#minimalism
This makes me calm when I see a family living as minimalists and it works. People always say that it gets so cluttered when you have kids and everything is a mess and no one can get around it but it's also up to one self which is proof right here.
Your videos are so calming to watch. Every time I watch you, I get the urge to grab a box and declutter my already clutter free home 😂 keep up the amazing work!
Can I say I am impressed with the way you guys film your videos. Capturing the lawn, your trees, the greying sky, and the rain as it poured down was so soothing and calming. Keep it up!
Thank you…. That means a lot ❤️
@@TheArmsteadFamily I agree, the rain segment was cool!!
Love your place...Nice & peaceful...😊
I love minimalism.
Mininalism saves my life, reduce stress, reduce spending, what's not to love?!
When we moved from a two bedroom apartment to a 2400 sq ft house, we had friends tell us that the house looked “stark”. Now, I am wanting to get back to that look again!! I love what you two have done. But, after 20 some years, it won’t be new, just not cluttered!!
Perfect! The rain watered your fertilizer in! I still think you need to stain that fence black! I found this very motivational! My husband has Stage 5 Parkinson's and we have ENOUGH STRESS! You seem 'Brave' to me to have nothing on your walls. My flat surfaces are clear but I have art on our walls. Watching your videos is making me care less and less about my wall decor. 🤔
It's soo peaceful and motivating for being minimalist. M starting it now
I've been feeling so overwhelmed lately and scatterbrained, this inspired me to get up and declutter a bag's worth of stuff before I go to bed!
👏🏽👏🏽… that’s awesome!
You and your wife are so inspirational. I just love your content! Also when you and your wife speak it is so calming and provides so much encouragement.
Aw thank you so much
Minimalism is different for everyone.
I love love love the black, gold & white.
I personally like to express my love of art and other interests. But hey each to their own.
But I also love less clutter, unnecessary furniture, expectations & judgement. Not all of us want to live in a display home or live for others opinion.
Tfs & take care 🤜🤛
Completely agree with everything you said especially with the mental clutter of having things you don't need stored away.
You are so right!!!!! We get influenced to impulse buy. I have been so disciplined with what I buy, and let me tell you I have saved enough money to put a new floor, get a new kitchen installed. I no longer have different sets of everything. Just the necessary and quality!! You will have the neatest yard in your neighborhood by the way 🤗🤗🤗🤗
How did you get there ?
Your place is beautiful and so spacious,I could easily move in there😄😄Here in S.A. we don't have drop off zones for our stuff,but luckily there is this lady that pass my house every 2 weeks and I pass it onto her.She is so grateful,and so am I.Please do a tour ( video) of your place.
Sth america or Australia?? Coz saustralia has bins and u can leave them on ur kerb... I'm a lil confused
I love how calming your videos are. I have been sharing your videos with my husband trying to get him to embrace a minimalist life style. He says do you have another crispy haircut guy video for me? ( my husband is balding…) we love your family and can’t wait for the next video.
😂😂😂 I’m saving this for when I’m feeling down 😂😂… I’m happy you’re enjoying the videos!
Exactly!! I have struggled to explain this feeling to others. Thank you. Now I can send them to this video and you can explain it.
Great video! I love the calming environment and your lawn! The rain, the cut grass all represents minimalism to me!!!! Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing. I love hearing other people's minimalist journeys. When I moved from my parents home I started slowly decluttering things like old university notes and childhood memorabilia. One of my hardest things I decided to give away was a very sentimental vintage jewellery box which my mother had given me. It held a lot of sentimental value as my mum passed away when I was 12. It's been a few weeks since I gave it away and I do not miss it at all
The nice lawn is a big one for us, we’re still working on it. It’ll never be perfect but just keeping it watered and green is good enough for us right now. We invested in underground sprinklers and it’s priceless! Lol
I was actually just thinking about why we are forgetful sometimes and I strongly believe it's because we have too much clutter in our lives. Minamilism is key for a better life.
You guys are just awesome and i´m so in that space now of calm uncluttered and happy home!! And everything you talk about it´s so me!!
Yes peaceful beautiful clean predictable easy simple the last thing in the world that fights against you is your beautiful clean home 🕊️
We are on this journey now. My son hates when our home is cluttered and messy. He cries more, follows me around as though he’s afraid and the cycle continues for a messy home. I can’t wait to get to a minimalist lifestyle ❤
Your home looks perfect to me! My home needs a good decluttering again!
This message is very eye opening for me👍. During the pandemic, I stocked up so OOO much. It became overwhelming later on😵. Now, I'm using things I stocked instead of buying extras. I have enough for at least 3 months emergency, and I feel so OOO much relaxed😊. I'm saving money instead 👌. Stay blessed and safe 🙏.
Thank you so much for not playing music while you are talking.
I'm there other than my animals had to simplify my home so I could use the energy to maintain after fur babies so I'm almost there 🙏😝
Beautiful, meaningful video. I loved it.
So glad I have found your channel. Love your content and your aesthetic as well! Thanks for sharing 💜
Words of wisdom thanks for helping me get my stuff out of my house ❤️
I’m glad theirs people like me in the world I threw my whole closet to goodwill it felt good I can breath better 😇 family of 4
Do any you guys remember the patterned wallpaper, forest green with line walls and flowers😫 back in the 80s and 90s? On top of that, cluttered walls along with a cluttered refrigerator to top it off.
As a minimalist, I must say that grass isn't good for the environment. But, I was thinking with all that yard, you guys could easily have a nice veggie and fruit garden in the backyard and you could even keep some grass if you wanted in the front yard. With the way you take care of your lawn, I'm sure you would take really good care of your food too (you seem like such a caring human). Just an idea to think about.
I've recently discovered your channel and I love your form of minimalism. I've been binge watching your videos. Excellent content!
I am very interested in gardening but wouldn’t even know where to start. I think I’ll take some time to educate myself on the topic
How is that grass not good for the environment?? So are you saying all the grass that has been naturally grown in the forests or in grassy fields is not good for the environment??
@@19xxmichelle I guess because it is a kind of monoculture and because you cut it (in wild nature grass also blooms) it does not provide any food or livable environment for bees and other little animals. :) but sure - it is better then just stones :) (sorry for my bad English).
@@l.d.3536 no I totally understand now, how did that fly over my head 😂but I'm guessing because USA has so many other houses that have flowers and food for bees, that cjons house with no flowers for bees wouldn't really make a huge impact 🤷🏽♀️im just looking at the bigger picture 😜
@@19xxmichelle it could also be the amount of water that goes into maintaining a green lawn. Not exactly sure though
Thank you!
You guys motivate me so much to declutter, but difficult difficult it is, I set a goal and 3 months in I failed 😞 I got up and started again. Thank you 🙏 for your encouragement
❤Love❤ this concept of living! So peaceful. Just a beautiful lifestyle!
Very nice video wow my hubby also loves to care for the lawn and 💐
Us lawn dads are out there…. 😂
New subscriber here! I loved this video. I've been watching a lot of declutterung videos to help me. This is one of the videos that helps. Thank you!! I understand so much of what you've said. I'm so stressed with all of this clutter and my family's clutter. Not sure I can get them to declutter a bit but I can hope. 💕💕
Really like your house so big and yet so few items.. n calming n soothing
Glad you love your couch at least you don't have to worry about thieves breaking in. I believe live and let live. Enjoy you man💖
Very Inspired, 😊 thanks for sharing
great video and messages. makes a lot of sense
Amazing tips. ❤️
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE WORDS I LIKE CAPS LOL....JUST WENT INTO LAUNDRY ROOM AND CLEARED STUFF OUT I HAVE WANTED TOO FOR A LONG TIME ....I FEEL A HUGE LOAD HAS BEEN LIFTED.....I HAVE BEEN SLOWLY GOING THRU THING THE PAST MONTH BUT FOR SOME REASON THAT SPACE WAS TOUGH....THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLESSINGS TO YOUR FAMILY I THINK YOUR WIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 500sq ft 1 br CONDO (paid off) is too much space! Don't use the bedroom at all, so, i realize i can downsize to a studio or a tiny home.
Would want Outdoor space enough to keep chicken for eggs and reproduction.
Not telling you what you SHOULD do, but I have chickens and they take a lot of time and work. Food, water, cleaning the dishes and the run, chicken poop everywhere. They dig worse than any dog I ever had, lol. I give most of the eggs away. I cannot eat a half dozen eggs a day. They are in no way profitable, but they are funny to watch. Maybe your extra room could grow some veggies and herbs for you until you find your right space?
Couldn’t have said it better! I used to own very little then I turned maximalist. Now I’m back to very little inside, I garden a lot and mow and maintain the lawns myself also. I donate a lot of stuff and trash the rest! Great video keep it up!
Love this
I wish that Imy home looked like yours. I know.... I am on the journey to get there. I listen to your videos all of the time.and I love them. I don't think that I will ever get to your level, but I am trying. Right now I live in a very small space without closets.... the vaccuum cleaner has to stand in a corner in the open concept entry way/living room. The kitchen is so small and stupidly designed that I don't have the proper places for the spices or dishes or pots and pans... someday I will live in a better designed space with more room. I am minimizing and decluttering daily. You make so much sense. I am listening.
Well I call it beautiful! 🤗
I call it heavenly I would adore that house 🏡
I'll never let go of my torphy's. 🏆
Such great content
yess, this,
my idea of decorating these days, is to not
Great video! Subscribed 😊
I like the kitchen.
Thank you,👍🏼🥰🇨🇦🙏🏼👏🌹beautiful family,
Hello Guys 👦 ☺ first comment ever.
Thank you for that video well done
❤️❤️
You could have a wonderful vegetable garden. 💚✌🏻
I would call awesome house!! I feel jealous. My husband loves decor and stuff. 😂 lol😅
I have been a minimalist for years now but do not understand why having "more" is supposedly a stressor? Unless you have gone into great debt to get more?
❤ belle famille
Please could you link your lawn mower below.
I L💙ve your place!
Seems like most men work longer hours to pay people to take care of their yard. I can see the value in knowing how to take care of your own lawn☺️
New subbie here.I love this so much.I am aiming to become a minimalist myself.
Awesome content! You’re both so inspiring to many who would like to be free of their stuff. You have a very calm and engaging demeanor! Your message is so valuable especially in these times. Bravo and I look forward to more! Enjoy your lawn and your home!! ☀️🪴💗
Too busy to declutter, too easy to just flung away things after you get back from work or when you're tired ..but then... can't get away from the stress😢
homeownership is a thing of the past, I live a simple minimalist life in 250 sq ft of space
Ownership of a home however helps your credit score especially when you pay on time
Mo things, mo problems 😢
And you’re cute too
ooooooolooolollooollololollo.lo.loolololllll
May this be the inspirations to many, out there that have been holding on to things for so long.. like me 🥲
