[@sylviarippey6488]

I tried to use the eco friendly laundry soap too but I went back to Tide because it's the best at everything. I am so particular about my kitchen as well. I NEVER put stuff on the front of my fridge not even magnets. I can't stand clutter in the kitchen. I actually enjoy having empty cupboards and drawers. Your kitchen is beautiful! 🌿💚

[@thecapone45]

I completely understand you. Since having my own place I have been decluttering like crazy. I also hate having too much stuff on my counters.

[@paris5746]

for the bar stools if you still want fabric I would recommend microfiber, micro suede, faux suede and denim. My aunt has 3 cats and all her furniture that have fabric has either those. Otherwise if you’re good with no fabric then suggest wood

[@raniwa933]

It looks really neat without stuff on the kitchen sink. I think the kitchen is very well organized. I'm going to learn how to organize things. ^^

[@martinag5173]

Really beautiful kitchen. My doesn't have a lot of storage and is hard to store even a bare essentials in it. But I am still grateful for the fact I have my own kitchen! 😁 Love the shades of baby blue with grey. And of course loved this video like every single one you make! Have a great week too❤️

[@thesimplechiclife]

yes, that's the thing! Hardly any storage to begin with -I had to really declutter just to move in here, but it seems I'm happier with less and less all the time. thank you so much for your kind words! :) And thanks for your compliments on the color scheme - not everyone appreciates the simplicity lol :)

[@LibbyWithnall]

Thanks for sharing. Great inspiration as I keep on working to make my kitchen more minimal.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you!:). It seems there’s always room to declutter and become more minimal.

[@pamelamorrisonn]

Cat hair remover thing sounds fancy..i have lots of cats so it might be something i need😸

[@laurenboren94]

Oh the joys of cats! So many nice things of mine have been ruined by the little devils... They are lucky they are so darn cute lol 💓🐱

[@diw2756]

I love your minimalistic house ! It is so non-fussy and easily manageable; I should show my maximalistic parents! For some reason, the older generation just thinks consumption is successful and if you have less stuff, that means you are poor and broke and they respond by giving you lots of gifts

[@thesimplechiclife]

Totally agree! I’d love if you shared it with them!:)

[@yubima]

Ask them to not give gifts, or things that you absolutelly need or want. I did that last xmas and didnt recieve trash.

[@qrius90]

Now that's how i want to live

[@irishcladdagh3]

Go for it...you won't regret it 💙

[@johnentwhistlesurelysamsun1840]

Literature Addicts exactly!!

[@user-wd8sd6hi3l]

That's a good arrangement. I want to learn. I am a beginner minimalist in Korea. Nice to meet you.

[@NdnUrbanCat]

Love the chairs the cat loves!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you:):):)

[@Maya-kz1wq]

Wow... I am gonna clean my kitchen right now.

[@jacquelynbaldeongaro1535]

What do you do when you have guests if you only have two glasses and four plates? Disposable dinnerware?

[@k.l.8804]

Barstool-tip: non-textile ones perhaps? In wood or metal?

[@thesimplechiclife]

I was thinking wood! Thanks for your suggestion... great minds think alike!

[@tahiraiftikhar1800]

Like the floor clour

[@jodynoiles9445]

I think gray wooden barstools would work. And you could always get cushions for the seat for more comfort, if you wanted.

[@thesimplechiclife]

True! Good idea!! Thank u!:)

[@homevlog3578]

Very net and clean watch until the end

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

I love minimalist countertops but I also loved the candle burning. So calming and beautifully luxurious. 😊

[@thesimplechiclife]

I totally agree!

[@bilqishildakusuma4914]

I think so 😍😍

[@myshanamakisi6063]

"Soap nuts" sounds like absolutely nothing will be clean...lol 😂. Tide for life

[@thesimplechiclife]

I’ve since stopped using them. I should really update my routine!:)

[@naddylinn]

Hi i’m from malaysia just wondering after washing your dishes (you said mostly yours are hand washed), where would you put the wet dishes before arranging in your cupboards? Like from most households in my country, there will be a dish rack, on the counter next to the sink, we will leave it dry before keeping it. N usually the rack will be occupied most the time with dishes that are used on daily basis so some wont even get to go in the cupboard 😅

[@thesimplechiclife]

I just let them stand in the adjacent sink or on a towel - or I hand dry them and then put them away :)

[@candyluna2929]

I am moving alone soon with my two toddlers. Any advice for this age? Is a two bedroom apt.

[@judymccord871]

Bar stools: Gray or white wood with backs!

[@thesimplechiclife]

thank you for the idea! :)

[@irishcladdagh3]

I keep my banasa and avocado also on my counter cause I dont like them cold...but my plums pears n grapes I keep in fridge...and with that said i dont lile having anything on my counter

[@shinyestrellita]

Beautiful kitchen I truly love your style.

[@CFord-wu3in]

Love the tour! Thanks! On the bar stools, I'd go with metal ones and then put a grey cushion on each (like the kind that ties to the back or a rubberized bottom). I too have had cats, and although I loved them to pieces, they shredded my house - even on wood chairs they will scratch around the edges. Metal is kind of your only cat-proof choice that I can see.

[@teampotter9887]

I wonder where you bought the organizer for dish sponge and etc.

[@thesimplechiclife]

walmart or dollar store I think- but you can find them anywhere. Just look up on amazong over the door organizer kitchen and many will pop up! :)

[@KimCMuir]

Omg, I absolutely loved this video!!! It was very inspiring! I'm subscribing to you after watching that!!! Your voice is very calming and soothing💖You ought to try Seattle's Best Organic coffee! Now that is some good stuff! Plus it's inexpensive on Amazon💞💝💞💝

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you so much! I love hearing compliments like that, it lets me know I’m doing something right. I’m glad you got some inspiration :). It’s odd I hear that a lot - tha my voice is calming 🙈 ... I’m blushing, thank you:). I’m definitely a coffee lover so I’m going to try out your suggestion!! I’ll give you a shout out when I do!!!❤️❤️

[@KennyBett]

Your vlog is amazing!!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you:):):)

[@chantilly6727]

If you get new chairs, keep the old one so your kitty can use it as a scratching post because they need to keep their claws groomed. I threw my old chair out and she misses it and her claws have gotten so long and she won't use a scatch post.

[@davidcrandall7305]

For Tupperware try using deli containers they all use the exact same lid come in different sizes clear and have absolutely change the way that I keep food!

[@carmenjffernandez8850]

The chairs are fine. The coffee machine is not eco friendly. Cute plants 🌱 btw!

[@darinroberts3528]

Wow.. Thats a life.. I live the same..nothing i waiste...l No...staff..... Its organize....and..its Beatiful.... You rock🌍🌻😘😘😘😘🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

[@thesimplechiclife]

😊 thank you

[@michigangrandma3452]

I love your plant. Also I gave cats and I suggest you go with a nice wood stool for your counter . They will last longer with the fur babies . I M O. I love your style . You have great taste .

[@thesimplechiclife]

I was thinking the same. They wouldn’t be as comfy but they’d be much better with cats! 💞 and thank you for the kind words:):)

[@michigangrandma3452]

Hi it's me again. I was just thinking to save you money, I was also thinking you could buy chair covers (like you see in dining room chairs ) or nice pillow cases to put over the back of your stools , which would you could wash and still have the comfort. Just an idea to save money. Those stools really look nice and comfy.

[@ryderyp]

I love your decluttered and organized kitchen. Can I come over and show you how I would fold the tea towels in the top drawer and stack your pots and pans? 😉

[@thesimplechiclife]

How would you fold them??? Lol :)

[@thesimplechiclife]

I just do what works for me and is routine. Haha

[@ryderyp]

I use the Kon-Marie method for folding items in drawers. You wouldn’t believe the amount of space that gets freed up. I wish I could send you pictures of mine so you would have an idea of what I mean. Is there a way to send you an email?

[@thesimplechiclife]

@@ryderyp I've actually seen that method!! I'd be totally interested in learning more about it. Thank you so much! :) yes, you can email me at the email on my channel "about" tab. :) I would love that! Also you can find me on instagram to PM me. cody.marie.b

[@thriftdweller]

Shout-out nurse life! Great tour

[@DiybyUnclenui]

😊😊😊 V e r y n i c e 😊😊😊

[@esthert743]

Can you please share the link where you got the vacuum and stainless steel trash can?

[@thesimplechiclife]

Both are from Walmart!:)

[@esthert743]

@@thesimplechiclife In the video you said you got the vacuum from amazon ? Is this the Walmart vacuum? www.walmart.com/ip/BISSELL-3-in-1-Lightweight-Corded-Stick-Vacuum/55566580?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2194&&adid=22222222228000000000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=42423897272&wl4=pla-51320962143&wl5=9008160&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=55566580&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2tCGBhCLARIsABJGmZ6FctyoNApG0-nD-PdHinRKlUsHYttXNjE0xTrvJpF0bZiKoZdHX9gaAju1EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@alisonprovencher7906]

I know this is years old but I would have covered the bar stools with something fun and luxurious like faux fur!

[@manunteisailo4832]

Hi... what is the name of the plant in your hallway??

[@thesimplechiclife]

The plant in the hallway in this video is a Bird of Paradise! :)

[@darinroberts3528]

Beatifull place.. Heavenly.....lovely🌻🌼😘🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻

[@gabrielarodriguez-wi1zt]

how do you dry your dishes????

[@thesimplechiclife]

In this house I think I set them on a towel but in my new/current place I use a drying rack:)

[@stupid0account0name]

In London that Laundry room would cost £400 a month to rent as a cosy Double.

[@rford935]

i’m pretty sure jam is supposed to be in the fridge after its opened

[@jessicatabler5179]

yes i was thinking the same thing!!

[@marcilk7534]

I couldn’t do it. I love every one of my kitchen items overflowing from my cupboards and stuck around the house. Even though I’ve never actually made ravioli with my ravioli cutter or shaved truffles with my truffle shaver, and even though I really don’t know for sure what that thing was I got from my grandma but think it’s for squeezing citrus, I never know if I’ll want to truffle ravioli with a lemon sauce.

[@kathleenbarron7654]

Does your home have a basement?

[@thesimplechiclife]

Yes but it’s unfinished and it’s gross ... 100 year old house!!

[@debrawalker4642]

The chairs are still basically sound. You could recover them.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you for the suggestion:):)

[@sciencebased5886]

Simple and nice

[@jackiem9460]

I love your calming background music

[@nur-enazneen1186]

Best of the best🥰🥰🥰

[@almightydawnthegreat]

If you kept your bread in the freezer, it will long longer and not go stale.

[@Jasmine-jh1gy]

This video reminded me of monica geller

[@gwenvann7279]

I switched to metal stools

[@thesimplechiclife]

Also a really good idea!

[@nursen2106]

I wonder - when did the word small and simple disappear and minimal replaced them? it is totally ok to say, small or small and functional, as it is stated in the titel (50% :-) ). I personally also like the word spartan. or descriptions using plane but still chic and such.

[@nursen2106]

ah yes, now that I hear that word - essential - that is a good word as well

[@darinroberts3528]

How you make household cleaner...????

[@thesimplechiclife]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZSlo5SZiL6qrNE This is my video on how I make it!

[@ShoyahsCrazyFantasticLife]

1 spoon? What if all of you guys want to eat ice cream or drink cereal?

[@thesimplechiclife]

I was joking :p we have only one big spoon apparently, many small ones

[@moshyi]

Do you have scratchers around the home? My cats leave all the furniture alone bc they know to go to their scratchers. Also you probably know this already but make sure your cat isn't a plant nibbler! Bird of paradise plants can be toxic to cats if they ingest it

[@thesimplechiclife]

Uh oh! Haha yes she’s a nibbler but she hasn’t ever gotten sick as far as I’ve seen 😷

[@yeapeachy4487]

I don't trust dishwashers :D I only trust my hands to clean the utensils.

[@lilascharmante2712]

Before you replace those stools maybe you can try to buy microfiber covers.

[@lynneceegee8726]

Oh for heavens sake!

[@pixi78]

There was an ad every 2 minutes. Overkill

[@thesimplechiclife]

I didn’t place the ads. Sorry about your experience :)

[@333crt]

I want a wife like this.

[@mn2410]

Way tooooo many ads for a 12min video..

[@ShoyahsCrazyFantasticLife]

Get rid of the cats you’d have a nicer smelling house, no kitty litter and furniture would last longer and no cat hair messing up everything. Now that’s a clean and minimal home

[@thesimplechiclife]

I totally agree!!! Trust me if it weren’t for my daughter I wouldn’t have cats.

[@ShoyahsCrazyFantasticLife]

Cashmere and Cacti whew most ppl would’ve came for my head but yeah I don’t like the idea of cats and dogs lol I have a fish that’s about it and my little daughter that causes me to sweep and mop and vacuum around the clock that’s enough.

[@thesimplechiclife]

@@ShoyahsCrazyFantasticLife I agree totally. I like "clean" pets if any at all. And really, one cat wouldn't be bad but I'm learning that even cats are not that tidy. It's been a struggle sometimes.

[@SayuriYaki]

I understand the wish for a clean nice house and it‘s cool if you aren‘t into pets. ^^ But "get rid of the cats" isn‘t a nice advice. If you own pets you are responsible for their well-being, you cannot simply get rid of them like an old thing. There are already too many pets in shelters etc.

[@NdnUrbanCat]

Boo!
