MOVE IN WITH ME! Packing Up, Moving & Organizing Our NEW HOME 🏡

[@AshlynneEaton]

Hope you enjoy this little surprise Wednesday video! 🤍 To follow along with our journey, you can follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/ashlynne.eaton/

[@parmetuduparme3652]

Thats so awesome May you and and your husband stay together and healthy ❤️☺️☺️

[@kate-ne]

I initially had a rug under our dining table too, BUT ended up moving it because I found that it was easier to clean underneath any crumbs if there wasn't a rug for them to fall into 😂

[@beachseeker634]

This move says volumes about being a minimalist. That has to be one of the quickest moves on record. 😀 Wishing you and your husband much happiness in your new home!

[@sushreeshashwata]

I was thinking that as well. They were done so quick and also it seemed a relaxed transition as compared to the mad rush house moves are.

[@jaimemarchon2645]

Team No Rug, especially if you're as clumsy on an eater as me. The table is so gorgeous.

[@raluuca300]

In that drawer you could put the bigger cooking utensils so they won't clutter your counter space. And I absolutely LOVE this vlog, it was too short lol. I much prefer vlogs while you're moving and settling in, it feels like we're moving with you, haha!

[@sarahwollesen1990]

You can keep an oven mitt in that cutlery drawer since it's so close to the stove/oven!

[@taliafaigen]

Or dish towels!

[@ivaroa]

...or both!

[@jacquiheywood3142]

You are right.The dining room needs some definition. It looks unfinished. The floor and table are dark so a lighter rug will look great.

[@sarahambrosini417]

A table runner might bring some definition as well!

[@kayleighwerthman1977]

A rug for sure!

[@KS-me3wn]

Rug definitely

[@alessandras4289]

We got a wonderful bamboo rug from Amazon and works wonders, easy to clean and vacuum

[@MrsHannahLee]

Team Rug! It will help you appreciate how beautiful the wood on that table is rather than it getting lost in the darkness of the floor. Love y’all’s videos!

[@susie7336]

It’s so nice to see good things happen to good people. Sending love and congratulations!

[@joanmcmanus5320]

You make it look easy! I love the idea of the trash bag around the hanging clothing.

[@Livinginthegoodolddays]

I would recommend an outdoor rug for under your table. It will be so much easier to clean if anything gets spilled on it. In the drawer I would put kitchen towels and pot holders. It's right next to the oven. Congratulations on your new home!

[@ailxxn18]

That is such a good idea. I never thought about putting a outside rug under anything inside. I am 19 and when I am finally able to move out I will come back to your idea. Have a nice day:)

[@antonelabaldo7455]

My boyfriend and I are getting married on June and we're getting our house built since last July... now we already have the roof and doors and windows so we have invited our families and friends over a couple of times just to share how excited we are. I love your videos but these ones and your posts on instagram make me really happy... It's nice and amazing how we can get and feel connected with people from so far away and who we haven't ever met in person. Congrats to both of you!! And I'll have you present in my prayers 😘

[@hayleymar]

Knives could go next to cutlery in the drawer, or anything you would use while at the stove: tongs, wooden spoons, oven mitts, etc

[@AhmetKaan]

*Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go, they only determine where you start.* I hope you have an amazing day.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks for sharing! 🤍

[@alejandrarodriguez7781]

Loving these vlogs! Next to the cutlery, you can add Rev-A-Shelf 4SDI-18 16-Inch 3-Tier Trim-to-Fit Wooden Spice Drawer Storage Organizer Cabinet Insert, Natural Maple for your spices. I think it will look great and be accessible for you when you are cooking. Hope this helps!

[@JeneanMakan]

Spices next to the cutlery and use two way tape or something to keep the cutlery organiser in place so it doesn't swish around 😊

[@lauberhaus9910]

So exciting to be with you guys on your journey of moving into your new, gorgeous home! I'm not sure if anyone has already mentioned this, but if you do take the rug route I'd recommend a low pile or washable rug for the dining area. Not only for considering the food that would be dropped there but thinking about your previous video where you mentioned possibly getting a pet, a low pile rug is easier to clean from pet accidents (good for if you decide to get a puppy) and of course a washable rug can be thrown into the washing machine. Since my husband and I have raised two puppies within the past couple of years, we've gone through the gamut of cleaning pet accidents on various surfaces and the low pile rug was much easier to clean.

[@MsSerenityJones]

This made me so happy 😃 I’ve just started my journey into minimalism and we are planning on moving from the USA to New Zealand in the near future. Going minimal certainty makes moving and unpacking look a lot easier!!! Congratulations on your home and thank you for sharing

[@gage.does.everything]

Thank you for still uploading even during a big move! I know it must be stressful to balance all of that.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh you’re so kind, it’s been honestly really fun capturing it all 🥰

[@gage.does.everything]

@@AshlynneEaton Thats great to hear 😊

[@madelinesullivan5088]

This video was fantastically organized. Thanks for much with following through over the 3-4 days! So many vlogs these days are rush, comments are made by the vlogger, and never followed up on again. Your thoroughness makes this so much more enjoyable!

[@susannovak8263]

Your home is so nice - congratulations! Table and chairs are so close in tone to your floors, I would definitely use a rug. That will not only identify the area as separate from the kitchen but will also highlight your great dining furniture. There are some pretty synthetic rugs that can just be taken outside and hosed off if necessary. You might want to consider using a shelf liner on your kitchen shelves and drawers. I like the rolls that are kind of cushioning with holes in it. I bought mine at the dollar tree. Liners really reduce or eliminate wear and tear that will happen over time. I have one wide drawer where I put all of my cutlery, knives and other utensils. Other than the crock on the countertop where I put some wooden spoons and whisks, every other utensil I own is in that one drawer. Thank you for a great video!

[@hoodie6064]

Honestly whatever content you choose I'd watch, mostly here for your chill and cheery personality and life tips! New home is looking great so far! 🙏🌸

[@WhatCharlieLoves]

I think a rug would look really nice in the dining area! Your new home is just gorgeous ❤️

[@itsbittersweetest]

Seasoning near your stove, game changer. Cutlery near your dining table . Large cooking utensils, near stove... A coffee bar or a tea bar is a thing these days. Have fun! Living with it for a bit and than you can change it up as you please.

[@maddiemalacopa1380]

I’d love to see all things unpacking, organizing, decorating 😻

[@giana2266]

Post all the organizing, decorating, etc! :) I think a light rug in your dining would be perfect! I love your dining room set and the way your home is coming together. :)

[@Shiryone]

Bet you' were glad you're a minimalist when it came time to pack and move! Just be careful not to fill up the new home...it's tempting. Enjoy your new home, may you have many happy and blessed times in it.

[@carissaortiz7972]

What we did in our new house was put the cooking utensils into the drawers right next to the stove and oven. Keeps the counters neat and clean, but is also convenient. We have a large drawer to fit them all, so the other drawer on the other side of the stove we put the oven mitts! And yes, absolutely a rug in the dining room. Protects the floors, but also makes it more cozy and put together! ❤️

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks for all these great ideas!! I did the same thing with our oven mitts 🥰

[@arlynasrib]

For the empty space in the drawer, you could maybe add a cooking knife organizer if you want less things on the counter or oven mittens since the drawer is next to the oven.

[@karenvillanueva9984]

So nice to see you saying goodbye to your old home. I thinknits so important to do that to a space you've called home that provided you safety and security. Now onto new adventures in your new home. Thanks for sharing this milestone with us.🏡

[@alexmaira]

Congratulations to both of you! Buying a house is such a blessing! Can you make videos on how you organize different parts of your home such as kitchen, living room space, bathroom, office, etc? I always struggle with thinking of efficient ways to store things in my home. It would be super helpful! Thank you for sharing this new adventure with us! 🙏 ❤️

[@zsooofii19]

Hey Ashlynne, this is completely off topic, but I just wanted to say what an inspiration you are to me ❤️ The way you handle everything and your mindset is something I aspire for every single day 🥰

[@qtravelers473]

You should buy risers for your cabinets. You can separate small and large plates and easily access. They are game changers.

[@neysarodriguez9622]

Your house is beautiful Ashlynn! Congratulations to you and your husband. About the question about the rug under the dining room yes, an area rug would look beautiful. Love organizing blogs, I hope you have more 👍🏻☺️

[@mrs.r.1467]

I decluttered for months before my move, and there was still a lot to pack and move. I'm glad I only brought the things I was using and nothing extra. Your move looks so smooth thanks to minimalism, even with all the plants, LOL! God bless y'all.

[@chillibird2511]

Thanks for sharing - enjoy the journey setting up your home. I think the mostly used utensils that fit in the cutlery spare organizer could be in the drawer with the cutlery. What's great is you guys can set up things for you for many years to come. Instead of a rug, what about a clear table cloth to protect the wood and a table runner for an accent color

[@CorinRae]

I laughed at Christopher carrying the reed diffuser. Did he drive over with it in his cupholder? lol. Because the dining table, chairs and floor are all brown wood, I think a rug work great to visually break it up and add softness to the space.

[@sarahyma4987]

My husband said "no" to a rug but I too really wanted one. The bright white in new house is so different from your apartment. Both beautiful but a huge contrast. Congratulations! So excited for you, loving all the new home videos.

[@Huggible11]

1) what's the brand of pots and pans you use/where'd you get them 2) For that space in the drawer why not get a knife drawer organizer and move your knives if you have them in a block to there. That way you'll have more clear counters.

[@rachelweierke]

Definitely dining rug!! warm up the space a d define, like you said

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Thanks Ashlynne for sharing your new adventure. We enjoyed your vlog.❤

[@DrCarolynTheLibrarian]

when I moved a few years ago, I numbered all my boxes as I packed them and had a master list taped to the fridge. I did also label the boxes themselves with things like "dishes" and "bathroom" but having the master list helped me remember those odd things that ended up in other boxes (like how your frying pan was packed with clothing to make it fit). All in all, it made the move really easy and when some of the people helping me put a box in the "wrong" room, I was easily able to figure out which box I was missing while unpacking and find it quickly :)

[@vanillaskye55]

Use double sided tape under your bamboo silverware tray so it doesn't slide. And you can use the other half of that drawer for oven mits. Can't wait to see the rest of the unpacking. Not sure why it's so satisfying to watch.

[@daniarts3909]

I heard from a KZbinr organizer to keep things in your kitchen where you’ll naturally use them. And make putting things away super simple. Example I recently moved my dishes to be right where I air dry them. Instead of having move across the kitchen to put them away 😄 I love your videos, girl! Can’t wait to see more. I live about an hour from Charlotte in SC and I love this growing area! It’s a wonderful place to live. I love going to Waxhaw and they have an awesome naturally made good quality candle company there called The Waxhaw Candle Co.

[@mayavansuchwurthsoprano]

I love low-pile rugs in a dining area! so cozy

[@ninakricak6051]

For dining area... I wouldn't do the rug because if food drops and stains maybe.... but maybe put some felt on bottom of chairs so it doesnt skratch floors

[@lesliecarson684]

Congratulations on your new home. Maybe eventually get a rug. For now just get little felt sliders on the bottom of chairs so you don’t damage floors. ( Can def find them at Home Depot or Lowe’s). I think you should just wait a bit until whole house is put together before you purchase a rug. That way you can figure out your style and decide on a rug that you both agree will look good. It will be fun putting everything away. My favorite part of moving. I can’t wait until all is unpacked!

[@stephaniecarswell3803]

Haha I totally feel you about moving the plants! I just moved recently and on the first day, when we were just doing carloads, we filled basically 2 cars with plants! I had a ton of outdoor plant pots and 8 big open boxes of indoor plants to move! It was definitely a nerve wracking drive as I had to go about and hour and through so many roundabouts!

[@hmrishel11]

If you don’t want the silverware organizer to slide around try using Velcro command strips (one side attached to the back or side of the organizer and one side attached to the drawer itself). They’re super easy to remove if you ever change your mind.

[@karishmap6350]

Suggestions for spoon drawers : so as it is near sync nd stove it will be helpful if you add the big cooking spoons/ kitchen tools/ knife ..so every type of spoon you can find in one drawer.. Nd yes for Rug bcz that gives a specific area nd identity to the dinner area

[@nikkimeredith761]

Love this video. You asked if we were interested in a packing tips and tricks video. And yes! I have moved several times but am definitely a hoarder and working on my beginning to minimizing journey but I love learning how everyone does packing and moving differently. Also the space by your cutlery in the drawer could be your dish towels or more fancy cloth napkins and napkin wrings and placemats that way everything to set a table is in one drawer. Just an idea. Anyways, so excited for your new chapter in your new home and can't wait to see how you start designing it. Congrats!

[@angiesantacruz1923]

Congratulations 🎊 Beautiful blessings. God keep blessing you forever. 🙏☺️💝

[@debrastewart6714]

Hello Ashlynne, your new home is so lovely !! I have really enjoyed this video , you and your hubby ,have done really well. Enjoy your new home too ,I'm all the way from Australia .I would like to give you a idea lining your cupboards are a good way to protect your shelves in cupboards . It's up to you,but it does stop wear and tear on then taking dishes out everyday ,remover able lining is best to change as worn .👍💖🌟🤗

[@helenanagnostopoulou8710]

Congratulations on your new home. Hope it's always filled with love and joy. I would put plates, drinking glasses and cutlery closer to the dining table maybe above the dishwasher or next to it. Next to the stove you really need cooking utensils and maybe spices?

[@DazzleDust32]

Hi Ashlynne, it's lovely to see your new home. Wishing you both many happy and healthy years there. x

[@CandiePi2]

I would love tips on simple moving. Me and my husband are in process of building our first home right now too, and I'm just starting to declutter. I really appreciate all the videos I've already seen from you. Happy moving! I'm excited to see what it looks like when you are more settled.

[@myxochi]

Wow, 3 years! I remember, like yesterday, when you moved in there. I am so excited for you two and your new house. 🏠 blessings and love to you both from Ottawa. 🇨🇦

[@AshlynneEaton]

So crazy how fast it’s gone by! It feels so recent to me too! And love that you’re from Ottawa! That’s my hometown 🥰

[@carmenirizarry7632]

You can also add the cooking utensils to the drawer where the knives and forks are. Enjoy your new house 🏡

[@thecross2429]

Moving is one of my favorite things! I really enjoy this video! I love your house. I hope you will do more videos of your home. Smile

[@katemackenzie6477]

Ruggable rugs are fantastic for easy-cleaning (they have two layers and the top layer is machine washable!) I think a lighter neutral colored rug would do a wonderful job defining the space and adding a softer texture as well!

[@UpasanaDevchoudhury]

Congratulations on your new home ❤️It looks beautiful ! Cannot wait to watch it decorated .And waiting for the new videos you will be filming here!

[@Anna-pd6dc]

Table and chairs are gorgeous!

[@Pastelnyan]

We did a rug under our table and then we had a glass smash and we had to take it up and get it professionally cleaned and we haven’t put the rug back down. It looks better and bigger without.

[@brittanyjohnson5454]

I agree with a rug under the dining room table- mainly because you don't want to scratch up your floors. :) I don't have a crock and keep my cooking utensils next to the stove in a drawer- so maybe you can put your cooking utensils on the other side of your silverware. otherwise, that might be a good spot for trivets and oven mitts or a small cutting board. Enjoy your new home!!

[@hannahdaly97]

Loved watching this vlog of you moving. Would love to see more vlogs from you in the future, if that is something you enjoy doing. Wish you all the best in your new home

[@taerynrosewrites]

Love these vlog style videos and getting to watch you organize! Honestly my favourite kind of video to watch, and it's so relaxing since you're so intentional about what you own and where you put! A breath of fresh air haha :))

[@lourlopezsk]

Lovely lovely new home ❤️ Team no rug here. I just can't bother cleaning or vacuuming it after every meal because of bread crumbs, coffee or tomato sauce on the rug. I always go for practicality first 😁 A table runner might be a nice, simple and economic solution.

[@kristymedina3611]

For your kitchen drawer, maybe you can store reusable drying towels, kitchen clothes or oven mitts? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@meganramsey196]

This is exactly what I was going to say! And trivets!

[@doyourememberanna]

I love the idea of a rug under your table since the floor is such a similar color to your table.

[@nicolewhitman4444]

Congratulations on the house! Excited for you both 🏠💛

[@mirandabeaudry7936]

The purpose of rugs is to protect the more permanent flooring underneath from spills so I’d say it makes sense to get one in the dining room! It’s an opportunity to cozy the room up!

[@cathyjackson8021]

What a fun video! Thanks for sharing!! So happy for you all! Enjoy!

[@irinabenson9316]

In the silverware drawer, you can put oven mitts (since its next to the oven) or napkins (cause it goes with the utensils) or just other utensils that you don't want visible on your counter

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

In silverware drawer put the non slip shelf sheets down it looks and feels rubbery

[@janebarscz5130]

Your dining room table and chairs are just beautiful!

[@kate-ne]

If anything gives me declutter motivation it's watching someone move! The less stuff to move the easier the process, for sure. Congrats on the new home 🙂 I was blessed to buy my first home at 25 but we will hopefully move to our forever home in the next couple years, and keeping that in mind is so helpful for me in my minimalist journey 😋

[@lesleyjackson7691]

Fabulous video! Loved the style, thank you. Also, no rug, enjoy your lovely new house! x

[@jenniferhadley2037]

For Christopher's office, look into the color Midnight in the Tropics. I believe it's by Behr. That's the color we used for an accent wall in our bedroom and it's STUNNING. Looks great with a few plants in front as well. 😉

[@bex438]

I'd love to see a packing and moving tips video and some more vlogs as I really enjoyed watching this one 😊 Also I think a light coloured/patterned rug would look really good under the table and make the space look and feel more homely.

[@AmRiccardi83]

Yes to a rug for your dining area. I went without one of years and now that we have one I love it. It does a lot for the space too.

[@MsSculptress]

Space next to utensils good for oven glove or tea towels. Great move thank you, good luck in your new home

[@jasminew8442]

Maybe I’ve missed seeing Christopher in other videos but you guys are a beautiful couple! Congratulations on your home ☺️

[@itsbittersweetest]

BTW blinds tip. You can close the bottom half and let the 🌞 shine in but maintain privacy, that's what we do!

[@sophiamuller4627]

Yesss get a rug it would look SO good!! Maybe something that’s woven so it’s easier to clean and you can not see the dirt directly💛💛 I wish you the best time in your new house 💛💛

[@rebeccatc]

Yes, a rug would look nice and it should be large enough that the chairs do not extend beyond it when pulled out from the table. Try Wayfair or Overstock.

[@queenpeterson1976]

Enjoy your new home,God Bless y’all!

[@imannosseir6679]

Definitly get a no pile rug large enough to allow chairs to slide back far enough for comfortable seating.

[@amyli092]

Really enjoyed this casual type of moving vlog- I would definitely like to see more content like this as you continue to settle in and unpack. Congrats again, Ashlynne! 😊

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks Amy! I’ll definitely continue to share more videos like this! 🥰

[@Anna-pd6dc]

Me too! Love vlogs!

[@rettamaree1085]

If you guys do decide to put a rug under the table I would look into the company called ruggable. Their rugs are machines washable and have been a game changer in our house, with 3 kids and 2 dogs!!! We also love on a farm and I would recommend these rugs. I am so happy for you guys!!! Love you new place!!

[@carlarevie6817]

Congratulations- it’s so exciting to be in a new home - all the very best to you guys

[@sw9868]

Yes, definitely a rug! Rugs add warmth and color to a home! Otherwise it looks cold and sterile. 😉 Thanks for sharing your move- in! 😍

[@lesleycaron2396]

Great house. Congratulations to you both. As for the kitchen rug, its a yes from me. Will look amazing and addition will save the timber floor from damage due to the chairs scratching the floor.

[@edticzon88]

i know the feeling... but i'm so happy for you, and your new home is beautiful. Wishing you all the best.

[@leek7987]

Yes to a rug. It will protect the floor from the chair legs moving back and forth on the floor. Especially when the part of the leg that has contact with the floor is smaller and tapered. I learned that the hard way.

[@julia-mastenbroek]

I love the blog-style video’s! Super interesting to see! Love your channel and your calm and peaceful videos! Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@alishasharma9019]

Wow. Seeing my favourite vlogger moving into her new house gives an incredible feeling. Congratulations Ashlynne for you beautiful new home. Please upload a Rainy day vlog whenever it will rain after you move into your new home😘

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you!! And I love that idea 🥰

[@katywestwood5624]

Next to the cutlery I would put dish towels so they are close for cleaning etc, just a suggestion! ❤️ I love your Chanel so much!

[@mangisty1007]

I love Duck donuts! They are the best! When we moved, I didn’t think we had alot of stuff, but it all adds up! You guys did a great job! Congrats!

[@oliviarocks99]

My boyfriend and I are currently getting ready to move into our first home! Congrats to you guys!! It’s been so exciting to watch this journey! Also I peeped the duck donuts from one North Carolinian to another!!

[@justusewater1]

Knife block could be off the counter by using that extra drawer organizer for knives. Love your videos!!! Congrats on the move!

[@sopjoplop23]

I am one of those weirdos that loves to help move ppl! It is so satisfying helping to move and help ppl get situated in their new homes.
