got rid of it's so much easier to take care of what I do have
Another great video!!
You have really got me thinking about cleaning out this mess - I thought I was a minimalist, but you have shown me I have a long way to go.
I’ve been watching you for a while now - your financial advice is invaluable!! As of a few months ago, I have ZERO debt now!!!! I cut out all the extras and am now not living paycheck to paycheck. So when you say cut down on clutter in your home - I definitely listen. More people should do the same!! You say what others are too scared to.
Keep it up!!
I would enjoy more videos on this if you want to share your minimalism journey with us… I decluttered some earlier this week. A whole bag of books and a whole trash bag of clothes went to the community library box and the mission drop box, I felt so good getting rid of the stuff and pray that others can use these things.
Equal parts vinegar + dish soap, say half a spray bottle with both and the remainder add water for a shower door/tub cleaner. This works just as good as scrubbing bubbles. Too bad I just recently discovered this. I really hated buying $crubbing bubbles that would only be good for 2 bathroom cleanings. Good job on the minimalism I need to work on that.
When you are moving a distance, you may want to consider the cost of a moving van versus the cost of replacing inexpensive used furniture and possessions. I have moved taking only what would fit in my car. Hopefully you have only a few sentimental items like pictures that go in the car.Then you want your clothing and your toiletries and whatever you need for your pets . If there is no room for your bedding that is OK . When you arrive at your new location , you buy a blow up bed and some cheap bedding and a pillow . You buy a patio chair to sit on . The next day you buy inexpensive cookware and dishes because you want to be able to cook as soon as possible to save money and eat healthier than fast food . Then you slowly start accumulating the possessions you want in your new home . There is something freeing about starting out fresh like that .
I’m selling my Corolla and considering a minivan.
Keep in mind that the library may not keep books or CDs you donate. They may sell or donate them, so don’t count on them “storing” them for you.
I'm doing the Swedish Death Cleaning thing. No, I am not dying but think about what kids would have to go through when I do die. Photos that only I know who's in the photo, ancestors that even I have no idea who they are...tossed after calling family and asking if anyone wants them (no one did). I'm a book person but making sure the kids are aware that they are allowed to toss my books if they don't want them or any of my other stuff after I'm gone. No need to pass on clutter. Slowly whittling down the stuff so they don't have to deal with it after I'm gone. Now I have the harder job of NOT replacing it all which is a mental issue but one I can deal with.
I love your new bedroom! So pretty! I love videos like this - always inspires me!
Thanks for your common sense and humor, you completely crack me up!
I love how you decorated the bedroom. Your video is inspiring me to continue my minimalism journey. I had almost given up until I saw this. Your home looks so clean and hassle free and that’s what I want as well. Thank you for the tour and sneak peeks into your cabinets.
Hi there you've a gorgeous picture on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi! I hope you're having a great day 🤗
My minimalist journey started in my silverware drawer too. I was watching a minimal mom video and realized I had two sets of silverware all while vaguely remembering my sister in law mentioning she didn't have a complete set for her family of 5. Doh!! I immediately asked if she wanted my second set and she said yes!! Problem solved and I haven't looked back.
