  • Here is what our minimalist family house looks like today. We are constantly updating our fixer-upper home so I thought it would be a good time for a minimalist family house tour that is current and up-to-date.

    This is the perfect minimalist decoration in my opinion. I never have figured out why no color is permitted in so many homes. I especially liked how you made the green tiles and the old style cupboards work in the kitchen. Question: do you need to rotate plants around TV out for a sun vaccination or do they stay where they are all the time?

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  Год назад +5

      Hi Jen, I usually keep the plants where they are because in the morning that whole wall gets a lot of sun. =)

      I don’t think it’s a case of no color “permitted” in any way 😝 but often people feel calmer and lighter with white and that relates to minimalism.

    So lovely; y'all have done so much. It all looks wonderful. Your house reminds me of 1940s and 50s military homes we lived in many years ago. I always loved them, because they were so well made and sturdy. We had the same kind of tile too. Happy Mother's Day

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  Год назад +3

      I have learned to really like the tile colors and vintage feel. Hopefully whenever we redo everything we will keep some of the retro feel. I hope you have a nice Mother's Day =)

    It’s nice, bright home! However, I’d move the home office to that spare space near the kitchen and turn that room for one of the older boys’ room or their collective play room.

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  Год назад +1

      I run my whole business out of this office so that would never work for us, but I could see if you didn't need quiet and only had a home computer then maybe that would work.

    Thank you for sharing. I’m 63 and just starting this journey… I can’t wait to get there! I’m allowing myself time. Still work full time, two adult kids, and a grandchild on the way. Trying to grow and preserve food for health. Small chunks at a time. My hold up is getting to donation center on my one day off before it’s filled for the day! But we will make it!

    Can you make a video on how to find art pieces? I like colorful pictures like you do. But everything is still so farmhouse style and neutral. I would love to find more paintings for my house but I haven’t had much luck. I try to buy my decor from the thrift store because I’m on a tight budget.

    Your house is so pretty. I also have a family including 3 kids in a 1950’s fixer upper, but mine is a smaller home on the east coast where housing prices are high, so we had to get creative with space too. Happy Mother’s Day!

    Hi, Shannon. Well done! You did a great job minimizing your stuff, and making a nice sense of peace and order. But I noticed that many rooms have waisted space with circulation paths... You should consider reformulating your house plan and simplify circulation. It’s a guess! Just saying!... Love you

  • @rebeccarendle3706
    @rebeccarendle3706 Год назад +2

    Your house is looking beautiful, cosy, calm and relaxing 😊. I love your yard, it is starting to look amazing to! 🙂 I hope you kept a small patch of grass for the baby/kids... it is always good to see and feel nature under your feet/on your skin and it absorbs heat. You can make insect friendly lawn with wild flowers/weeds. Unfortunately the weed sheets on your beds don't work long term.. if you google gardeners advise then say just to weed and wood mulch.. they say the sheets show through with time, the sheets STOP the rain getting to the plants roots (it gets trapped and evaporates out of the mulch on top of the sheets), so you have to water your plants MORE! (Best is through tubes in the ground that take the water under the weed sheets down to the roots). As the plants grow you have to cut it to stop constrains on the growth. The plants roots can grow into the sheets, so you damage the plant when having to remove the sheets in a few years when they start to look a mess...and much more. I have been researching because i am redoing my beds and adjusting my little lawn to be even more insect friendly.
    Minimalism does not mean using no colour!... that is just the American interpretation. The same applies to all the well known American minialist you tubers wearing a black t-shirt with jeans uniform!🙄... this also has nothing to do with minimalism which existed long before the American Maria Condo era!

    Happy Mother's Day to you and your mom. I think of your lovely home as realistic minimalism. It's achievable and livable, if that makes sense. The colors make it warm and inviting. Did you ever wonder if they even live in those sterile, white, over-the-top minimalistic houses? 😉 Maybe behind the camera they have a garage fully furnished so they at least have a place to sit down. lol

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  Год назад +3

      That does help a little with sliding, but it's mostly to protect my table. With 3 kids and lots of projects its a waterproof table protector. The nice thing is I can just take off the top tablecloth and then we are ready for a craft or project or eating something messy.
