Kitchen Tour ║ Large Family, Small House Organization

We're a family of 10 and this video is a tour of our small kitchen/dining area/homeschool room. I finally got some time when the house was quiet; this room is literally where EVERYTHING happens at this house, so it's rarely empty!

What a tremendous loss for this wonderful family. Just started binge watching this channel. May god bless the husband and the beautiful children.

[@rebeccahherdener2068]

Me 3. And amen.

[@kristiemeneker445]

Me 4..💔

[@christineferoli1750]

Me 4! ✝️🙏

[@endeavouringit]

Me 6, I stumbled on her channel after she died, not knowing, just such an unbelievable loss 💔

[@fitzg]

The leftover snack drawer situation is absolutely brilliant

[@melissagreenway7386]

Beyond heart broken for you all. I have been watching these videos for the past 2 days, I so wish I knew of these channel before this precious soul left this world to her heavenly home. I will continue to pray. Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Sending you strength and love.

[@Georgia-WRBNS]

Me too! Heart breaks for these babies!

[@susanh3602]

I do too. Such a loving lady whose life was dedicated to her family. Just heartbreaking 😞 Praying for her family to find comfort and healing ♥️

[@julieannemichelle]

Melissa Greenway I always try to make a point to check on Andrea’s channel. Even though I don’t share their religious beliefs it never kept me from enjoying Andrea’s videos. On Sunday I thought about her and I clicked on her channel and saw Andrea’s situation videos and I was completely shocked!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes and I’m still finding it surreal. She was a loving, creative, nature loving, kind hearted lady and will be missed. My heart goes out to her wonderful family. R. I. P. Andrea.

[@caroldeaton619]

How so so so many people miss this beautiful woman love going back watching her videos. She sure had a way with making everything work for the household. You can learn a lot of stuff by watching this channel. Rip Andrea missed by many.

[@laurieherring1919]

At 10:33, the story of the kitchen trash can. A smile and, "I know Tom will figure out how to make it work." That is confirmation for you. You are making it work. Love your sweet family!

[@Ciruela1]

I grew up in a hoarder house, l was the one at home who tried to make the house looked better. I had to try to organize our house with whatever I could find but they just kept bringing more and more things. I love to see an organized home even if it doesn't look like a magazine cover, but its functional and cozy. By the way how cool is to have your own fountain drink!

[@largefamilylivin9629]

Love all your videos still helping all us mums even when your in heaven god bless you and your family so many amazing ideas as a mum of 10 you have helped me so much Rest In Peace beautiful

[@pepsye1]

I just needed to tell you how amazing I think you are. Here I am stressing about 2 kids and you have 8. I can’t stop watching your videos. And you have given me so much ideas. May God continue to bless you. 🙏🏾

[@lisagraced8112]

Brilliant organization and space-saving ideas! May God bless this family as they mourn their wonderful wife & momma.

[@texastiger1210]

This wonderful family has lost such a sweet soul and I am deeply saddened that their lives are now changed forever from her loss. Many prayers going up for this precious family.

[@justlovinglife9807]

The water fountain is an absolutely fantastic idea!!! I'm going to look into getting one!!!

[@millerjoan]

I must say you are quite organized! You have a tun of stuff (necessities) but you would never know because your kitchen is so tidy. Your hubby is very clever in his contribution to help keep things running smoothly. You make a good team. And now I have a few ideas to help me organize my space. Tfs!

[@darleneklonk9128]

One of Tom and Andrea's gifts is awesome organizing skills! This video is an excellent teacher of how to make everything you need fit into a small amount of space. I really enjoyed watching it!

[@spideygirlie]

Your room tour videos never fail to amaze me. It's incredible how efficient you are at organizing and saving space!

[@margaretbedwell58]

You have certainly managed to get a lot of necessities stored, hung, basketed etc. and yet not have it looked cluttered. I wish I had your talent. You would never know that that was kitchen that prepared 30 meals per day plus snacks. Have a Blessed day Andrea.

[@jennm2689]

Thank you for showing me a normal home much like my own! We have had people make comments to us about our home being small. Our response is that we love being around each other that's why we decided to have children!

[@thisrothtribe3780]

THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN!!!!! Genius!!

[@adrienneburroughs5777]

She was such an admirable,beautiful soul. I always watch any old videos that come up in my feed. RIP Andrea.

[@joh3728]

The water fountain is a fantastic idea, also the cereal dispenser. Thankyou for sharing 😊

[@lauramilton9785]

Andrea I miss you tremendously.Thank God for your videos.I come back and refresh my memories of organizing.The kitchen is so clean.I need to do mine for fall.You were amazing.I love you ....still.....💞

[@peaceforall3122]

She was a beautiful person....RIP sweet daughter of the most High our Heavenly Father Yahuah ❤

[@sylviahatfield4451]

I thought Andrea and Tom did a fantastic job with the kitchen 😊 it works! If it ain't broke don't fix it! I love the ideal of the water fountain and the trash bin. ☺️

[@tobymarley1]

What a beautiful gift. I try to find something online for small kitchen organization and look who popped up. Still giving me tips all these years later.

[@g-bgcg]

So unbelievable how organized this kitchen is for a large family. Such good ideas. I just starting watching this channel when I saw the video of Andrea’s passing. Such a creative and talented lady. Plus she made everything so cozy. Prayers, love and hugs to the family as they adjust to their new life. 🙏🏻❤️

[@honestmomvlog]

That cook book holder is genius!

[@robbien.3964]

Honest Mom Yes, I added that to my kitchen remodel wishlist!

[@sandiemom8888]

Tom I've been watching Adreas vlogs for a long time. I've been rewatching them over again and it feels like I'm watching them a first time. I continue to pray for you and your children. I cry for the loss of Andre. She was one of a kind. I too am a momma to a large family and I'm homeschoolimh my youngest but I can't hold a candle to Andrea. I've done some videos about Andrea because I want others to know about what a loving woman she was and to have more ppl pray and give to your go fund me. Much love to you and your beautiful children. I'm always here if you need an ear.

[@emilylauren8782]

The improvements you've made on your home are lovely. It's amazing what you have done to improve and enhance what you have.

[@hangtoughhomestead2229]

Thank you for sharing! You are REAL and that is so refreshing. Your philosophy is what we used to see in our parents generation. You are younger, so your grandparents generation. Function above looks...Yet, your home is adorable! My husband was one of 9 children and his parents continued to live in a small home...using the basement for bedrooms and the attic for storage as you are. It worked. They had such a close family and loved their parents very much! BTW, it wasn't always lack of funds that made that made that generation live that way...They just were NOT "keep up with the Jones" people. They were not materialistic, and had their priorities straight. "Enough is as good as a feast."

[@rsislandcrafts]

Contact paper would work well for your plastic wrap box. Then it could be easily wiped clean. Maybe use some of the little kids artwork or their handprints under the contact paper. The Dollar Tree has designer contact paper if you don't want to use the clear version.

[@ames218]

Oh how i miss seeing her beautiful face! Thankful for these videos, she was such an angel on earth and now in heaven.

[@JenninKanata]

Must of the missed this video of your old once I do like your vitamin / spice drawer and very cool you have a water fountain. These videos will help your family know where things go while your gone . You will be missed hugs

[@jennilulu6692]

You have an incredible gift for problem solving! Thank you for the inspiration ....and have a joyful Easter!

[@lindaspicer1472]

Put a second bathroom in your basement. My cousin did and it was a God send with their family of 6.

[@darcydanh8918]

I also have a large family of 9 people and watching your videos really helps me get organized and gives me great ideas

[@vernamyspencer2158]

I love it! I have watched several of your videos and have enjoyed seeing how you use your space. I am also a mother of eight and we live in a small house though my husband is a farmer. I have been on a mission lately to simplify our living space and will soon do some major work out on the detached garage to get rid of a lot. Your videos are inspirational! Thank you for your hard work.

[@larastimpson4427]

Your organisation videos make my heart so happy. I love it and your ideas!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Very organized and efficient! Love how you and your husband made things work for your needs! Love the practicality! New subbie! tfs hugs-josie 😊 💟 💜 💕

[@asiawilliams8386]

He did a good job on the cabinets by adding the glass. It looks customized. I love the pot rack. I'm sure it's very sturdy.

[@candicejaeci]

I’m so heartbroken 😭

[@1TwinkleC]

Me too.

[@candicejaeci]

@@candicegolden4733 oh hey, Candice lol thank you! I love yours as well 😍

[@thefranks8726]

The spice idea is GENIUS! We love Asian and Indian food, and so I have a RIDICULOUS amount of spices in my pantry, and cooking with them requires a lot of “back and forth” putting bottles away. This is genius. I’m going to steal your idea :) Your organizational videos are like a pinterest thing, but yours actually work! Also, we use a large flower pot for our utensils. My mother used a (clean!!) vintage diaper pot for hers. Yours is pretty too :)

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

A place for everything and everything in it's place.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Andrea, it's a little spooky there with not a single child! LOL! xoj

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I took the video on Friday night when Tom was out and the kids were in bed. Thomas had a friend staying over and just as I was taking a picture at the end, his friend came in to get a drink from the water fountain. I couldn't believe it that I made it through without anyone appearing! Well... I did have to stop once because Tom called, but that was it.

[@galady8632]

Andrea Mills .... I thoroughly enjoy your channel. I learn something each & every time I view and/or return to again view your videos. Our lives are vastly different. I admire you, Tom, all 8 children and your extended families. Thank you for sharing your amazing lifestyle with your many viewers.

[@sandiemom8888]

Like everyone else I'm rewatching all the videos. It's very hsrd for me as I'm a crier. I have a infectiin caused by a tooth being pulled almost 3 months ago. And cryong makes the infection worse as my sinus was destroed so its hard to breath as it is. So I'm trying not to cry. Nice seeing others watching too.

[@desireesmanyhats9468]

I love the way that you maximize the space that you have. I have a very small kitchen that I have been doing that with for years but you have definitely given me more ideas. Thanks for great videos.

[@bearyBEAN15]

I love how simple y'all live so you can spend money on needed things!

[@pjl2963]

What a feast for my organization-loving eyes! Like so many others have mentioned, you truly have a gift for organization! I love your kitchen...so homey and inviting...and so clean, considering 10 people live there! I can't wait for your fridge video...seems like I'm constantly re-organizing my fridge...I could use the help, lol!

[@pennywitt2258]

You are a delightful genius.

[@emmalenekipfer708]

I really like how you make whatever you do have work for your family. Great job and inspiring!

[@simplyraisingarrows7369]

Love the drinking fountain! I have dollar store cups with magnets hot glued so it sticks by our water in the fridge

[@lynnwilson665]

Thanks for this tour!!!! I want to organize my kitchen (in a small house) and you gave me great ideas😎

[@laurastafford6217]

Cool water fountain idea and trash can idea. Still missing you.♥️

[@geometricfro8768]

Definitely lots of clever ideas! I especially love the water fountain idea!

[@jodyjohnswilliams9832]

You are incredibly clever! Thank you so much for taking your time to show your organizing ideas. I got some great ideas for my own kitchen. Love your videos very much!

[@babynursegreen3193]

I love your kitchen tour!!! You have made such a great use of all of the space!!

[@GrammyVulture]

That table is beautiful. I wouldn't give it up. Also the fans and the pot hanger looks great with it. Wow!

[@kristielagasse3127]

Your kitchen is so cozy and welcoming. I love how you have it organized and efficient for your family.

[@mrsgundlach1]

i miss you so much

[@DorsettDoorstep]

Wow, you are so inspirational! I love an organized functioning home. The water fountain is genius!!

[@DorianParpari]

These are some really great ideas. I love what you were able to do with each space.

[@LalaCats3]

I am new to your channel and I appreciate your generosity in giving us detailed tours, explanations, and advice. Thanks!

[@TheMoyersFamily]

WOW!!!! I love the organization for the spices/medicine that you use for everyday..

[@SweetlyHome]

I just love the efficiency of your kitchen! You've maximized the space so well. I love the snack drawer idea! We actually had a similar situation with the rotten meat in the freezer thing happen to us. We did a huge renovation that required us to move out and while we had cleared the fridge of food, we had left the freezer full (power on). It was an unexpected renovation due to issues so we weren't thinking clearly. Eventually the power was shut off or the fridge was unplugged- I'm not sure - and yep, gross city! We couldn't afford a new fridge so we gagged our way through cleaning it. Worst smell ever!!!!

[@heathermicola3894]

Another great video filled with lots of great ideas like that drinking fountain. Thank you 😊

[@Mmolesy]

I can't help but laugh at all the ONE BATHROOM??!!!?? comments. I am the mother of 9 kids and we just moved from a 3 bedroom, 1 bath house. I didn't have a dishwasher so all dishes had to be handwashed. And up until a couple of months before we moved, I got a dryer. :-) you just make do. it's challenging but doable. Blessings Andrea.

[@n.a.garciafamily]

You never cease to amaze!

[@amygamso3678]

Love love love you and your family. Such a sweet kind hearted soul. happy easter

[@anavalj]

It is pleasant to see how you and your husband has organized your home for all of you (10!!! mamma mía!!!). We are at home 6, so I always enjoy seeing how others have managed to get their families organized. My respect!

[@DeeplessPurple]

I feel like you are Molly Weasley of muggle world.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I _so_ enjoy you saying that! One time I told Tom if I were to identify myself as any fictional character, it would probably be Molly Weasley.

[@DeeplessPurple]

You're exactly like her, you both have large families and large hearts with full of love enough for everybody ^^

[@amystewart6193]

That was really fun! I've been wanting to see your kitchen.

[@kittycatlion8498]

great use of space, love what you done with your kitchen

[@TheNicoliyah]

That cereal dispenser is genius! Love it!

[@atdepaulis]

Love how frugal you guys have been!!

[@rebornsnuzzles2573]

Oh my gosh. The tins for the bunny are amazing. What a great idea.

[@lindamcclellan8434]

Thanks for continuing these videos what a lot of great ideas. What a blessing. Lord be with you Mills family.

[@1TwinkleC]

Love the shelf for the bread, great idea.

[@melissasfrugalfinds]

I love everything about your kitchen! You have thought about everything! I really like the drinking fountain, spice drawers, treat draws, cereal dispensers, pot hot rack.... everything!!!! Great job!! Oh the frig freezer meat story was very funny! I'm glad it all worked out in the end!

[@JMichellesSpot]

So glad I found your channel. Awesome organization skills❤

[@MsTheresaone]

Just found your channel! You are the most innovative person I know and I love that. It is a gift and a blessing learning how to mold a small space into working for your family. God Bless.

[@martaaberg3330]

Andrea, I just stumbled upon your videos when I queried 'sewing'. I am enjoying them immensely. First and foremost, I love your calm voice. I am the daycare for my three grandchildren (5, 9, 12), and find my voice going nuclear way too often these days. From now on, every time I feel my patience vanishing, I will think of you and get a grip. For your rolling pins, you can sew a multiple pocket sling to hang on a wall or the front of a cabinet door just by hemming the sides of a length of fabric, then folding it up and sewing across the top of the fold for as many 'sling pockets' as you need. Put all the pockets on the same side to hang on a flat surface, or alternate sides to hang from that gorgeous pot rack. Oh, and that water fountain? That is brilliant!

[@sirenxo]

You're so cute. I really enjoy your videos and love to see how close and loving your family is!!

[@kjlouisi4630]

loved he tour and picked up some ideas!

[@bosherjesse9362]

I love the bunny and compost bins!

[@simplegrace2235]

I forgot to message Andrea about our compost toilet the first time I saw this video!! :( well....hopefully Tom reads this now. We raised 8 children in the same size house! We had a little composting toilet in the basement for dire poddy emergencies...it worked great! We also put an antique dry sink down there for washing up :) super easy and inexpensive set up

[@Jenn2004kuz]

I love watching your videos- you are so much fun!

[@jillbrown9045]

I love your vids!!! I get heaps of motivation from them.

[@CookieCrumbFun]

I LOVE the snack drawers!!! I am going to use that idea. My children have little bits of leftover snacks they buy and that is a great place to put them. Thank you again!!!

[@willothewispl]

Your kitchen has so many nice things put together to make it all work. Great video.

[@cherylannjohnson8801]

Wow! You are amazing! I admire how well you keep your kitchen nicely organized, with your large family. That is not an easy task. You are a hard worker and I hope you take some time to be good to yourself. You deserve a relaxing bubble bath!

[@renee72]

Love the pot rack and the spice caddy is so resourceful.

[@blessedhomeschoolmommy1453]

Andrea’s appliance stories were hilarious!!

[@MegaliciousTV]

Your organizational skills are awesome!!

[@BooksandButterfliesBookstagram]

It is interesting because I can see there has been change in the kitchen even since this video was made. Lots of good ideas!

[@catwispr536]

This is a wonderful video and easy to get ideas from. I also have just started watching this channel and am heartbroken for your beautiful family and Andrea who was taken far too soon. Blessings, peace and strength to you all.

[@hopekegebein1311]

Wow, she was so organized! I am inspired!

[@cindyreid7892]

I loved this video .. what a great organizer Andrea was .. ❤️

[@nicoledemana]

where I live we have hard water and we have a water filter built into the sink and the dishwasher has special salt and rinse aid. I love listening to your storie of how you aquired things and how your aunt and uncle gave you their kitchen and you made it work great videos keep doing what you are doing I am racing through every vid you have made, you make me smile thanks for sharing your lives with us God bless

[@faukerconsulting835]

I love these videos...such an inspiration!!! 🤔🤣The refrigerator story reminded me of the time we were gifted a refrigerator that had the same situation as we call it where king crab legs and shrimp were left for a couple of months without power...you could smell it from the outside before you even opened the front door...needles to say, PASSED on it😉👍🏻

[@ecmomma]

Thanks for the bread storage suggestion. We went to Home Depot today and did the same thing! I was so sick of stuffing all the bread and buns into my overfilled pantry. Now I have all the bread right by our toaster!

[@babynursegreen3193]

Andrea, the Kitchen table that Tom made is so functional and pretty. Why don't you just stain it and seal it and use that instead of buying a new table?

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Tom's the one that wants a nicer table, but I'm sure we'll end up using this one much longer than we originally planned. That's usually what happens!

[@happythreadsgirl5645]

Andrea Mills I love your long table. I bought a 8 foot long butcher block tackle in 2002. It was the best investment ever. We tell our two boys that when move to a smaller home that we will cut the table in half. Our younger son says he continue the tradition until his descendants have a coaster.

[@trishawalsh9102]

Such an amazing woman taken far far to soon, I know you will be watching over your hubby & children & helping steer them in the right direction but such a huge loss to this wonderful family. Rest in peace Andrea, sleep tight. Xxxx

[@locostasia]

I really like your kitchen Andrea, Very nice!

[@melindalaverdure2131]

ask Tom to build a box for your cling wrap, or use contact paper on the box to make it pretty and easy to wipe down when need be.
