My husband, five month old daughter, and two cats live in a 728 square foot house. Since I started the decluttering process, our house feels BIGGER! My stress levels have significantly gone down and I feel like I have more time because of it! My best tip to give anybody starting out is start with an area that is high traffic and not sentimental, like your clothes or kitchen utensils. And take your time, don’t feel like you have to have that perfect minimalist house in one day. It takes time, and is addicting once you get in the swing of things! Also, try your best not to buy anything you don’t need in the process, that was my issue when I first started! Look around your house and try to use what you already have. 🥰

I recently started doing that, as well. I love it! I have a cabinet full of casserole dishes I don’t use but my husband is the cook around here so he won’t let me get rid of any. 🙁

If I store food storage with the lids on, I throw in a paper towel or napkin so it absorbs the food smells that permeates and never leaves the plastic (including plastic lids on glass food storage.) It's like if you go on a long vacation and you empty your fridge, you clean it, you turn it off and shut the door.... when you come back, it STINKS. The plastic absorbs smells. So food storage does the same thing. Throw in a piece of paper and it won't smell.

Best tips I have for the kitchen so far is to load and start the dishwasher before bed each night... And to color code everyone's plate/bowl set and put away any extras for guests... so for example if there's a dark blue plate left in the sink we all know dad didn't wash his plate and if it's pink we all know it's mine and I need to wash it lol... It helps encourage everyone to be responsible for cleaning their own dish.

Color-coding kids cups was life-changing! Previously, my kids (5) would get out a new cup each time they wanted a drink, because they couldn't POSSIBLY risk drinking after someone else! Now we have 2 cups in each color. They leave them in a certain spot in the kitchen for reuse during the day. I know exactly who to tell to pick up their cups when I find them elsewhere!

I'm sorry, but one of the best parts of this episode was seeing mess before cleaning. Knowing that your house can look just like mine gives me relief, now i feel like "ok, that's normal with kids, that's how other houses looks too".

Would you possibly do a little house tour of your minimalist home? Kinda like an update from your first house tour?

Literally cleaned out all my kitchen yesterday and moved everything around to make it more functional yesterday and I love it already, I love baking and I used to have stuff in all the cupboards and drawers for it, and we have this huge corner cupboard that was just full of junk, so yesterday I went through all the baking stuff I have and emptied that junk cupboard and turned it into my baking spot, everything I need in one place.

Thank you for making me realize that my normal is the normal for you and many of your viewers so that I feel ok to be group normal. At my age of 80 I’ve always felt if I don’t get things right the first time I am afraid to try again. But discovering your channel through ClutterBug came at the most appropriate time. I’m in the process of downsizing so I can sell my home and get something smaller as a home base while car camping the country. So as I declutter my 45 year old (kitchen first) home your intelligent suggestions based on your personal working solutions makes it OK when things aren’t functional.

When I started watching this I was thinking "I've just decluttered a ton and my kitchen is just too small, there isn't much more I can get rid of." Afterwards I've realized I have a few big pots I don't use, way too many knives, two sets of measuring cups and measuring spoons (though I often do use both sets at once) and multiple spatulas. I'm going to go through and do a minimal mom style quarantine of those items for a few months. I'm seriously lacking for storage space and counter space so anything helps.

@RachelRhodesbud

3 жыл бұрын

The quarantine is a great idea, just to make sure before they actually disappear forever! I thought of doing that with my leftover containers - after I go through and organize them with the lids on!

We always had too many people over to just keep dishes for us. My kids were always bringing someone home for dinner and the weekends--well let me say we rarely were just by ourselves. I am glad it works for you.

I have watched you, Dawn, the minimal mom, Hilary, old world home and megan foxx unlocked for at least a year and most of you longer. It is great to see you all collabing!

I don't own more containers (glass or ceramic, stored with lids on) than could fit in my refrigerator at once. Yes, I went through the trouble of fitting them in, just so I know how many to keep. There is never going to be necessary to fill my refrigerator with leftover containers, so for sure I don't need the excess. A tip for making life easier in the kitchen is to clean utensils, and dishes, and pots while I cook, as I go. The moment I'm done cooking, there is nothing to wash or clean, but the counters. A great tip that Cassandra is using to keep her house tidy at all times is "don't put it down, put it away". I've been using that for a long as I remember, I just didn't have a catch phrase for it.

Yes, I put the container with lid together make life so much easier. I reset my house every night like wash dishes, clean countertop and table, take out trash, put things back, clean bathroom toilet, sink and mirror I like to wake up to a clean house 😁.

I'll say this; this is true minimalism. There are a lot of folks on KZread who think they're minimalist because they're organized, or because their decor is well-chosen. Nope. If you're shocked and disturbed by the thought of getting rid items until there's nothing on your counter, you aren't a minimalist (at least, not yet). And that's okay. At the very least, this is inspiration to de-clutter.

“Here Mommy” that was so adorable ☺️

I’m a believer! I have switched over to keeping the lids on my food storage containers and I LOVE it! I got rid of all the hopeful lidless containers and damaged, worn out ones and made room for this style. I even returned some to their rightful owners that made me feel great! We love the difference this has made. I recommend people try it before they knock it.

Decluttering and deep cleaning my kitchen is on my list this week, and I’m dreadinnggg it. But I know it’s contributing to my feeling that my house never feels clean. Thanks for the inspo 👏🏼

A really good solution to the tupperware-lid-problem whilst having one of those super tiny kitchens is storing the bowls inside of each other and all the matching lids piled on top of that stack. Yes, it is a bit more of a hassle to get that bowl and matching lid out of the cabinet when you'd like to use it, but it still keeps bowls and matching lids together and worked really well for me when I was living in a tiny apartment with next to zero storage space. Also, I really love your "clutter free doesn't mean perfect all the time or no work" disclaimer at the end of your video :)

You are so right about the effect of keeping items off the counters. I’m not quite a 100 percent yet but close and already noticing a difference! I started storing food containers with lids a couple years ago! To help keep the refrigerated tidy, I designate one shelf to strictly leftovers. My eyes are now trained to check it out first before deciding a menu plan! Thank you Natalie for your enthusiasm!❤️

I love how you pointed out in this video that having a minimal kitchen doesn't mean it will clean itself! Lol What it does mean, however, is that once it's transformed into a functional space then you will be so much more motivated to keep it that way.❣️

After I view Japanese and Korean house tour, I dare say they are really completely minimalist clutter free. It's a habit and culture for not buying anything until much thought is put into it.

I clean out the fridge and pantry weekly. I am a single party household, and I like to keep ahead of the cooking!

Boy do I agree with you: we have too much food storage that we don't make our way through and it rots! You're the only one in this collab whom I've heard articulate that obvious fact. TFS! (:

Breathing room in cupboards is more valuable than a back up item ! Inventory management. I love using risers or helper shelves to give cupboards some breathing room. Keeping the sink and counters clean is huge. I empty the dishwasher each morning and set up tomorrow’s coffee. Thank-you Natalie !

I've learned to clean my kitchen every night before I go to sleep. I don't sit and rest until I've cleaned the space- it has brought a lot of peace into my life surprisingly!!

I moved from a 3 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom unit. I had to streamline everything due to lack of storage. So all extras went to a local Lifeline store. A great way to declutter.

Oh Natalie, I had declutter and organized the whole house. But what you say, does make since. The house we moved into, the people left dished, furniture, shelves. I mean A LOT..... The kitchen is the only room I have not done yet, now I have ideas going through my head. Thank you! I may have to watch it several times!

I watched this yesterday while cleaning up after dinner, and you motivated me to move both my air fryer and my kitchen aid off of my counters and to store them in the cabinets instead! I also decluttered some of my cabinets and now my kitchen feels so much more neat and clean. I love it!

I’m motivated! I thought my kitchen was organized but after watching this it gave me new ideas! Genius Natalie!!

I stack food containers separate from lids, but I choose to have almost exclusively 1 size/shape container in a medium size so it is a single pile of each. If I need to store large amounts I just use 2 containers. One of the best simplifying choices I have made.

Starting a kitchen declutter and re organization process today- so timely and helpful!

You are such a motivation because you, like Dawn, help make minimizing seem more realistic for families. One thing I was surprised by was how much money we saved by having a minimized kitchen. Before, there were so many nights when I would ask my husband to just pick up something for dinner on his way home because the kitchen was a disaster and I would have to clean it for an hour before I even had enough dishes to think about starting to cook a meal. Minimizing and having a cleaner, more manageable space means we eat at home and save money and eat healthier.

Love the idea of being honest with myself about what appliances, gadgets, number of place settings and serving bowls I actually need and use often enough to justify the amount of clutter they cause. It makes sense to me so I will be looking at those things with different thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

How refreshing to see your family being active in that clean space

One of the best things that I have heard you say was in the video of what you learned. It made me feel so free to hear you say that decluttering is not one and done, and that it is a process - and that the more you do it, the more you realize what you can let go of (and what you actually want/need that would make your life more functional and beautiful!) I would feel so stressed or like a failed when I had to go back through a space - but now I realize that being minimal is an evolving process!

It’s amazing!! I also love the space in the cupboards - I used to think I needed to fit it all but the truth is its nice to put a dish away without feeling its cluttered or going to fall out when you open it. Amazing feeling! 😁

When my husband was dubious about it, I piled up every container we owned at the time - with their lids on - to prove that we had more than three times the amount of containers than would physically fit in our fridge at one time! Insane. Plus now I am using glass I like that it reduces the risk of chipping t hem to store them with their lids on.

Thank you for sharing! I am totally using these tips today to declutter my kitchen. We currently live in a 37 ft travel trailer while we save for our home and this was exactly what I needed tips on. Again, thank you so much for sharing and cant wait for the next video!!

Great video. Clearing off all the silly magnets and papers from the fridge makes the kitchen look so much better. Clearing off the counter of appliances was a game-changer. Love the channel!

Love the clear counter look!! Going to try this in my kitchen ❤️
