Your house is so lovely and welcoming. I always think its so funny how Americans always refer to their homes and rooms as ‘small’ etc. when in reality they are normal sized esp compared with the rest of the world, and the rest of American homes are ridiculously large. Esp your bedroom. It is perfect sized as a master bedroom, no extra space needed. I have no idea why people need these huge master bedrooms! Just more space to fill with furniture that is rarely used!
You are so lovely and have a darling home. I love that your children have books everywhere. I just spent the afternoon in hospital emergency care and I was the only one there with a book. a habit of a life time (grab a book) and my own (grown) children are just the same. If you have a book then you are never alone.
Way back on 2011, we took our 3 middle school aged kids to an all inclusive resort in Mexico,... I remember a mother of kids similar in ages to mine, coming up to our family... we were all on loungers, beside the pool, with books, READing... which is normal in our family... she mentioned how nice it was to see a family reading books, as none of her family did...and how all She wanted to do, was sit by the pool and read as well! Our kids saw my hubs and me, with books and enjoying reading... I guess we passed that love on to our own children!
I really like how your organization systems are not bought kits; all matchy matchy. Your look is timeless, and to me it seems more accessable than spending thousands at the container store or somewhere similar. Thank you for all of the inspiration.
You have a beautiful home, but what i love about your home it’s a real home your kids get to do what kids do, play, so many people nowadays are so precious about their stuff, children cannot use their imagination’s and create, home is soo important these days Hilary, not just because of covid, you have a wonderfully organised home, thankyou for sharing, it’s very much appreciated x take care x
Love your home and a great job in keeping it well organized. A organized home is like a well oil machine. You and your husband are so wise for being so young, you know your priorities are your family. Thank you for sharing 🎖
When I’m feeling like we don’t have enough space for our family and find myself wanting a bigger house, your videos really help me come back down to reality to appreciate what we do have and figure out new ways to make our space work. I love your home so much!
We are renting a renting a 2400 square ft but we are about to start buying a 4 bedroom 2 bath 1585 square ft. I’m like omg I’m not trying to be ungrateful but our two oldest sims will leaving in a couple years so yea. I needed this video
@@leele2579 layout makes ALL the difference in a home, especially a smaller one. In my experience, a 1600 sq ft home can feel very spacious if it's laid out well.
I love how realistically everything is organized. It's functional and lovely. I also live in a small-ish home of 1500 sq feet for our family of four. Nice and cozy and not too overwhelming to clean!
I just stumbled here and watched and loved it so much! Reminded me of when my kids were young and I homeschooled them. All the little learning corners, dress up, books and nooks and up cycling of sturdy old vintage items as well as furniture for their eye level and how they see the world. It was like a trip down memory lane for me even though it’s your house so thanks for sharing !
Never realized how much I was going to miss a basement til I left Jersey. I think I promised myself I wouldn't keep so much stuff, yet here I am 18 years later with a lot of clutter. We are on a cement slab with only an attic space that no one wants to go up to in order to store stuff. I'm just rewatching some of your videos today.
I love how your house flows. You put a lot of work into it but it looks effortless. Is the house 1600 sq. ft. including the basement, or did that renovation add additional square footage? I personally like a smaller home - less to clean, LOL! Have a blessed week. - Arlene
@@OldWorldHome Hilary, I never realized it was 1600 including the basement :) I absolutely love your home and even though it is small, I find it cozy and inviting. In all honesty I feel that smaller is better and is there is less to clean and more time to spend together as a family
I just love your home and how you have embraced and value simple living. You aren’t trying to buy, buy, buy and you cherish what you have. You style is stunning! I am motivated now to pair down and make the most of my small home. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Hilary, I love how you use simple storage solutions that don't cost a lot or take a lot of time to make...like the boxspring idea for the girls toys. I so wish I had thought of that idea when my girls were young. It would have made clean up so much easier.
You're so well-organized. I love seeing how you make it possible to have a good-sized family and yet live in a neat, clean, and functional home without thousands of extra square feet and added junk. The basement turned out beautifully.
Wow you have some great organization ideas. I'm starting to declutter our house and this was great motivation for me. To strive for simplicity and keep what the family needs.
Your home is lovely and cozy! Great idea using the box spring for storage under the beds. I have started seriously decluttering and organizing my home since December. Still so much to do, but definitely starting to notice things are better because when I do my weekly cleaning in the rooms it doesn’t take as long because I’m not having to pick up and put as many things away as I used to.
I love your channel! I think what I love most is the fact that it does not look cookie cutter like every one else’s home out there, mainly - totally gray and black, that’s getting so very boring to me. I love the character you guys have added in every room. It’s warm, inviting, and looks like you really care and love your home and family. I hAve a difficult time picking just one room I like the best, but I’d have to say it’s your bedroom. You both do such a great job! Hugs, Grandma
Definitely needed video as I organize and create a more functional home... Thanks for the tips! Also, mentioned you when I share a fridge deep cleaning on my channel. I love using an open container to store my eggs😄❤️🌻
Absolutely love your home. Always have (It’s Valerie, changed name for privacy ). The box spring cut out under the bed is genius! Love your storage solutions with kids. Great ideas as well as maintaining functionality. My home is not big by American standards but it is enough for us. I do have to declutter often and always looking for different storage solutions. 👍💕
I love your beautiful home and I love all your videos. I love your grateful heart and your example of living a simple life within your means but making your house a home for your family!
Your home is so lovely, beautifully decorated with great organization. I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Amazing built in job, love that!
We were a family of 4 living in an 1170 sq ft condo for 18 years, very comfortably. Since my husband passed away, our children and I sold that home and moved into a 1400 sq ft new build home. You have a lovely home. The only thing I would have done differently in your kitchen, is the island. The way the chairs are is just too tight of a space, in my opinion. For me, and my family, I would reconfigure that. tfs 🥰🌵🌱🍀🍃💐🌷🌸🌞🏜️
Love this!!!! I feel like you give us so many ideas...We live in a modest brick home that is 1047 sq. foot. I often wish we had more space but you show how lovely a small space can really be.
When you opened your night stand drawer I noticed your childhood books…did I happen to see The Man Who Cooked for Himself? That was my older sons favorite book and I found a copy a few years ago to give as a Christmas gift. He was so surprised!
So beautiful, Hilary! I'm always inspired by your home. ❤ I've watched you from the beginning and the way you've honed your style is so amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. We live in a similar size home with a similar layout and I love seeing how you utilize the space. I've also been watching your basement reno and have been making mental notes for our future basement finishing! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
i love your home. You have achieved the perfect balance of simplicity and heart-warming Charm. I am glad that i can visit it over and over through your other videos. all the best to you.
Good Morning Hilary 🍀 Such sweet memories are made around the kitchen table in a home filled with 💚 Thank you for blessing my life and taking me back to beautiful memories 🙏
Having a finished basement with a full bathroom is a game changer for sure, for if you want to stay in your sweet home, along with all your kids indefinately!,...who will soon be teenagers, and want to be downstairs... instead of with you in the kitchen, upstairs! Do you also have property? Or is your house in a subdivision?
So in love with your home and jealous of that basement! I would love to finish ours, but the ceilings are too low for my tall husband to enjoy spending time down there if we did. Oh, well, at least I have a washer and dryer down there. 😅
We just bought a home with low ceilings. My husband is 6feet 4inches. Our goal is to rip out the ceiling and paint the exposed wood. It will give him more headroom and create a loft-like feeling to the basement.
This is incredible! Attractively decorated but not overdone, organized but not anal. I love your mix of vintage and modern, and especially with the basement, you gave yourself room to grow. Very, very well done.
Ahh! So lovely to see a small home that’s organized and inviting. We are a family of seven in 1800 square feet (also one bathroom, which I like because I always know when it needs to be cleaned ☺️) and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am a little envious of your basement space but we make do with what we have.
That built in is great! My favorite organizing tip was to use those box springs for under the bed storage. I wish we could make our basement like yours! We're a family of 6 in 1,600 sqft (not including our sort of partially finished basement), but it's only a 2 bedroom. 😳 But we do have 1 1/2 bath rooms. 👍🏻 Our 3 girls (10, 8, 3) share one room and our son (5) has his own little niche in our bedroom dormer. We are elitterally in the middle of finishing every little thing to sell our home soon.
Hilary, your home is beautiful!! The basement renovation has added so much useable space and room for your family to stretch out in! Being organized is key and you have scored HIGH in that area!!! Your family is blessed!!
I love your house, but mostly I love that YOU love your house. It shows in every corner ♥

I always love seeing tours of your home. It's just so cozy and full of character, not to mention super organized!
I just love your beautiful home. The school teacher in me loves the way you model and encourage reading. It is such a precious gift to give your kids.
I love your organized home. It's beautiful, cozy, and your love of your home shines through.
Well done Hilary and hubby, so neat clean and comfy..tfs!
The built ins were a great addition!
Beautiful home tour, Hilary! What a transformation you and Dan have engineered! Many blessings to you and your sweet family! Thanks for sharing!

I love the built ins. We have some in our home and I love them!! I’m still working on decorating them ☺️💖
I love the table and chairs!
Thanks, for sharing. It looks Great! Love the huge/extra space, it has doubled your room with the basement being finished :)
You’ve done such a great job with your home, it’s beautiful!
Perfect! And lovely. Great job.

I want to finish my basement to make it more functional
Are you reading the forgotten garden?! That's my most favorite book of all time (2nd to Pride and prejudice!)
Yes!
I love your home & how well you keep it so organized.
How many days of outfits do you have for each of your kids? I think I need to downsize.
Same 🤣

I feel like I want to go around and organise my own space now thank you xx
