MINIMALIST KIDS ROOM TOUR 2019! Kids Room Makeover

[@ariannapflederer]

My kids are 4 years old and 3 years old. Yes they have pillows...they were at their grandparents for the day when I filmed this. They take their pillows with them for nap time! 🙃 Yes...there is a book about where babies come from. It’s just the science behind it and age appropriate. Yes there is a training potty in the corner. Again, they are 4 and 3 years old. That’s not weird...that’s just polite parenting 🙃

[@ellieanneauthor]

I love this room! It is so cute and simple, while still being perfectly age appropriate. I have 5 little siblings, (all boys 😂) and I'm used they would love something like this. The little loft is so cute and creative as well! ❤👍

[@kristinmichelleyt]

I kept a potty in my kids bedroom when we were potty training too lol.

[@averyw0766]

i have the same blue quilt that your one daughter has🙂 I LOVE IT❤️

[@dontbeadog12]

Arianna. You seem like a nice mom! 😊

[@_bewitchedbyyaz]

Sucks you have to explain yourself. Everyone’s children are so different it’s not fair for other people to tell parents what to do with them

[@dolce2398]

I asked my dad to make the loft and he agreed 🤩💕💕💕

[@ariannapflederer]

Aw that’s awesome! 💛

[@MrsARosenberg]

That closet loft!! My kiddos closet is empty too and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it. Did you have a tutorial you followed to make it?!

[@ariannapflederer]

We did not! Just took the measurements and did some figuring out! I’m sorry. I wish I had thought to film the process of it!

[@Whitney_Sews]

I love the bean bag blankst thing! My kids have several blankets they are attached to, but don't use. Might see if I can make the bag part out of fabric I already have.

[@Kalani_Saiko]

Your minimalist approach with your kids stuff actually seems to work!

[@briannacarone3378]

I love how you have made it minimal but fun. I'll definitely be using some of these ideas for my girls!

[@StarrHavoc]

Can't wait till i own my own home so i can do a closet loft for my kids. We rent right now but if i could do some personalizing their room would work so much better for them

[@kmbeautyandmore4292]

Hi there, the room is lovely. I just needed to comment that your Daisy looks exactly like my Jack Russell named Tilden that passed a way a year and a half ago. Seeing Daisy was almost startling because for a second I thought that instead of passing away maybe Tilden just moved in with you guys. Seeing Daisy reminded me that Tilden lives on in spirit. Thanks so much for posting this video. Much love!

[@ariannapflederer]

That is amazing! So sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my big guy (Alaskan malamute mix) over two years ago and it’s still so tough! They really are family. So glad Daisy could be a happy reminder to you 💛

[@mamaof7kiddos]

I love the loft and how simple everything is.

[@amandaggogo]

That closet loft is amazing!! Love the bed set up too.

[@mamatofive1]

The little loft is so sweet! How fun 😊 I love how minimal you kept the toys in their room...enough to have something, but not distracting them at bedtime!

[@becomingkirstine]

So many cool ideas. Mini loft and side table on the bed. Looking beautiful😊

[@jewelltyler3884]

This room is so cute and shows that minimalism doesn’t have to be boring! Good job!

[@LindsayC33]

Your outlook on minimalism for your kids is awesome! I love how you don’t push it, but encourage it if they chose it, that’s awesome.

[@milanwrld]

I love the idea of someone being a minimalist. They have exactly what they need and their room is not cluttered. I wish I could have that same mindset.

[@KatrinaMarie]

I LOVE how you explained minimalism and individuality. I can't wait to implement some of these methods with my daughter once she gets older! I also adore this room!

[@creativelysound]

Gorgeous, functional and fun.

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

This is so well thought through, I love their room. We are definately trying to be more minimalist with our kids rooms so this really inspired me.

[@sashaflip7450]

Amazing! Can you do a quick overview/tutorial on how you guys built the closet loft? And what colors did you use on the slats? Super cute!

[@LissiKinz]

Its a great room. Not too empty but not cluttered and stressful.

[@Nyvay]

I love it! My daughter is getting older so it’s time to change her room! This helped a lot!!❤️

[@inlov4now1]

Love love loveee the closet loft !!! Also I’m currently searching the market place for that ikea bed !!! It’s so simplistic and pleasing to the eye !!

[@iloverootbeer8]

Love this! I love how you put color into it instead of just black and white like some minimalists. Such a cute room! And OMG WHAT A CUTE JACK RUSSELL!! I have a jack Russell puppy his name is bob :)

[@mnemsmama8036]

Love what you did with the room! We plan on getting the same ikea bunk bed for our girls soon too.

[@itsrlife]

Omg! Your kids share a room and ONE IS A TEEN with a potty. You’re a terrible parent! Had to 😝😆❤️

[@ariannapflederer]

Hahaha! Love you guys 🤪

[@noemiiikgt]

we have the exact same name! (the Arianna written with 2 n) I almost never see that and especially never in a youtuber!! and I am also a minimalist

[@ariannapflederer]

Right?! Two n’s is definitely the correct way 🤪

[@chronicallymama1414]

This room and philosophy is so fun and inspiring! Thank you for sharing. I’m really hoping to implement more minimalism into my life.

[@sea3363]

The loft is my everything

[@shannontorrens1]

This is such a cute room! Great use of space. I also have color in my boys room 😊

[@FairleyMadeVlogs]

Good job! So much inspiration -we are doing the girls room soon also, tryna stick to a minimalism set up but like you said allow the children individuality! Nice work

[@ariannapflederer]

Thank you! Good luck with your room transformation :-)

[@rebeccaentrekin444]

What is it that you look for in bedding that Target does well?

[@ariannapflederer]

I’m not sure what you mean! I just mentioned that Target is ethical in the manufacturing of their own lines :) not other brands they sell, but in their own personal brands they create!

[@rebeccaentrekin444]

Arianna. I just hadn’t thought of what unethical things might be done in the manufacture of bedding, but I’m sure there are many.

[@catherine380]

Rebecca, unethical manufacturing practices would be things like child labor, unfair wages, unsafe working conditions, etc.

[@ariannapflederer]

Yes, it had to do with forced child labor, dangerous working conditions, working hours max, fair wages, exc. It’s the same type of unethical practices that many clothing companies use in their plants! And really it stems beyond textiles as well unfortunately!

[@carlyayre9609]

Love this! Plantsy Dirtsy is the best plant name ever 😂💕

[@paisleyduck]

I like how you have the beds. I have a small room for my boys and I have been trying to decide how to do it so I can fit two beds but not have bunk beds because we have a sloped ceiling and a ceiling fan so it’s dangerous to have the top bunk with the fan. Ha. Anyways, cute room. I love it and want it for myself!!!! So pretty.

[@catherine380]

This is fantastic. I need to get rid of so many toys. I have one child and I have enough toys for like ten LOL though I think about half of them were gifts from other people. What do you do for their birthday parties? Ask people not to bring gifts?

[@ariannapflederer]

When they were younger and had needs, we did this on our invites : Help Us Live Minimally! No gift is not needed, We truly appreciate the though. If you wish to still give a gift, Please consider a need be bought! And then there was an amazon wishlist with their current needs. They don’t really need anything anymore though, so the last birthday we asked for books only :)

[@ashleystroman6152]

You may have said, but is there a reason they don't have pillows?

[@ariannapflederer]

They do have pillows! They were at their grandparents house when I filmed this. They brought their pillows for nap time :)

[@ashleystroman6152]

@@ariannapflederer Gotcha...that makes sense! lol. Well, their room is precious! Well done 😊

[@dakodakoda6732]

Ok that makes total sense

[@lkonik]

Nobody is too old for naps. Do some more research. Ask your doctor. Even short 20-30 minute naps for adults are very healthy and promote daytime productivity. Young children need naps especially for their rapidly expanding brains. Not even sure why you used the word “disgusting.” Also, naps provide parents with small breaks. There are no cons.

[@ariannapflederer]

You need to calm down or you will find yourself blocked and shouting profanities at no one. Your language and comments are utterly uncalled for and full of ignorance. Do not come on here shouting claims about things that are against any and all research. There is literally nothing backing a claim that kids shouldn’t nap past 14 months old. And kids shouldn’t be in school full time by 3 years old, no child can handle that. No preschool program even does that. Day care, yes. But that’s not school. My children are home schooled, they are advanced, and it doesn’t require full days of school in a desk. I feel incredibly blessed to have the ability to stay home with my children and be their teacher. If I was really that lazy, I would have chosen to send my kids to school 5 days a week while I sit at home. Yes my kids nap, and thank goodness cause it allows me to have the sanity and decency to not speak to people in disrespectful ways. It’s one thing to reply rudely to me. I had deleted your other comments and ignored until now. But you have taken upon yourself to reply to other viewers with the same tone and I have ZERO tolerance for your behavior towards others. If you are hurt, I am sorry. But lashing out at others does not fix your own issues. Take it elsewhere.

[@hannahkamos]

Been feeling discouraged with minimizing my kids rooms until I saw this! So inspirational and I love the colors! 💛

[@animallover1454]

I love the room!! It’s amazing! Love the closet loft, so creative!

[@SophiaGrace-vw3wl]

Did you guys build that little holder on the bed that has the remote and drink cup in it?? If so can you tell me how?? My daughter has a loft bed she’s always dropping her remote in her sleep and it freaks her out when it makes that loud bang noise at night!

[@ariannapflederer]

Yes we made it! I didn’t have any build plans so it’s kind of hard to explain how. I just decided how big I wanted it based on that wall. Then used some wood scraps to cut to size. There are a few ways you can go about how it attaches. Ours just sits over the top and has a little piece of wood that hooks under the lip. They do make side tables to attach to bunk beds, but if your side rail isn’t squared off and flush with the mattress it usually will sit at an angle! I wish I could be if more help!

[@Suga-r888]

When i have kids come to I’m going to let them have a room nice clean like that.

[@f.-j.j.5738]

Beautiful room. I love that you don't have their clothes in their room. I suffer from allergies (rhinitis) and keep the bare minimum in my room. Most of my clothes and anything dust can hold on to, are in another room. I'm surprised that people are giving you a hard time about the potty. In my culture, kids will use them to pee during the night until they're 8 because parents don't want them in the bathroom alone at night.

[@ariannapflederer]

Right? Especially a three and four year old. I wouldn’t expect them to get to the potty when half asleep in the middle of the night haha. Thanks so much for your comment 💛

[@sadieporter2176]

Ohh love it ! we really considered a bunk for our girls our oldest is a month older than Aerie but she's a sleep walker so no go ! Love the little loft book nook!

[@ariannapflederer]

Oh no! Yes I would definitely steer clear of a bunk bed if I had a sleep walker haha!

[@itszoerodriguez9016]

I ♡♡♡ the loft. Its just so cute and colorful!! I wish my closet was big enough for me😭

[@1221Alice]

Looking for a suggestion. My sons LOVE their legos. In particular my oldest takes great pride in keeping his sets together. I know that, even as we reduce other clutter, we will need to keep the legos. Do you have recommendations on how to store and display legos without them taking over the space?

[@ariannapflederer]

If it were me, I would only allow so many sets to stay on display at once. But the ikea trofast systems are great for LEGO organization!

[@beautiful.life1396]

I have an under bed drawer from Ikea that my son uses for his creations. For big sets, other families have used the dining room table. LEGO is an awesome toy and it’s worth it to have a dedicated space for it.

[@magickaldust1213]

Love this room! Headed to the DIY cloud light video now 😍

[@shanti1983prya]

Very very nice as an architect and a mum just be careful when u put something near a window that elevate the "floor" risk of falling increase... but maybe they are big enough to be careful

[@shannonyang3651]

Love the room. I am considering the Kura bed for my two boys to share a room. Are you concerned she may roll out of the top bunk since the mattress is very high?

[@ariannapflederer]

Nope! She stays put on a twin on the floor with nothing keeping her in. And there is still a couple inch lip. I would say a 5” mattress would be ideal though!

[@xxlilylollovexx6723]

Look around Room Mother!!

[@valerieannabeth]

Can you make a video on how you made the bunk bed:)

[@ariannapflederer]

Probably not, because it would only be like a 2 minute video haha. Like I mentioned it’s just the ikea kura bed. We only built the platform that the full mattress is on. Just take the measurements of the bed and cut the wood pieces to length accordingly! We toe nailed (screwed) it in!

[@margarbieadams8200]

I really do love the room its simple and beautiful. Love it

[@ofeliaortiz9720]

Awesome room! Now, I'm jealous of two little girls. 🤣

[@chelseaadams1161]

Haha I’m not understanding all these pillow comments. Half the time I don’t even sleep with a pillow!

[@SnapszDuhh]

What an adorable little room. Awwe😩💕

[@ariannapflederer]

Thank you so much! 💛

[@Guammaine]

Its amazing n so kid friendly! I wish I could live like that I have no idea how to start!

[@ariannapflederer]

I have a video for beginners :)

I love this room! ❤💛💚💙💜💖 but why don't they have pillows?

[@ariannapflederer]

They were at their grandparents for the day. So they had them with them! Thank you!

[@TheLittleMinimalists]

Love this video. Sorry you feel you have to justify what you have in your kids' room. You are doing a great job!! We subscribed. Lots of 💕💕The Little Minimalists.

[@classicalcasa]

Very creative thanks so much for the ideas. I'm going to get a plant for my daughter's room too, I can't believe I never thought of doing that. 🙋

[@ariannapflederer]

I am sure your daughter will love it! Rev was so excited to pick it out and name it!

[@starry.030]

_imagine being really tall, sleeping on the top bed and you sit up quickly_

[@BeautifulAwakening]

Love the pastel colours!! 🌈

Thank you so much Callie! 💛

[@milliondollarmolly2749]

This is so cool, I got a lot of ideas from this!!

[@emilyrose5583]

I was just curious of where you keep all their clothes?

[@ariannapflederer]

As I mentioned, we have a family closet! Our girls are young so we keep them all in our master closet. I have a video on it :)

[@chelseaadams1161]

Thank you for sharing the stuffed animal storage sack! My daughters only 15 months and I’m already boxing up stuffed animals. She has soooo many and I can’t stand having them sit out. This will be perfect. I didn’t even know that was a thing lol 😂 how cool.

[@ariannapflederer]

It seriously is amazing!! I love it!

[@koolkidangel18]

I'm happy to have found your channel. It's hard to find minimalist videos with children

[@ariannapflederer]

Yes! That is one thing that was frustrating when I first was interested in minimalism. I couldn’t find anyone with kids or more than a baby to get an idea of how it could really work for our family!

[@shannonokeefe9456]

I love this it is totally future house goals !

[@angelaedwards145]

You are so creative. Great job!

[@LifeasBekah]

New subscriber Im learning to become more minimalist. It’s a journey!!!! Loved this room!!!

[@ariannapflederer]

It definitely is a journey! It took about 2 years before I finally got to a point that I said “I am a minimalist”! You can totally do it!

[@alyssaallegretti1998]

It's so cute! I love the bed set up. I'm thinking about doing the same thing so the kid's room can double as a guest room. How does your 4 year old do on the top bunk? I'm worried my 4 year old and 5 year old would fall off or jump off a top bunk.

[@ariannapflederer]

She does really well! She has been up there since right right after she turned 3. She hasn’t ever attempted to jump off. But she’ll jumped from standing on the ladder!

[@ReallyReallyNow]

This is so cute! How well does that bed go? I have a 3 year old son and pregnant with boy #2. They will be sharing a room so I’m wondering if this bed will be best for my 3yo. Where did you get the actually mattresses from?

[@ariannapflederer]

The mattresses are from lucid mattress. And the bed is going great! As I mentioned, we love it! Rev has been using it for over a year and a half :) She's been sleeping on the top since shortly after she turned 3.

[@ReallyReallyNow]

Thank you so much hun! I appreciate the reply. Also, I’m looking forward to cloth diaper video. Really excited to start my stash.

The one under the bed is from ikea.

[@ariannapflederer]

Yes, as I mentioned the one under the bed is from ikea and the one connected to the kura bed up top we made :)

[@mommymint]

I have a question... do they not use pillows to sleep? I am soooooo far From a minimalist. I would love to learn how to do it. But it is way overwhealming. My Grands live with us and my daughter(mom) I do have a lot of toys for them. I will rotate them around but they still have a lot. The oldest is 5.5 a girl and the youngest is 3. A boy. The toys they play with a lot are the felt foods I made them or others have made for them. Their kitchen, blocks( the giant ones you see in school or church Sunday school rooms) , They both love their reborn dolls. Etc. our library shelves are over full. Where do I start

[@ariannapflederer]

I have a video for beginners :) check it out for sure! It should help some! And yes, they do have pillows! I filmed this when they were at their grandparents for the day. They had their pillows for nap time!

[@cookies-mz5wl]

[@lindseyprice4549]

Does Rev go all night without using the bathroom? I would be worried about going up and down the steps in the dark.

[@ariannapflederer]

Yes she does go all night! But she has gotten down before, no issues. She has been sleeping up there for over a year 😉 she has her stars. And a wall socket night light. It’s never completely dark either!

[@lindseyprice4549]

That’s awesome!!

Why don't they have pillows?

[@ariannapflederer]

They do. They are at their grandparents once a week, and that’s when I filmed this. So there pillows were there for nap time :)
