Super simple and cute. I just switched to floor beds for my 1.5 year old and my 10 month old. Eventually I'll move my 10 month old from our room to the floor bed in her brothers room and I'm just like "These kids are never gonna sleep again." 😱 My toddler is fine with it but my 10 month old is gonna party. Lol
I'm so glad other parents like floor beds! My mother guilt tripped my husband and I into getting rid of our Japanese style futons last year and I miss them so much 😣
I don’t have kids. I’m a teenager. But I was looking for cool crafts and I just saw the picture. And thought wow that looks cool. Then I figured out your a mom. And you make mother type videos. I just wanted a crafts. I love to make stuff.
As soon as you said “she can crawl out and play with her toys whenever she wants” I thought “well that will be fun when she doesn’t wanna go to bed, LOL” I love your channel though and thought it was amusing when you said that
Haha, I personally find it strange that parents expect their kids to go to bed at the same time every night. There is a reason they have trouble “getting their kids to sleep”. Adults aren’t tired at the same time every night, and neither are kids! It’s totally depends on the days activities :) children learning sleep regulation on their own is far more valuable! It’s probably why my two older girls have not really had any issues going to bed at night! They play until they’re ready and then hop in to bed on their own and go to sleep ;)
@@ariannapflederer We do the same time in his room every night, but don't expect him to fall asleep. Some nights he's asleep right away and others he plays for and hour and tucks himself in. Like you said it depends on the night. We don't fight it and I think that's what makes bedtime easier in everyone, and why there's never been a fight to get him to sleep. He's also never had a crib and went too a floor bed at 7 months after bedsharing.
@@ariannapflederer I see what you mean...but science sort of says otherwise about the bedtime thing. Melatonin regulates our schedule. We actually do get tired at the same time every day...as adults we just ignore it when we want to stay up later. However, with little kids we can lean into that hormonal shift and have a bedtime routine that helps trigger their bodies to know it's bedtime. I think a lot of montessori stuff is cool...but I have always sort of questioned the whole getting out of bed and playing thing. Not sure I can fully get on board with that. But that's okay because we are all different!
I know this was a year ago, but how long of a period did you leave the baby alone? 🤔 I want to do this when I have kids, just worried about a few things 😌❤️
Hi Arianna , so inspiring watching this video. I have a 3 month old baby girl and we are setting up her nursery room. I so love the bed. You mentioned you have done it yourself and have a video on it. Can you please point me in the right direction. We are embarking in our montessori journey and would like to build one for our baby girl. thank you very much. all the best x
Do you center everything with your kids around montessori? i went to montessori school from preschool to 4th grade and when i was little i never watched/ was exposed to disney or a lot of TV whatsoever do you do that with your kids?
No, I do not. I talked about in the video that there are some things I’m not so fond of. Like oversheltering from electronics. It is our future and what most jobs will be when our kids are entering the work world. But I am a big advocate for no screens in elementary school and limited in middle and high school. The amount they use them these days, with kindergarteners taking tests on computers and having to use a laptop every day is concerning to me.
So glad you are enjoying them! Thank you for watching 🙂 I have a family closet video where I talk about why. You can check it out here : ua-cam.com/video/3_fHmXQQ_Rw/v-deo.html
Meredith Simpson honey the level of disrespect is unreal .First you make an offensive comment after clearly not watching the full video and then proceed to get angry at someone trying to help you .
Shahs Djsjdn please don’t call me honey. And by the way you are welcome to your opinion. I won’t judge you as obviously you have judged me. Sweet dreams.
It’s premium pine, so it doesn’t need to be sanded down. Only the ends and light sanding where it was routed! We used a light coat of natural non-toxic sealer as well for extra protection. But the type of wood you choose plays a big role with how much work you will have to go to for preventing splinters!
Arianna. I want to make some play tents for my little twin cousins.. a non toxic wood finish is important.. I was wanting them to be a color, do you know of a paint or stain you would recommend?
Do you know where you got your colour sorting cups and balls from? I’ve been looking everywhere, but can only find small ones that seem like a chocking hazard. Also, love your videos, super cute family!
I got mine off Etsy! They are pretty pricey. 6 sets for about $50 I think. I couldn’t find the exact set I have, I don’t think the seller makes it anymore. But I linked another version in the kit in the description :)
I will never understand the point of being a minimalist? I love having decor all over my home and having things. Each to their own, but I just don’t get it.
Minimalism is about only having what you need to live intentionally so that you can focus on what really matters. If consumerism is more important to you, that is your choice :) it is not ours!
The issue lies in the feeling that things are important. They’re things. The need or want for things is societal. I don’t for a second doubt that you care about your family and I am sure you are a wonderful mother (father/wife/husband, not sure). But I know for me and countless others who are learning to move away from consumerism...we are able to spend more time with our family when we have less things. I clean less, I pick up less, I stress less. Research wise, kids also function much better, learn better, and play better. Anxiety has also been tied to too many things because your subconscious brain is focusing on too much. There is nothing wrong with having things, it’s the need for excess things that is the issue.
Overcomer i like minimalism because I function better in a more open and less cluttered space. I also like to spend my money on experience and things i feel that are important. I dont find most ‘things’ to be important. My happiest memories are things that i have done and experienced with my family. Not the things i own. I also have more freedom to buy higher quality items, that are usually more expensive. I spent a total of just under $5,000 on baby things the first time around. This includes nursery renovations and furniture. I have reused everything i have bought for all 5 of my children (this obviously excudes things that will eventually run out like nappy rash cream, baby food, baby paracetamol ect) it comes out to $1000 per child and i plan on having one more which will bring it down to $830 per child in the first year. Another thing is being able to relocate with ease. We have my bedroom, the nursery and the older 3 kids room, the play room, the living room, 2 bathrooms, 1 laundry and a kitchen. 8 rooms total. We have so little belongings that we could spend 1 hour packing each room and 30 minutes cleaning each room. That is 12 hours total so i could decided on a tuesday that i wanna go live somewhere else and we could be out by wednesday night and 100% unpacked in our new home by Thursday night. Minimalism gives you alot of choice and freedom.
Julia Arnold The reasons y’all are listing I do while having stuff. You can love your family and have stuff, you can spend your time w/ your family and have stuff.
Hey girl! I really love that floor bed, but I was wondering if you are worried about your baby crawling out in the night and hurting itself? Or is that really not something that would happen? I’m very uneducated on all of this lol!
The room is designed so baby can explore without worry. So no! Of course kids can hurt themselves on a flat wall haha. But that’s not a reason to confine them from everything :) I have a monitor in her room so I can hear her if she wakes!
Arianna. Ohh okay! Thanks for the reply. I love the idea of a free space for them to play and roam as opposed to the almost cage-like structure of a crib.
I wish you were around when i was a young mom! I dont know why but im not getting any notifications of your videos! I will repress the button! Love and prayers!
Love this room does your littlr omr have anymore toys? If so were are they as my little ones room is small and i really want to do Montossi so bad but she had alot of stuff so i feel as i need the cot for under storage? X
She has more toys in other parts of our home. But that is it in her room! We keep minimal toys for our kids. I have lots of videos on my channel about minimalism and kids toys 🙂 she is a bit older now, so her toys aren’t all the same. She has her Hape activity cube, a shape sorting box, the Grimms stacker, the grimms nesting bowls, and 4 books. She typically wakes in the morning and plays for about an hour on her own before asking to come out 🙂 I wouldn’t suggest under storage if you are putting an infant in the bed. The floor bed is Montessori specific and very important to allow them to truly maneuver their entire room. It also would not be safe to have a raised bed for a smaller child as well ☺️
Minimalism is about living intentionally, not a style. And yes babies like color, but child professionals actually say that a child’s room should not be full of tons of color and a lot of toys. Their bedroom is for sleeping. Natural colors like you see here help their brain to relax and go to sleep. Bright colors and too many toys keep their brain stimulated and make sleep more difficult! Their entire world is full of color and we obviously have toys elsewhere in the house. If you are focusing on your child’s room as their source of brain development when awake...I would be concerned. That means they are in their room way too much!
would definitely recommend NOT having your dog in the bedrooms, especially your children's bedrooms. when i saw that he/she was lying on your babies play mat i couldn't help but feel my skin crawl. it is so unhygienic and very unsafe for your baby. domestic animals bring in all sorts of bacteria into the home, even if they only go outside to run around and use the restroom. please stop this for the sake of your children.but other than that i am in love with the minimal look and the simple beauty of the room!
The dog lays and walks all over the floors the kids crawl and play on. I’ll bet the rug gets washed way less than the bedding. And the kids play outside in the same grass and dirt the dogs do.
I’m not concerned. There’s a reason children with dogs in the house have less allergies and are sick less often :) three kids in now and it’s never been an issue 🤪
Darci Ní Cheallaigh You would hate to see what my baby will be coming home to then 😂 two big fox red labs that she’d like CRAZY! I can’t wait for my son to grow up with dog hair all over him! Being introduced to pet fur at a young age is good for children.
@@meganpeck1787 oh trust me i can imagine ahaha!! i grew up with a big German Shepherd and i truly believe that it is amazing for children to grow up with animals, especially big dogs as the stereotypes for big dogs are always so negative. i'm just trying to wrap my head around bringing an animal into a babies bedroom that's all, considering you have to be so careful with the sanitation of babies. i don't see any benefit from it. And in all honesty, it should also teach the dog to have a bit more respect, such as when animals go into the dining room or sit by a human's feet when they are eating. bounderies with aniamls are vital! :)
I have three dogs, one a Great Dane as well. And a since past service dog. So one of the most highly trained dogs you can have! So I am very familiar with dog training and what’s appropriate and what’s not. Parents are a little over the top now a days with sanitation, and unfortunately that’s why kids are constantly sick. Besides the most mild case of hand foot and mouth our kids have never had more than a cold and a few stomach aches! And since going vegan, no stomach aches (unless my second born has too much gluten because she is sensitive to it). I truly do appreciate your concern 🙂 but, this isn’t my first rodeo and I am confident seeing as my children’s immune systems have been far above their friends!
Love it! You seemed really clued on. Are you using warm light bulbs rather than the fluorescent ones that emit blue light? Assuming you are it would be nice to see your girls rooms at night time.
They were just washed, so they were in a laundry basket not yet put away. And as you can see we are minimalists, she has 18 pieces of clothing which is plenty!
Yes and no. Your room is in large part for sleeping. Toys are colorful and the majority of their awake day they should be outside or in other parts of your home. My oldest had occupational therapy when younger and professionally speaking she said it was actually better for kids to have little color in their room as the stimuli keeps their brains going and doesn’t allow them to calm and relax. Lots of color in their room is not recommended by child professionals! I would say that in my experience it also rings true because while other parents have struggled with their children sleeping, we never really have. Despite giving them floor beds early with access to toys even. They have always chosen to play for a short while and then go to sleep on their own without issue :) their world is FULL of color, they don’t need it in their rooms where they should be sleeping 😉
Britt's Little Bunch - My daughter has a tiny tortilla blanket that looks so real she tried to eat it. It isn’t for her, it came with a stuffed animal but it looks so real.
I recently started watching you but I think you are so inspirational. Saying this I definitely am going to start doing better things, and being more neat, and last spend less time on electronics. You are a great mom! Have a great day✨🌻
@@ariannapflederer I love the floor bed idea my daughter has a toddler bed in her own room but sleeps in her playpen in our room i want to transition her to her room but she sleeps wild and doesn't stay on her toddler bed!!
what do you think you will do when the girls get older and want more colour on their walls??? I remember you saying that it isn't your style but do you think you will change it out as they get older and want a change???
I would probably just say no haha. It’s okay to tell kids no 🤪 They can have color in their room in lots of other ways, just like I already did in the older girls room! I had school bus yellow walls growing up and had to repaint them...so I know it’s not worth it 😂 Sure, things could change, but if it was anything it would probably like an accent wall.
Arianna - could you at some point describe a bit of your journey as a mother, how you developed your philosophy and finding what works for you? I'm finding myself feeling kind of sad that my own parenting views were very unclear, including (especially) to myself and I'm heartened to noticed how much clarity you have. My youngest just finished 10th grade, but you never stop being a parent and I think I could learn a thing or two from you about how to form and act on my own opinions in positive ways.
Would you mind doing a minimal cloth diaper stash video? I searched your channel and didn't find one. So I apologize if you've already made it and I missed it. I have 5 children and started cloth diapering with #2. I began my minimalism journey 3 years ago. I have detached so.e of my diapers but at one point I had 3 in diapers and now I have 2 in diapers so this is an area I really haven't declutter.
Absolutely! I do agree that there are some things that don’t really sit well in my soul but for a whole- it’s the best thing! I am now a nanny and I have used that method of education with her and it’s just great!
You are lucky you child to be alive there is nothing more dangerous than put a newborn baby in the parrents bed she could have died in so Many ways dont do that ever again i work with children and i already witnest 5 baby's die because the parrents sleep with there baby in the same bed the first thing a child docter Will Tell you to not do IT Will be to sleep with a baby in your bed the chances of your child die because of sids multiplay by 30 Times its extremly dangerous
food is nice there are safe ways to bedshare and lots of benefits. Statistically more babies die alone in their cribs than in beds with parents. Each parent has to do what makes them most comfortable and leaving my baby alone in the basset terrified me. I’ll do the same with future biological children. My foster babies go in cribs and I don’t sleep well at all... no sleep is more dangerous in my opinion. My pediatrician knew we slept with my son and has read the research on both sides. While it’s not the choice he made for his own family, he doesn’t try to scare people who do.
It was gifted to us by scandiborn! They sponsored a video a while back when I was pregnant with Rensly. I totally forgot to add it to the kit. It’s there now!
me being a perfectionist,the dresser fitting in the closet pleased me a bunch
Right?! I was so excited 😂
This room is so relaxing, a very airy feel🙃 this probably helps with the baby falling asleep faster since there isn’t much distraction. 🙃
I love how you make all the rooms cute and fun while still being very minimal!
It's been four years, I hope the kiddo has an actual room with happy colors and fun toys.
where did you get that macrame wall decor? i really like it and think it flows very well with the room!

Omg I need that floor bed crib dunno, my baby rolls a lott and I have my bed on the floor aswell, love it!!
I can't wait to see the video showing how you made the bed I want to make my daughter one
I don’t have kids. I’m a teenager. But I was looking for cool crafts and I just saw the picture. And thought wow that looks cool. Then I figured out your a mom. And you make mother type videos. I just wanted a crafts. I love to make stuff.

Did you all make the cube shelf?
I’m kind of confused-is it a montessori or just minimalist thing where she doesn’t have many clothes? Or are there more off camera? Thanks!
They were just washed, so not put away lol. I didn’t say it was all her clothes! She only has 18 pieces though, so it is a minimal wardrobe.
Love this!!! We cosleep so my 10 month old doesn’t have his own room yet. I love what you did with this though. 😍
I’m obsessed!!! Wow this is gorgeous! 😍
It’s really plain and cute! I love it

My best friends moms are thinking about getting beds like that for her little brothers (they're twins, 18 months old)! 👍
That’s awesome! Our first two kids switched over to floor beds at 17 months and 18 months, they did great!

I didn’t think about making a video like that! I can definitely add it to my list of video ideas! 💛
Thank you! Looking forward to see it, mu baby is 7 months old as well
Hey! Where is that shelf from? I’ve been looking like crazy and I love the shelf that holds her toys. Please respond.
Its ikea TROFAST!
Question the crib baby that is in it couldn’t the baby get out and crawl around when it can?
Yes, that’s the point of a floor bed! I mentioned that I would link an article about the benefits of a floor bed :) check it out!
Thank you for the information!
Okay, I’m intrigued. At what age will she fully transition to this nursery?
Already done! :) she’s just shy of 8 months!
Love it! Whats the size of the mattress?
It’s crib size 🙂
Love this !

I’m not concerned. There’s a reason children with dogs in the house have less allergies and are sick less often :) three kids in now and it’s never been an issue 🤪
Darci Ní Cheallaigh You would hate to see what my baby will be coming home to then 😂 two big fox red labs that she’d like CRAZY! I can’t wait for my son to grow up with dog hair all over him! Being introduced to pet fur at a young age is good for children.
@@meganpeck1787 oh trust me i can imagine ahaha!! i grew up with a big German Shepherd and i truly believe that it is amazing for children to grow up with animals, especially big dogs as the stereotypes for big dogs are always so negative. i'm just trying to wrap my head around bringing an animal into a babies bedroom that's all, considering you have to be so careful with the sanitation of babies. i don't see any benefit from it. And in all honesty, it should also teach the dog to have a bit more respect, such as when animals go into the dining room or sit by a human's feet when they are eating. bounderies with aniamls are vital! :)
I have three dogs, one a Great Dane as well. And a since past service dog. So one of the most highly trained dogs you can have! So I am very familiar with dog training and what’s appropriate and what’s not. Parents are a little over the top now a days with sanitation, and unfortunately that’s why kids are constantly sick. Besides the most mild case of hand foot and mouth our kids have never had more than a cold and a few stomach aches! And since going vegan, no stomach aches (unless my second born has too much gluten because she is sensitive to it). I truly do appreciate your concern 🙂 but, this isn’t my first rodeo and I am confident seeing as my children’s immune systems have been far above their friends!
Love it! You seemed really clued on. Are you using warm light bulbs rather than the fluorescent ones that emit blue light? Assuming you are it would be nice to see your girls rooms at night time.
She doesn’t have many clothes
They were just washed, so they were in a laundry basket not yet put away. And as you can see we are minimalists, she has 18 pieces of clothing which is plenty!
What a lovely and simple bedroom she has i love it 😍😍😍 the cactus wall stickers are so cool!
I love it but young children need to see lots of colour for their brain development
Yes and no. Your room is in large part for sleeping. Toys are colorful and the majority of their awake day they should be outside or in other parts of your home. My oldest had occupational therapy when younger and professionally speaking she said it was actually better for kids to have little color in their room as the stimuli keeps their brains going and doesn’t allow them to calm and relax. Lots of color in their room is not recommended by child professionals! I would say that in my experience it also rings true because while other parents have struggled with their children sleeping, we never really have. Despite giving them floor beds early with access to toys even. They have always chosen to play for a short while and then go to sleep on their own without issue :) their world is FULL of color, they don’t need it in their rooms where they should be sleeping 😉
No thats not true! :)
Wrong
Don't donate the burp cloths! We use them as rags in their cleaning station for when my girls are much older. They absorb liquid so well.
Oh good idea! Thank you!
@@ariannapflederer Welcome! :) good luck with your Montessori journey. ❤️
Hey! Just found your videos! Were ttc and also inspired by montessori! Were also vegan and want to cloth diaper! 🙏🏻❤️🌿
Hello! Welcome! 💛💛
I love the decals on your girls walls! Definitely will be using the promo code!
My baby (also 3rd daughter) has a Montessori nursery/floor bed. Her room is my favorite
What are your favorite cloth diaper brands? Possibly inexpensive?
I have a video going up next week showing my cloth stash :)
Arianna. Yay! Thank you!
I love it, but are those all of her clothes
No, haha. I just did the wash so they were in a basket. I did a video already on her wardrobe. She has 18 pieces 🙃
Does she need more clothes? Who is the baby dressing up for. No one. Babies don't need more than just a few pieces.
Her playmat looked like a tortilla on the. Thumbnail and i was super confused lol.
It all looks cute
Britt's Little Bunch - My daughter has a tiny tortilla blanket that looks so real she tried to eat it. It isn’t for her, it came with a stuffed animal but it looks so real.
Love this!! I have a fairly minimalist nursery for my boys and think it’s just so beautiful but yours is for sure amazing!
Where is your bumper from?
It’s linked in the kit in the description box :)
I recently started watching you but I think you are so inspirational. Saying this I definitely am going to start doing better things, and being more neat, and last spend less time on electronics. You are a great mom! Have a great day✨🌻
I love the nursery !!
But I would be scared for the wood toy thing I would want to like rubber the edge of everything 😂
Haha, I’m not concerned :)
I would love a cloth diaper video
It’s recorded already and will be up in the next week or two :)
I hope it includes a recipe for the spray.
I love it so much! So peaceful. 😍 I can't believe you made that bed (except I can, because you guys are amazing-), it's so beautiful!
Aw thanks girl! 💛
@@ariannapflederer I love the floor bed idea my daughter has a toddler bed in her own room but sleeps in her playpen in our room i want to transition her to her room but she sleeps wild and doesn't stay on her toddler bed!!
Where is the bookshelf from? Can't wait to see the floor bed video!
Its from ikea! I linked it in the description box in the kit link :)
Oh wait, you meant the wall one! Haha. I think it’s from target. We got it a long time ago though. I’m not entirely sure!
@@ariannapflederer ya the one on the wall! Love it
Love this! We are putting our 3 girls in a room together! So excited to film it
What is Montessori?
Check out the blog post I linked in the description 🙃
Do you happen to know the name of the color of the paint on your wall? I am really loving it!
Agreeable Grey by Sherwin Williams! 🙂
what do you think you will do when the girls get older and want more colour on their walls??? I remember you saying that it isn't your style but do you think you will change it out as they get older and want a change???
I would probably just say no haha. It’s okay to tell kids no 🤪 They can have color in their room in lots of other ways, just like I already did in the older girls room! I had school bus yellow walls growing up and had to repaint them...so I know it’s not worth it 😂 Sure, things could change, but if it was anything it would probably like an accent wall.
Just looking at your minimalistic home gives me sooooo much peace
Arianna - could you at some point describe a bit of your journey as a mother, how you developed your philosophy and finding what works for you? I'm finding myself feeling kind of sad that my own parenting views were very unclear, including (especially) to myself and I'm heartened to noticed how much clarity you have. My youngest just finished 10th grade, but you never stop being a parent and I think I could learn a thing or two from you about how to form and act on my own opinions in positive ways.
Love your nursery!!! Very well thought out; and minimal....perfect!!!!
You're so inspiring. Love the room. Thanks for sharing.
Oh how I love it all! Sooo simple and beautiful! I’m loving the minimal journey and loving tips from your channel. 💙💙💕
Would you mind doing a minimal cloth diaper stash video? I searched your channel and didn't find one. So I apologize if you've already made it and I missed it. I have 5 children and started cloth diapering with #2. I began my minimalism journey 3 years ago. I have detached so.e of my diapers but at one point I had 3 in diapers and now I have 2 in diapers so this is an area I really haven't declutter.
I actually already have it recorded! It will probably be up next week :)
@@ariannapflederer Awesome lol
LOVE THIS NURSERY!
I have actually worked at a Montessori school and children just THRIVE in them.
Keep it up momma sue!
If we sent our kids to a school, Montessori would be one of my first picks! I love how child led it is!
Absolutely! I do agree that there are some things that don’t really sit well in my soul but for a whole- it’s the best thing!
I am now a nanny and I have used that method of education with her and it’s just great!
Love how simple it all is. Beautiful room!
I love rensly room, but I have a question what is montasory mean?
I linked a good blog post below! It talks about Montessori beds and a bit about the Montessori method!
We didn’t do a crib either with my son. We just put a twin mattress on the floor when he was a year old. Before that he was in our bed. 🙈🤷♀️

You are lucky you child to be alive there is nothing more dangerous than put a newborn baby in the parrents bed she could have died in so Many ways dont do that ever again i work with children and i already witnest 5 baby's die because the parrents sleep with there baby in the same bed the first thing a child docter Will Tell you to not do IT Will be to sleep with a baby in your bed the chances of your child die because of sids multiplay by 30 Times its extremly dangerous
Being a minumalist dont meen to put your baby in danger dont be cheap and Just by a crib !!!
food is nice there are safe ways to bedshare and lots of benefits. Statistically more babies die alone in their cribs than in beds with parents. Each parent has to do what makes them most comfortable and leaving my baby alone in the basset terrified me. I’ll do the same with future biological children. My foster babies go in cribs and I don’t sleep well at all... no sleep is more dangerous in my opinion. My pediatrician knew we slept with my son and has read the research on both sides. While it’s not the choice he made for his own family, he doesn’t try to scare people who do.
food is nice I assure you he wasn’t/isn’t in danger.
This is Amazing!🤩
I love this. It’s so clean. The decals are so cute.
I love how minimalist it is! I also adore the play mat in her room. Where is it from?
It was gifted to us by scandiborn! They sponsored a video a while back when I was pregnant with Rensly. I totally forgot to add it to the kit. It’s there now!
Thanks!! 💖
I really Love this Its Amazing❤❤❤❤
