- We wanted to give you a full walkthrough of what our home looks like after 4 years of minimalism and organizing it. We are a family of 5, so this hasn't always been easy, but the more we minimized, the easier it became! This video is part of the Mega March Motivation hosted by @TheMinimalMom
and other amazing creators.

Hope you enjoyed our “organized” home tour ♥️. What are some areas your struggle to minimize in your home 🏡 ?

my biggest struggle area is toys 😫
My lotions, body sprays, hair products and such
I teared up a bit when the wife said "nothing makes you buy fast food more than a messy kitchen". I can totally relate to that. I'm on a minimalist journey myself. Glad I came across your video and I've subscribed.
Aww we are so happy you found us ❤️❤️.. we are happy we get to be a part of your minimalism journey 😊
For real I have ADHD and my executive function can be so awful. If my dishes are not clean I don't have enough fuel in my mental tank to do dishes and make food.
Seriously!! I felt that 😪
And being away from home.
So true, I feel the same way.😊
We’re going back to the basics as we’ve discovered consumerism is messy , stressful and expensive.
It really is, you’re so right Rebecca ❤️
I love how both of you are in it together! So inspirational!
Thank you 😊♥️.. we love doing this together!
I love seeing a young couple come to the conclusion that minimalism was the right thing to do. Sometimes we complicate things and they don't have to be complicated. Great job family! Beautiful home
You are so right... thank you for this sweet comment ❤️
I'm 20 with 2 toddlers and I came to that conclusion at that you can't keep everything at around 15/16 and went through phases of cluttered and then decluttering ... now at 20 my home is very minimalist for a family of 4 in under 700 sq ft 2 bedroom house x
You guys are awesome. Most couples with young’s kids just put up with the mess as “that’s life” but it doesn’t have to be. Very inspiring!
Aww thank you 😊❤️.. of course young kids will bring messes with them.. but it’s definitely possible to keep a minimal home to make it “less” that way 😂
"Nothing makes me go get fast food faster than coming into a cluttered messy kitchen and having to clean before i can cook a meal." GIRL! You just totally spoke my language!!! Subscribed & rang the bell right there my dear - YES!! ^_^
Hahaha I’m so glad we can relate 😂❤️
Your apartment is beautiful! Your filming and editing is really good too. This is the first I’ve come across your channel and it makes me want to leave my house and everything in it, and start fresh, with a minimal space. Lol.
Aww thank you so much ❤️... having a minimal space is so worth it 😊
It's funny once upon a time I would have thought all those empty surfaces was cold and empty looking, but now I think it looks amazing. I still have things out but it's so little compared to what I used to have. Loved seeing your home.
We were the same way, Libby! Funny how we all change ❤️
So cool to see you as part of this collab with Dawn from The Minimal Mom. You guys definitely deserve it and I hope your channel grows even bigger. Such an inspirational couple.
We were so excited... thank you Heather ♥️... so glad to have you along the journey!
Congrats on being apart of Minimal Mom's Playlist. I love your home tour....it gives me so much motivation.
Thank you Linda ♥️.. you can do it!
Every time I watch your videos it makes me want to declutter a little more each time. Thanks for the motivation to remove the things from my life that add stress for my family of 4!
♥️♥️.. you can do it!
What I really like about your videos is that you do them together. ❤️
Wouldn’t have it any other way 😊❤️
Good job! It is nice to see the Dad involved. May your family be very blessed!
Aww thank you Theresa ❤️
This is perfect minimalist video I hv ever seen
Awww thank you Harjot ❤️
@@TheArmsteadFamily 🌸
From The Netherlands: great to meet you! Love the fact that you do this TOGETHER! Bless you!
So great to meet you as well ❤️... we love doing this together!
I also have three children. 3 kids in 3.5 years. I also have minimal things. My best compliment was when an acquaintance stopped over and asked if we were moving....lol!! I feel less is best!
Hey Michele ❤️ wow!!! You’re in the same boat as us!! Isn’t it funny how our homes can throw people off when it’s minimal and spacious 😂😂
Also am a minimalist, mom to only one toddler but it is overwhelming. Came from a 2500 SQ ft to 669 SQ ft apartment after separating from her father. This was definitely inspiring as I sit here decluttering again
This is the first video I have seen of yours. Your home is so peaceful. I love it. Congrats to you both for embracing minimalism. I wish I would’ve known about it when my kids were young.
Aww thank you Christy ❤️❤️... we are really happy we have the opportunity to do this now with the kids 😊
Wow! Thank you for sharing all that with us. It is so good to see a family of five with young kids do what you did. Inspiring! Your video gave me 'permission' to not have things like a throw blanket or a kid's dresser just because that's what everyone has. I have let go of other things like 6 sets of silverware or 12 mugs that matched the dishes and I thought that was revolutionary (thanks, Joshua Becker)! It is funny how new and strange the whole concept of minimalism can be to some of us and how sometimes I need to be given permission by a stranger that it's ok to let go of an item.
This is so sweet Lisa ❤️.. we have definitely felt the same way. When we hear/see someone else no longer keeping something we would and seeing them still “happy” and “ok”... we would always be like wow!! I guess we can do it!! 😊
Omg, this video spoke to me 100%! I'm sitting on our couch, surrounded by clutter! I've been working on decluttering, but still have so much more to do. We're moving in a month, and I'm determined to move less than half of our current stuff!
Hey Amber ❤️.. so glad you enjoyed this video. Moving is one of the best times to declutter 😊
Amber O'Leary that's great declutter before you move,I never did that and moved from family home into small home and I'm still decluttering 3 years later.God bless
Love you guys! What a beautiful family! I love your serene space! I have found that toys impede our children's play and so with each child we have reduced our toys ...now with 5, we hardly have any, they play so much better together, deeply, imaginably, creatively! Our kitchen table is a castle, a pirate ship, a plane... anything their minds can muster up. They don't need THINGS to play imaginatively. I wish I had known that before I bought out ToysRUs.. but live and learn:) You guys are ahead of the game!
Aww thank you so much! 5 kids woah!!! We need to learn from you 😂❤️
Love this!!! I love how more & more people are getting into minimalism 🤗 so many have a misinterpretation of minimalism... also kids don't really need as much as we think. Often they have soooo many toys and just use 2 or 3 lol. God bless you and your family!!!! 👍🏼
Cool editing skills too btw
Yes! We noticed that too, minimalism is GREAT for families and kids truly don’t need as much as we think... thank you for the sweet comment 😊❤️
I give you guys a HIGH FIVE for being such a GREAT TEAM. Stay Blessed and Safe 💞.
Love a couple doing minimalism. Very unique
Thank you Fritha ❤️
Wow, this is really refreshing, I love this! We also have s family of 5, and I could not agree more with everything you have done. From the limited bulk items you keep at home, to the clothes that you keep for the kids, all spot on! Now if only I could get my wife on board...
Y’all are incredibly motivating. The house looks so good!!
Thank you, Mary ❤️
You guys are great ! You will help so many families. I love that you do this together. Love your place.
Awww Daisy thank you... this comment is everything... we just hope that through our story, other families can see the peace that minimalism can bring to any home ❤️❤️
It's so exciting that the two of you are both on the same page! Great job! It looks amazing!
Love this video!!! 😍 I love these videos of your organized home tour! I agree having a clean minimal home is the best!!
♥️♥️
I love that you gave very specific, tangible ideas for beginner minimalists. I've been searching forever for a video just like this. You have a lovely family. Thanks for sharing!
Yay!! So glad you found us ❤️
good job owning the master bathroom Mom, If you can say, "It was really my fault" you will have a long and happy marriage.
Loved this video!
And so glad to see that you're part of the collaboration with Dawn!
I always look forward to both of you all's channels uploads!
We were so excited 😊... thanks for watching Claudia ♥️
I am really impressed! You have done a wonderful job achieving a clean, minimal home!
Love how you both take turns to share details about your organized home. Thanks for sharing. Discovered y’all due to Dawn and the Mega March Motivation playlist. Keep up the great work and thanks for your ideas.
Yay! So glad you found us ❤️
I’ve watched so many videos of how to be a minimalist for myself and trying to put that with my family it’s been HARD! I’m so happy I found this channel I’m binge watching ❤️
Yay! It definitely can be done as a family 😊.. takes a little more TLC ♥️.. glad to have you here, Marissa!
I don't have kids but the way you describe your journey and previous issues is so relatable. Makes it easy to immagine the situation and draw parallels, and get an inspiration to just get up and do the same...
It's also easy to adjust the ideas (like: kids' room vs. Home office, playing vs. Working,boxes for toys vs.binders).
Thanks!
Yay! That’s exactly what we’re hoping for 😊❤️
Such an inspiration, moving to a new space soon and this is just perfect advice, can’t thank you two enough!
Thank you Jacob ❤️
This was super helpful!! The before and after of the kitchen/dining area looks soooo much like mine right now and it stresses me out. Thank you for showing and sharing your space!! ✨💟
We have 5 kids in a 3 bed house so I know the struggle of trying to keep each room with one purpose but sometimes you have to improvise.
Every room you showed looks great. Beautiful family!
5 kids!! That’s amazing... having a family and keeping the home tidy is definitely a challenge, but thankfully when we started to minimize everything it became much more manageable ❤️
Thank you for sharing and being so genuine. Your story is motivating and helpful.
Aww thank you Gretchen ❤️❤️
I love this! Thank you for your transparency. We're just now out of the baby/preschooler phase with our kids and looking at this video made me wish I could have seen this ten years ago when I first became a mom. I knew about minimalism but I didn't know many people living with a family in apartment like we did for 11 years. Keep doing what you're doing. Your calm voices and inspiring tones are so encouraging. I love seeing the clean kitchen the most!
Awww thank you Emily ❤️... we love this comment so much. Even hearing you say that is so relatable because even we think about “what if we knew this sooner” all the time. We are just glad that we are where we are today. We are really happy you loved this video... and I think all of us with kids can truly appreciate a clean kitchen 😂😂
Just what I was looking for! I live in a smaller house. It’s four of us going on five and the system we have isn’t working! I know the moment the next baby is here I will be up to my eyeballs in stuff I need to clean. I have a really hard time getting my husband on board with decluttering the kids stuff. The kids have the most stuff in this house. So motivating to see your family!
Thank you for all the tips! We are a family of 4 and a puppy learning this new lifestyle.
Also wanted to let you know that I learned how to make my own cleaning products. You can google but are very simple ingredients like cleaning vinegar, dish soap, baking soda. I have children also and those commercial products are scary once you become a parent. So glad your son is well! God bless you all.
😊😊
Very helpful video, especially with school starting up! Need to simplify even more! Thank you for sharing your home!
😊😊❤️
Love minimalism 🤩
The best video and message I’ve seen in the last days. Thanks🙏🏻
This is my favorite video on your channel! I’m so motivated to declutter more. I’d love to see a detailed tour of each room, especially the kitchen.
Hey Becky! We have a minimalist kitchen tour video which is just a couple videos back ❤️
The amount of stuff you have looks so wonderfully manageable. 👍👍
Thank you ♥️.. since we have kids, we try to declutter often to keep that peace in the home 🏡 😊
Great job parents! Lovely family I’m so happy to see you are both realizing that minimal is perfect for your family. So great to see what you’ve done..definitely have that safety of placing your chemicals away from the young ones...great job! 😊🙌🏼💝
Thank you, Jen ❤️... it really has given us that peace we’ve wanted most for our family 😊
Love how you work together as a family, our family would be like this too! ❤
Aww thank you Natasha❤️... you definitely can do it 😊
I love that you are both in these videos! It's great to see husband and wife so on the the same page!
Aww thank you so much ❤️... we are so glad we are doing this as a team 😊
I really enjoy watching your way of
Living. Thank you! God bless you all! 🤗
Awesome decluttering! Congrats to the Armstead fam! 👍👍
Yay thank you 😊❤️
Love both of you. Doing things together.
Awww thank you ❤️❤️
Beautiful. I wish I would of known minimalist when my kids were small. 😍
It’s great that you’re doing it now 😊... it really has helped us with our kids small ❤️
Your apartment looks great!!! I admire you guys as a couple, working together🥰
Aww thank you JoDeane ❤️
Super cool. Your home is such an inspiration. Your color palette is gorgeous and you both seem like wonderful human beings. Yay you!
Aww thank you, Andrea ♥️.. so glad you enjoyed this tour 😊
This is so motivational and inspiring...
even before the trend of minimalism my husband hs always been so practically minimalist all his life and i get annoyed at that time but now I appreciate him more and realize that being minimalist is living a simple abundance the very basic necessities.
That’s so cool.. some of us already lean in that direction. Making an intentional effort has really helped us keep our home this way 😊❤️
This is impressive! Kudos to you both.
Love your video home tour😍, some great storage ideas. Hope you’re channel grows keep up the good work 🏴 xx
Aww thank you so much ♥️
So inspiring and useful, thank you guys!
Aww thank you Viktòria 😊❤️
Bravo! 👏👏👏And blessings on your marriage and family as you work together in creating your haven💗
😊❤️❤️
I really love your home - thank-you for sharing!
Thank you Marie ♥️
Hello, I’m a new subscriber.
I can relate to you guys so much! I’ve barely started my decluttering/organizing journey, and I’m just taking one day at a time. Therefore so much I need to do, including new habits I need to learn, but if I keep my eyes on the goal, then it’s definitely worth it. 😊
You are both very inspirational, I have been on my minimalist journey for a few months now, it has been amazing, I had enough stuff to fill a large 5 bedroom house but we live in a two bedroom house. I have sold and given away 80% of all the stuff. Life is good.
Well done! You place looks amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Diana ❤️
I do not have kids 😞 but i enjoy and love watching your busy life with your beautiful
Children. 😊❤️ Thank you for sharing
Your house is beautiful! I aspiring to the same. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Instant subscribe! Love your personalities and how genuine you guys are. I'm not a fan of "perfect" minimalist RUclipsrs and you guys keep it real.
Aww thank you Kayla 😊❤️❤️❤️
New subbie here. I really enjoyed your hone tour. We’re just starting our minimalist journey - same reason why: kiddos. We started off in control but now it’s gotten to the point where we are managed by our things. A few months ago I picked up around the house three times in one day and really watched my kids play. It was eye opening. They’d pick an ugly plastic toy up, put it in mouth, and then chuck it down. Repeat. They weren’t playing. They were just touching. All day I watched and picked up and thought about how tired I always was and how my brain felt cluttered like I couldn’t make a decision because there was so much visual and emotional clutter. That’s what started it off. I’d box up those annoying little people dolls and all the broken or missing stuff and they wouldn’t ask for them and I got braver over time. I’ve reduced by about 50% including our adult stuff and I am feeling sooooooo much better. I have more to do but if this is the start I can’t wait to let go of more. And omg I love how much easier it is already to clean up
Yes!!! We felt the exact same way. We had no idea how much exhaustion was caused by the visual clutter and the constant picking up toys and things we didn’t know we had all over the house. It sounds like you are on the right track ❤️
I love this and am inspired!!!
Bravo!! So excited for all the money you’ll save living this way.
😊😊❤️
I love it 😻 thanks for sharing. I love your kids room.
♥️.. it was definitely a journey 😂
I’m so happy for you guys 🙏
Thank you, Mari 😊
Such a beautiful home 💕
hearing you talk about your kitchen makes me realize that the reason why i struggle with finding cabinet space to store items from the counter is because my cabinets are filled with items we dont even use whereas whats on the counters are used daily...but i have a hard time getting rid of whats in the cabinets because although we do not use them often , they come in handy when they are needed lol
ill have to make some tough decisions
thanks for sharing !
Hey Angelica ❤️.. yes that is the hardest part! We definitely struggled with this and still do time to time. It’s easier to make that quick decision of “will I even use this in the next 30 days?” If not, you have permission to get rid of it 😊
All your "befores" reminds me of me 😅.
My daughter's room is so filled with toys that the door cant even open. Toys have taken over every part of my home, especially the living room
My place will only be clean for a day and then get messy the next day.
I'm on a decluttering journey. I hope to become a minimalist one day.
Thank you for sharing your home!
😊😊 thanks Chelsey ♥️
This video is amazing! As a mom, I feel like all I do is clean, and clean, and clean some more yet my house constantly looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. It's so overwhelming and stressful at times... Sometimes, well most of the time, I find that minimal videos seem too extreme or not functional/livable. You've gotten your home to a point where it's realistic and achievable. I'm about to work on one room at a time and hopefully I can get our house on a more minimal journey.
😊😊❤️
As a parent I can't agree more! I followed Marie Condo tips. It made decluttering a ton easier. And she explaines the emotional part. Now, Less stress, less cleaning time, less anxiety from cluttered home. Often it is all junk clutter.
After implementing mininalism, clean house most of the time, even when it is 'cluttered' I can set it up in 10-15 minutes, if totally messy 30 min max. before tidying up would take couple hours. As a Mom I am certain clutter was affecting my cortisol levels. I did want to spent more time with family, with myself, at the same time had to keep the house clean and often I would procrastinate and end up with not presentable home at all. Now it is fresh and calm 90% of time and kids learn to be organised and grow to love tidyness, clean environment and adds up as a bonus when they watch you and learn not to spend money on junk and be mindful and purposeful, that is great thing to have. Now I don't have to re organise all that waste clutter, it is all donated, now that time goes for me , family, things I love and truly enjoy. I even started making my own art haven't been drawing since high school. I have time now for that. Home meals 95% of time. Less stressed out, happier parents automatically become better parents! And as a result happier kids! Win win!
Just found your channel, well done editing and great tips!!

Hey Natalie ❤️... then you can definitely relate!! So glad you found us 😊
the dining room table is totally real ours is always full of homework, chargers, everything like you said that no one wants to put back in the right spot.
This video was very inspiring. I already don’t like a lot of clutter but it makes me want to get rid of even more stuff especially in the garage.
Yes!! Do it
Congratulations 👏 🎊 💐 🥳 Amazing transformation!!! New subscriber.
SO inspiring…subscribed!!!
Great Video. You two are really enjoyable to watch.
Awww thank you so much 😊❤️
Just watched 3 minutes and I so can relate🤭
I think minimalism is made for familys with little children especially!
We believe the same ❤️❤️
Loved this video! There may still be some hope for me and my family 🙈
😂😂😂 there definitely is Myra ❤️
I love this !!! You did a great job editing and this is s motivating me to get rid of more. I've started decluttering but it's no where near as much as Y'all have. I need to go through the house again 😅
Hey Karrie ❤️ awww thank you so much!! Having our house like this has really helped us maintain so much easier.. we can’t imagine going back to the clutter with having 3 kids and trying to keep it tidy!!
1:44 in and i already lov u guys and ur editing
Aww thank you Katrin ❤️.. glad you found us 😊
I love that this is has been a team effort between you. It's fun to do this together. My husband enjoys a tidy home but our tidy definitions are very different. 😉
😂😂 oh trust me, we can relate!
So great video
