Its obvious where your heart is. I will never understand decorators who tell people not to keep pictures of family in living areas. I lost my oldest brother only two weeks ago, suddenly. I just sat in my living room, and theres a picture of me and my four brothers, as children, then posing identically in a picture, adults now. Behind that, a picture of him holding up a fish he'd just caught. Fishing, his favorite pastime. Im so grateful to have that picture, not just any piece of art.
I think you have a very nice apartment. Just right for a single person who doesn't have a lot of junk.😊 I thought fixing your recliner sounded like a very interesting idea! Who knew?!?!
You invited us to let you know how we felt in the comments section. I think you're absolutely one of the kindest, nicest men I've ever had the privilege to watch. Your apartment is a walking tour of love..... love for your family, love of life, love of photography. It's warm and welcoming, a lovely place, really. Thank you for sharing your home and heart with us. ❤🎉❤
Awe your Mom- so hard to loose a child. When my brother died in '19, it really took a toll on my Mom. His memorial was in April. Sorry you lost your only sibling, bless your heart! Nice tour- thanks. ❤
I really like that picture over your couch, with all the detail of the houses in the background and the bay. I liked the Scripture from Ruth. When I looked it up, I figured it was that one. You have a great devotion to your mother and your family. Ruth's conversion to the God of Israel and love and devotion to her mother-in-law qualified her to be a part of the lineage to King David and ultimately the Son of David, Christ. Love, obedience and sacrifice are always honored and never overlooked by God.
What a beautiful home. You are blessed to have a mom and your kids. I know my kids are 49 and 54 lol. We always call them or kids. You amaze me . Lynn here and your videos are great.😊👍
Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home! I absolutely love the fact that you have sentimental pieces of furniture and so many meaningful photos.
I've subscribed because you make a lot of sense and you look like a good, kind, honest person, I can see it in your face. You have a lovely family! Best wishes from London to you and all your viewers
Ruth 1:16 - But Ruth said: “Do not plead with me to abandon you, to turn back from accompanying you; for where you go I will go, and where you spend the night, I will spend the night. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”
Thank you for sharing. Your bedroom re-do has a simple serenity, almost like a monk’s cell. Have you noticed if your quality of sleep has improved since the changes?
You are not sure if you needed another lamp in your bedroom. You could put a light above your beautiful framed photo. It would be a simple solution ❤❤❤
You take beautiful pictures. Have you ever considered selling them as digital downloads? Would be interested in purchasing. Also a coffee table book of your travel pics would be awesome for your family members and to sell online. Love your heart and voice. Look forward to your videos every week. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and life.
I have an ottoman from my parents' first home. These type of things to me are family history and invaluable. I'm reminded that there are different degrees of minimalism and you touched on that recently as it's not a competition but a way of enjoying our space the best we can.
Your bedroom looks very serene. My daughter bought a set of legs on Amazon and changed out the ones on her couch, they just screwed in. It raised it up to a more comfortable height. Have you ever thought of doing that with your Dad's chair?
Lol definitely has a male bachelor pad feel. But a mature, clean, organized feel. Its nice, and has a nice cozy feel to it though. You can tell that you have a school administator background. Very organized.:-)
I have admired your dads chair with that light over it in other videos. I love that you keep furniture and photography that are meaningful to you. I really appreciate the tour. I’ve been trying to figure out the layout since your first video. A very nice and inviting apartment. I’m happy you are near your sweet mom, just in case.
I am as sentimental as I am.When I look around I see all the memories attached to these things.I’m so glad there is someone else in this world who sees the sentimental value in items.😊
I really enjoyed seeing your apartment, it is beautiful and functional. I liked learning about the history of the house and your arrangement w your mother. It works for you and it is definitely support to your mom, I bet she feels better because you are so close by if she needs anything..
I see complexity and simplicity. I observe melancholy and strength. You are so emotional, connected, yet structured. I sound like a soothsayer, but in reality I am simply an old lady who is using a long spoon to polish off the last bit of my Nutella wannabe, musing about how satisfied I feel about my own Spring refresh with colours that schmutz together coffee tones, creams, beiges, linens, yellows, berry tones and sky blues and Spring greens.... Yup. Purging is so freeing, and nesting palates releases the soul into new possibilities. What brings me back down to earth - every time - are those hairball fuzzballs that keep gathering, requiring CLEANING. Ruins my days, I tell ya!
I saw that rolltop desk in other videos you put out. I really love it. It's a very nice apartment Tim. Sorry about your brother. and your dad. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Hi! I just ran across your video. I am going to find some more. I am 70, widowed and do not like this getting old bit at all! You seem to be dealing nicely with it. Of course, it helps that you are so settled in with home and family! Good Luck to You!
I like your home. It reflects who you are and what you care about. Family. You have some really great photos. I have been decluttering for about 4 years. Trying to be more "minimal". and I have to tell you - it sure takes a lot less time to clean! I have a picture on my office wall with Ruth 1:16. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. With a golden retriever looking out of a car window. Because. My name is Ruth, and I did have a golden retriever who stuck to me like glue! My sister thought it was fitting. Stay true to you. And it's great you are there for your Mom. Thanks for sharing.
What a great place you have. Thanks for sharing that with us. It's nice that you can be there just in case your mom needs you. I am sure she loves having you close by. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. You have a good positive attitude. 😀
Love your apartment! You have done a wonderful job of pulling sentimental items into your space. I’d want to sit in my dad’s chair every night. I have a rocker in my bedroom that was in my dad’s bedroom. I use my grandma’s salt and pepper shakers everyday. I have both of my grandma’s metal measuring cups. You are making memories with your mom still to this day….what a blessing!
I just loved your apartment. It's a very beautiful place. So glad to know your mom is 91 years old. She is so sweet. Take care of her. God Bless you, dear Tim. Thank you. Your photos are the best. ❤
I hope you will repair your daughter's beautiful desk! Your flat is great!! Love the pics (grandkids and I can see why John and Peter grab you. I am not religious, but there is sthg about this pic). The "ostentatious towels" made me laugh. Very masculine colours, and looks over functionality. lol, but then, I am Female=different ways to look at things :) Love your studio. I have one too: painting, and writing (and dancing/gymnastics).
Very nice place. I am reflecting after watching, asking myself if I have anything I would call keeping for sentimental reasons. Almost nothing. Maybe because I did not inherit anything other than my mother's costume jewelry, which I store condensed in a nice crystal jar on a dresser in her memory. Nothing else. I might feel different if had furniture or decorations from my parents. My husband though is far more sentimental and a keeper of stuff. It's a challenge at times. I know he has things stuffed where I have not looked. If we were to downsize and he was still dragging it along......
For the roll top desk and chair, have you looked into a furniture restorer that can just tighten everything up? Not change the color or anything just make it so it can be used again? Then if you like their work ask about raising your dad’s chair. Love everything about your home!
Thank you for the tour and story behind the items that matter. Your home reflects you and your personality, which to me is so lovely! Outside the bricks, not matching makes that area perfectly imperfect, drawing the story of change. I love that you honour your Dad and brother with their belongings. Family photographs are perfect, as are your captures of special places. You are so lucky to have your Mom so near, and it's beyond precious that you admit to her still 'caring' for you! I lost my Dad 31 years and Mum 28 years ago. How I miss their care. Best wishes to you from Teesdale, North East England. x
It was a treat to see your lovely basement home. The layout is generous and roomy and arranged with comfort in mind. Adore your photography and of course the family pictures are precious. Your mother’s home is truly lovely and I’m sure she has lots of wonderful memories. I’m so happy she escaped that ravaging storm that went through some time ago. I most fell in love with her kitchen, I must confess. After all the kitchen is the heart of the home. Thanks for sharing a very intimate part of your life. Always nice to get to know you better… I hope I can say that 🥹. See you soon. ❤
Beautiful apartment, I love individual looking homes not the cookie cutter non personality homes you see on ytube. We have a photo wall of family and photos we have taken, furniture and things that have been passed down through generations.
The decor of your space is perfect - the personal photos, furniture with memories attached to it, and the functional design suits you. Those mugs your student made are great! It’s nice to see the studio space too! My son and I talk about sharing my house at some point in the future, so it’s nice to see how it can be done while still maintaining a good level of independence for you both.
I would have the roll top desk repaired as well as the chair. It is beautiful and is a perfect place for stationery, stamps, check books, etc. It also makes the room cozy and interesting and it holds special memories for you.
I love your Dad's chair and your daughter's roll top desk. I think both of them are situated beautifully and add warmth and character to your apartment 😊
Your apt looks great! For the roll-top desk & chair, may be you can find a local place near you that can restore both to original condition. Everything that is old can look new again with some TLC by an restoration expert. 🙂
I love your photography as art as well your display of family photos! Instead of a lamp in your bedroom how about a picture light above your photo? It will highlight your photo even more and add some great ambient light. ( Amazon has rechargeable ones so you won’t need an outlet.) I love that you keep items that are so meaningful to you. I think your living arrangement is perfect for you and your Mom and great for your family to visit because you all can be together! Thanks for sharing your home!
I haven’t been retired that long. I had plans to do the same with my mom, but unfortunately she passed away. Not sure wants in store for the rest of my journey. I commented because i had the same roll top desk growing up I reluctantly parted with it. Enjoyed your tour.
You definitely have not lost your mind. I think you are absolutely on to something here. And I am fascinated by the concept. I think I am already embarked on following suit
This is good inspiration for me. Your place looks restful and purposeful. I love the way you have a few treasured items here and there. The box I went through yesterday turned out to be stuff that my father saved. Things of importance for him. His thesis, stuff from his job at IBM, things from his time in the army at the end of WWll. It was overwhelming. It is all back in the box, I don't want to face it, but where will I keep it? I don't even want to keep it, but at least want the kids to look it over. These are the things that stop me in my tracks. This video reminds me what I am going for, where I want to be. Thank you so much.
We all love to peep into another's life, and yours doesn't disappoint. You're so open and interesting. Loved your little tour. I just discovered you have a Ted talk, which I shall investigate later.
You have worked hard to make a beautiful, calming home. I love that you cherish your sentimental items. It’s none of my business but I wouldn’t put a lamp in the corner of the bedroom. Let your beautiful art shine with just the bench.
VERY nice space! I am shocked that you got all that livable space from the unfinished basement you showed in the old video. It looked so much smaller before it was finished off! It is so great that you have a multigenerational home. I wish more people did this.
I lost my husband of forty six years in January. Downsizing is tough and some things, like you said, will be with me forever. But you cant keep it all. Your place looks comfy and cozy.😊
I never lived in a home with a finished basement but always admired them. It doubles your living space. Wondering if all homes will be built with a finished basement in the future.
Very nice apartment. Thank you for sharing a little bit if your life with us. I’m working on decluttering tight now and the hardest thing for me are things that were given to me by my kids and grandkids. My heart is too big I guess. You have a very beautiful family. God bless 🙏🏻❤️
My dad was fairly tall (6’3”), and he built a platform to make his recliner taller. You might enjoy using the chair more if it was easier to get out of!
Thankfully you were both okay when the tree fell on your house. I live in Michigan and just a week or two ago we had a tornado come through suburban detroit, and a tree fell on a bedroom where a mother and her 2 year old son were sleeping. Sadly the child died, and the mom is I believe still in the hospital. It took 25 firefighters to get them out and it was an absolutely horrible event!
Its obvious where your heart is. I will never understand decorators who tell people not to keep pictures of family in living areas. I lost my oldest brother only two weeks ago, suddenly. I just sat in my living room, and theres a picture of me and my four brothers, as children, then posing identically in a picture, adults now. Behind that, a picture of him holding up a fish he'd just caught. Fishing, his favorite pastime. Im so grateful to have that picture, not just any piece of art.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔
Terry, I'm so sorry about your brother, mine passed in 2019, service was in April. We called him TJ - (Terry James) ❤
I am sorry for your loss
That's when you sell
I’m so sorry for your loss. Treasure your pictures and memories. ❤
Great apt. and I love that if your mom ever needs you, you are not far away. You are a good man.😊
😊😊
blessing!
It must be such a comfort to your mom to have you in the house.
I hope so. :)
❤❤❤
family!
You're so sweet. Your family is lucky❤
'I haven't totally cleaned up here.' he says.
Swings camera around to face the pristine apartment...

When you get rid of 95% of everything..... it kinda looks different. 😂
I think you have a very nice apartment. Just right for a single person who doesn't have a lot of junk.😊 I thought fixing your recliner sounded like a very interesting idea! Who knew?!?!
Lol when you get rid of the junk you have room for the sentimentals

Thank you for the tour, very nice place. So great that you can be close by for your mother .

Your apartment is 1000% cleaner than mine 😮. That’s awesome you honor your Dad by keeping his chair….
The chair and ottoman are gorgeous.

I haven’t been retired that long. I had plans to do the same with my mom, but unfortunately she passed away. Not sure wants in store for the rest of my journey. I commented because i had the same roll top desk growing up I reluctantly parted with it. Enjoyed your tour.

You definitely have not lost your mind. I think you are absolutely on to something here. And I am fascinated by the concept. I think I am already embarked on following suit

This is good inspiration for me. Your place looks restful and purposeful. I love the way you have a few treasured items here and there. The box I went through yesterday turned out to be stuff that my father saved. Things of importance for him. His thesis, stuff from his job at IBM, things from his time in the army at the end of WWll. It was overwhelming. It is all back in the box, I don't want to face it, but where will I keep it? I don't even want to keep it, but at least want the kids to look it over. These are the things that stop me in my tracks. This video reminds me what I am going for, where I want to be. Thank you so much.
We all love to peep into another's life, and yours doesn't disappoint. You're so open and interesting. Loved your little tour. I just discovered you have a Ted talk, which I shall investigate later.
Thank you for watching!

Beautiful family… beautiful picture of Peter John running to the tomb👍🏻🤦🏼♀️is it one of a kind?
No. I got it at a Christian Bookstore years ago.
it is so beautiful!
A lovely place
😍
true
You have worked hard to make a beautiful, calming home. I love that you cherish your sentimental items. It’s none of my business but I wouldn’t put a lamp in the corner of the bedroom. Let your beautiful art shine with just the bench.

VERY nice space! I am shocked that you got all that livable space from the unfinished basement you showed in the old video. It looked so much smaller before it was finished off! It is so great that you have a multigenerational home. I wish more people did this.

I lost my husband of forty six years in January. Downsizing is tough and some things, like you said, will be with me forever. But you cant keep it all. Your place looks comfy and cozy.😊
so sorry for your loss🤗
I never lived in a home with a finished basement but always admired them. It doubles your living space. Wondering if all homes will be built with a finished basement in the future.

Very nice apartment. Thank you for sharing a little bit if your life with us.
I’m working on decluttering tight now and the hardest thing for me are things that were given to me by my kids and grandkids. My heart is too big I guess.
You have a very beautiful family. God bless 🙏🏻❤️

and kid's stuff get me everytime!

My dad was fairly tall (6’3”), and he built a platform to make his recliner taller. You might enjoy using the chair more if it was easier to get out of!
maybe...but the chair is not for sitting
Your dad’s chair is very nice. Couldn’t you add new legs to it to raise it up, so you could use it?

Thankfully you were both okay when the tree fell on your house. I live in Michigan and just a week or two ago we had a tornado come through suburban detroit, and a tree fell on a bedroom where a mother and her 2 year old son were sleeping. Sadly the child died, and the mom is I believe still in the hospital. It took 25 firefighters to get them out and it was an absolutely horrible event!
