Thank you ❤

From where you get your table and the two chairs? So nice

I love your dining chairs 😍

I so love your pup ❤.

Even I have put away everything in my house , a bookshelf with full of books that I love will be always there

Absolutely lovely! Thanks for another great video. So so relaxing and calming too. Beautiful Rain!

I use a public library, don't need an e-reader. 🤷‍♀

I really enjoy how thoughtful this video was. It was calming. I really value that. Thank you for posting

What type of e-reader do you have? Thank you for your response. Love your content and videos.

I think of "interim" items as "placeholders". I used to have a tendency to do that with furniture, trying to fill a space after a move, before the purchase of the "perfect" item. And then I realized there is no perfect. I move so frequently, and each space is so different, I've found that the longest-lasting pieces I own are the simplest and most versatile that have traveled with me thru several chapters of life. They are capable of serving many purposes, and their design, texture and color have easily fit in many different styles and served a variety of purposes, with the right accents being the declaratory style statement. I've come to enjoy the "breathing room" my decor provides. I have since learned to think of my wardrobe and my kitchen tools the same way. I have a core set or each that serves 99% of my needs. I may throw some money at that rare 1%, but it's usually a short-term expense rather than an acquisition that requires curation.

OMGoodness. Lovely video & sweet dog. Love your relationship with your dog :)

there's something beautiful about patching up old but perfectly loved items kept around that made the final cut. Thanks for another insightful and calming video <3 :D !

I’ve been grieving the loss of my Doberman Venus who I lost a few weeks ago. She had epilepsy and her seizures are how I found out I had breast cancer last year. She is my angel. My minimalism journey started 9 years ago but now that she has passed I’ve downsized more than ever before and I’m planning to start a new chapter and move to Japan, so lately I say if I can’t take this to another country it’s time to let it go. I had a lot of books also. Mostly self help and minimalism books, even a signed one by Joshua Becker and the only one I kept is how to live when a loved one dies by thich naht hanh.

Really relate to books and clothing…… have given the majority to charity shops now…… i resonate with using things until their worn out, don’t work not useful anymore…… some can be recycled which is great! Blessings 🌞🌻🧿🪬🕉️☯️🧘🏼‍♂️🙏🏽

Thanks Lindsay for another inspiring vlog…… I downsized from a large 2 bed house to a 1 bedroom modest apartment….. it’s helped my minimalist journey…… 2 years in and letting go of stuff in batches…… it’s tremendously freeing…… on a deeper level letting go of things that don’t serve me alongside stuff that I just don’t need…… it’s such a journey of learning…… I’m liking the ‘it’s not the things….. but the space between the things’ ….. blessings and thanks for the inspiration 🌞🌻🧿🪬🕉️☯️🧘🏼‍♂️🙏🏽

💚🇮🇹

Your small purse seems super practical and minimal. I know this is quite an annoying question around the internet but what brand is it? I only have one bag I would like to upgrade to fit my needs better :)

Your videos are so calm and simple, love them! 100% with you when you said: if I don’t need something, I don’t buy it……..this really stayed with me. Looking forward to your next one! 😃

Sehr heuchlerisch.

I found your channel a few days ago and I've been loving watching your videos! I find it satisfying to watch each room transform!

Thank you!

You try to tell people (especially family members getting up in age) hey man: simplify, simplify. Instead they want to fill your space up as much as their own. And you just know when they’re gone, oh boy time to go through a ton of clutter and junk, most of which collected dust and/or last saw sunlight who knows when.

Thank you Lyndsay!

What is the size of your new home? Is it a house/townhome/apartment?

its not about how much or little you have, or if the space is large or not - but what is your relationship with all that is yours? We have lived in an era of abundance for many decades that is unprecedented in history. By nature humans have learned to collect things, that being some level of pack rat can help you in lean times, and our level of possessions tends to rise to the level of available space. Its very easy to buy things, shopping and buying can be a mindless activity - the difficultly lies in parting with possessions because that requires real thought. I'm a senior and I have been downsizing for the last 10 years, rehoming and selling off the things that no longer fit my life and because I don't want my family to have to deal with a massive clean out when I am gone. I actually still have almost exactly 100 unopened boxes from when I downsized into my current 864 sq. ft. prairie ranch house with a 624 sq. ft. shop/garage. For probably two or three years my garage was so full of stuff that no cars were parked inside. Then I found magic on eBay and collected $18,000 selling off stuff until I could fit two cars inside the garage. I still have a lot of stuff to rehome and sell off (did I mention that I own five cars/trucks? - not all of which run and drive). I'm hoping that in another five years time I will have substantially reduced my possessions down to the things I need, want, and use. Its not been easy, because occasionally I discover that I've parted with something that I still need or want - but I've learned to chalk that up to the cost of achieving greater personal freedom. Its okay when I have to occasionally rebuy something that I got rid of.

I would love to have a smaller house

"The museum of ourselves"... Wowww that's a genius way of looking at it... And so true... Thanksss, this truly helped..... ❤

Thank you so much for this video/such lovely, inspiring content. I have only just found your channel and have subscribed. ❤

Thank you for another inspiring video!

💚

And speaking of books, I have just the book that would be wonderful for anyone. Stolen Focus by Johann Hari is probably the most important book I have ever read.

Thank-you. I love your "little channel." On a news diet...because it drives me crazy and creates nervous energy. Meditation helps me feel calmer...most of the time.😼Great advice. We do tend to forget what we have, when we are stuck in the middle of our monkey brain or failing to even notice our clutter. De-cluttering really helps. I literally feel the energy of the open spaces, and how it creates room for something positive, or beautiful, to enter my life. Be well. Be safe. Peace.

Thank You Lyndsay ❤❤❤ this is food for the soul ❤❤❤ And RAIN - I will be watching and rewatching this many times to remind myself about PURE JOY ❤❤❤ Thank You so much Beautiful Soul

Thank you for this video! I loved these ideas for finding inspiration. I totally agree with you.

6 th. way to get inspired is to get a copilot and life partner like the one on the video :)

Just found your account and love your thoughts. I have fully embraced slow living and mindful spending whilst clearing my home of years of "stuff" but i can feel the weight finally lifting from living this way

Such an insightful list! I'm almost 60 and just now coming to realize many of these. Thank you for sharing!

Your new place looks lovely Lyndsay. Your Mom must be happy to have you closer again too. I wish you and Chuck all the very best....and "Rain" of course. Sweet boy. ❤️❤️❤️

I didn't know you had moved until I heard from another friend. I hope that you are happy wherever you are. Thank you for everything Lyndsay. I miss you. ❤❤

Thanks

This is a very inspiring video Lyndsay. Thank you for making and sharing it with us. I just want you to know that you have inspired me to minimalize. I am still working on decluttering our home and it feels good to have the extra space! 😊 I look forward to each new video that you share. Take care. I miss you. Sending love as your friend forever. ❤

This is such a perfect video to explain the WHY of minimalism .

I moved from a 3 bedroom house to a motor home , omg I thought I had decluttered until I weighed the motor home, it was 300 kgs over weight. Lots of large items went 100 kgs lost more clothes went down 10 kgs more, I have ordered a new bed for 25 kgs not sure how much the current one weighs but definitely more than 25 kgs

Your video was one of the better videos that i have seen on sharing a viewpoint.

This is very helpful! I like to think I'm in level 3 heading to 4. But I do have some level 5 going on. 😅

Thank you for this wonderful video.

❤

No it isn’t.
