  • This week, welcome into our minimal home. Take a peek inside my cabinets, drawers, closets to see what we're living with (and without).

    I agree with the close-up comments, but it was also very kind of you to let us into your personal and up close world. Often when I watch minimalist videos, as a mother I do like a representation of how much is kept and how.
    Oh, and I strongly relate to baskets. I have a big heart for them. Thank you for a beautifully intentional view💗

      Thanks Ruthie! That’s very kind of you to say. I’m sure there’ll be another house tour in the future too, so I’ll be able to integrate the feedback and make improvements.

    This was a lovely, inspiring and peaceful video. I just found your channel through the 10 item wardrobe video. I love Jennifer L Scott too and Dawn at the minimal mom and Joshua Becker also. So fun to find a channel that resonates and inspires!

    This video showed all items up close. Magnified 🤷 It would be nice to see more visually from afar to see how you manage all your close-up items together as a whole as one

    What a lovely home you have created. So wish I'd known about minimalism when my kids were young. They were teens by the time I started down the path.

    • @papertownhome
      @papertownhome  9 місяців тому

      Thank you! I've definitely felt like I got off easy having come across it sooner. I'm impressed you took it on with teens. I think it would take a lot of conviction to introduce a new lifestyle to older children.

    Your home is wonderful. You have arrived and I'm sure will work to stay there! Josh Becker would frown at your toaster over on the counter, though. LoL I have mine on a cart in the corner of the kitchen on display as well. I have teased him about this on his channel, how I'm on board with all he says....except the toaster over part.. :-)

    • @papertownhome
      @papertownhome  8 місяців тому

      Completely agree! I don't think mine would even fit in any of our cabinets.

    You have more than we do in some things, and some we have more than you. I love your washer and dryer, we don't have them. Just a hand crank washer and a spinner and we line dry. One towel for each of us and they get washed every day. But it all works for us! I love dishes so we have many. And lots of clothes too. Everyone is different and that makes the world go round. ❤

    • @papertownhome
      @papertownhome  11 місяців тому +2

      I'm so fascinated by a crank washer! It's a good reminder that there are so many ways to live. We can forget and start to assume things like washers/dryers are essentials.

    I love this! I was just thinking the other day how my decorating style leans a little eclectic but that doesn’t mean I have to cover my walls and tables with things in order for it to give the homey artsy feel I want to go for. I personally want every piece to actually mean something, not just be decorative, without overdoing it. Unfortunately I have a husband who finds emotional sentiment in everything we’ve touched so he doesn’t allow me to slim down on our things the way I’d want to lol

    Frustrating that there wasn't any shots of whole spaces. Everything was super zoomed in and the big picture was completely missing.

    • @papertownhome

    I was expecting a minimalist home tour but all I can see is a home stuff tour. Rather than a sweep of the interior I’m just getting close ups of things - kind of defeats the object. This video could have been done in a smooth 3 minutes. From what I could see looks like a well kept home.

    • @papertownhome
      @papertownhome  9 місяців тому

      Great idea! 🥰 I know many people aspiring to minimalism desire to see the stuff, but I’ve gotten enlightening feedback from folks like yourself about the value of seeing the full interior and I’ll be sure to incorporate that next time. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share your perspective!

    Enjoying your videos. I’ve seems others who don’t fold their clothes and visually I find it cluttered. I can’t help but think how expensive clothes are and how disheveled and messy they look when worn wrinkly. So few items would be quick to fold and visually calming. But you do you. Keep up the good work.
