Thank you for presenting your home and the reasons for your choices. I hope you are feeling better soon. Your son's age is a wonderful time of life and it is touching to see how much of your home is centered on him.
@truuluvv The home is designed around his needs and ease most. IF I had money and owned the space, I would have included a built-in sofa space and a murphy bed with storage and a Murphy table with folding chairs on the wall. That, at least visually, would look more appealing, lol.
Been waiting for this, awesome! You just might consider switching those plastic containers to glass ones. Huge problem with plastic used over long period of time, add heat and physical damage. The thinner it is, the worse it gets. About used teflon pans - there is nothing to worry about, we don't metabolize teflon so it's safe. Cheers!
I loved this video and in general your videos are very inspiring to me. You are a very lovely and brave person ❤Thank you so much. I have a problem with overconsumption especially with perfumes and beauty items in general. I hope I’ll be able to reduce my possessions. Having all those items makes me feel stressed, but when I have less I feel stimulated by other beauty channels and buy more stuff 😢
Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing. We have a couch in our living room that seldom gets used. Someday when we downsize, I would choose to not bother with a couch and replace it with a couple more chairs. I actually spend most of my sitting time at our kitchen table. I read and watch RUclips there. It’s where visitors tend to sit also.
@BonBonLove375 REALLY HARD. I can't wait to downsize further when he's older and we don't have all the 'short/young people extras', hehe and can just use the same damn knives and toothpaste. 😅
@@extrememinimalism my kiddos are all teens and it is way easier as they have gotten older. I think raising this way from the start is key. They are naturally minimalist now.
@@extrememinimalism yep. It’s constant. I’m trying to use up my paint in the house. I’ve bought too much and stored it for too long. Now I just want it gone.
@LanaMinimalist Right now, it's quite a variety as I love toast and my toddler loves dips. USUALLY, I try to keep one of both at a time and be slow at replacing them when I run out.
Great video Nicole. Thanks for the shout out! Kitchen is looking awesome, it's so organised and everything has it's own place which I love. Do you own Xmas decorations? They in the shed? I totally forgot to mention my shed in my videos so I'll have to do that video at some point but it's so gross in there I rarely go in there if I can help it lol 😂 Hope you're feeling better x
@@minimalismandmore no. I don't own any seasonal decor whatsoever. I might if Harry shows an interest in the future, but not right now. hate storing stuff like that when it's not needed for emergencies or accidents.
@traff1986 a really boring but very crucial first step is to ask yourself WHY? What is the god damn point in decluttering? Is it for the trends? For the style? To make routines easier to follow? To save money? To downsize? To spend more time doing fun things? To reduce pointless stress? After that, I figured out how that life would look like practically. Is holding onto 2 toasters what you imagine when you want less stress, for example, in your life?
Interesting video, I can appreciate the practicality of only having what you use and need, cleaning (and moving if you ever need to) must be so much easier like this. I have a few questions about your son and how he's going to grow up in this environment. I see he has some toys and books, and that's great. How do you plan on dealing with it when he gets older and wants more things, or starts comparing how much he has to what other people have? If he is gifted items by other people, will you let him keep them? How much say will he be allowed over his own possessions? And why so much white? You can still have minimalism with some colour you know ;) All the white makes the house feel very 'other', which while it might just be a style preference for an adult, seems like it might have an effect on a child. Not criticizing or anything, just genuinely curious about what I've seen here
When he is older, he can decorate his room however he likes and keep as many things that will fit into his room as he wants as long as he can keep things tidy after playing as long as he likes them or plays with them and they fit and aren't broken. For now, I don't want colour at home (even if I did paint it, I only considered navy blue or grey, maybe beige if I changed everything to a wood color. We are exposed to colors everyday, through his books/toys/ststionary, bluey and ms rachel, window views and being in the real world so he has plenty of access to colours. I don't understand what you mean by 'other'. Most of his toys are from others. We keep what he plays with and discard the rest. Thats why we have so many ride ons lol. We tried posters with the ABC 123 colors and objects but he kept tearing them down in the living room and then they would not stay on the walls.
As for comparing himself... its an opportunity to teach him a valuable lesson that he doesnt need everything just because other people have it and if you really want it, you have to think about, earn it (chores, good behaviour, wait for mummy to be paid etc) or wait for it. :).
I like to see normal people's homes. Not super consumer or overly decorated. Very sensible and a nice example for your son ❤❤
@@IsabelChavier-Geist Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing your place Nicole! Seems minimalist apartment tours like yours bring me so much peace 😌
It's interesting seeing how little I have by how long it took to film and describe *almost* the whole thing.
Loved this video. I enjoy watching how much or how little belongings other minimalists have. It’s inspiring to keep declutterring.
@@Simple-annie Anything that might encourage you to declutter? 😉

I'll be replacing them with stainless steel over time x
I love your place. It’s so cute and tidy and perfect for 2

@@laurac56 The exact same as me, plus mine are hard sofas, not soft at all.
Thank you so much for sharing! Your home tour was very inspiring. It’s so hard to find extreme minimalist families. Take care.

Loved it. Very informative and inspiring. Makes me realise I’ve go a while to go.
@@thegoose8545 I still feel that way too haha x
@@extrememinimalism yep. It’s constant. I’m trying to use up my paint in the house. I’ve bought too much and stored it for too long. Now I just want it gone.
@thegoose8545 Relate to that. I AM lucky my sandals broke lol, so one less thing to store.
Thank you dor sharing! Nice to see how other people live in a more minimal way with children. Which spices and condiments do you keep?

Thank you for the tour :-). Lovely to see UK minimal homes :-). I aspire to minimise more and more and so tours of others homes is so inspiring:-).
@@summersday1455 Awe, I hope it helps 😀
This is very interesting, thank you for sharing :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
For your experience what are the firsts steps to begin this journey? Nice video !
