EXTREME FRUGAL LIVING HOME TOUR! 

I like the pillars too, but she’s raising the ceiling.

I love them too! The old craftman style. Perhaps the are holding up the roof? Maybe that is load-bearing pillars?

Yeah, it's so sad that she wants to get rid of the pillars.

Yes, I wouldn't remove them, they're cool😀

The pillars give your house so much character, like it is a Craftsman and would only make the house seem square, sparse and ordinary! Maybe lose the white and restain them to match the beautiful ceiling? It's a beautiful cute house! ❤️🩷

Congratulations! 🎉Can you offer any advice on how you got started?🧐 I have been in my house for 24 years and have too much crap also. Don't know where to begin.😱🤯😖

@@barbarabruce7648 Well I started with a Yard sale. Then donated usable stuff to the goodwill and finally rented dumpster and had it for a week and got rid of broken things, chairs, lamps, old clothes with stains and etc on them. For the past two years I have felt so free and my house is so easy to clean now. It was so bad it got to the point that I didn't own my stuff, it owned me and I was living in Chaos (can't have anyone over syndrome) . Now if someone shows up unexpected I am able to open the door wide and not be ashamed. I am 56. I only keep a few glasses, a few plates, a few cups etc. If you only have a few you wash way more frequently than if you have a cabinet full. I am happier than I have ever been when I had tons of stuff

@@barbarabruce7648 I did a purge once, really a fast. I took one grocery bag a day, no more, no less, for 40 days, and got the stuff out of my house, and don’t go shopping when you drop it off at the thrift store. I’ve had other people declutter my stuff before, but this worked, because I was making all the decisions. I now know how to identify what needs to be gotten rid of, and I’m more selective about what I bring into my home. If I bring something in, I need to get rid of something else (one in one out). God bless!

100,000 thumbs up.

YES! I so agree!!

It's her house yall if she wants them gone it's her business. I personally hate them.

I don't hate them but agree, it's her house. She does what's best for her.

Totally, very Frank Loyd Wright

I have a mirror in my kitchen too

The mirror was above the sink, so when someone talked to the dishwasher, they could look at them!!

My mom had 8 kids. My sister was a huge help. She took over most of the household chores, sort of like Alice on the Brady Bunch, so no mirror in the kitchen.

So true, my gram had a in our kitchen just for that reason.

Doesn't sound like a good time for women

Totally agree.

Me too. You couldn't pay me to get rid of those beautiful pillars! Those unique things from past days are so gorgeous. They make home feel sturdy. To me anyway. Lol. I was 8 or 9 and my parents bought a 1935 two story farmhouse with a basement. Everything was so Americana and just old. But in great shape. But over the years my parents started getting rid of the old and replacing with newer modern style. It was beautiful but never the same.

Agreed. I loved the pillars the first time I saw them and assumed you had put them in. I think they really work in your house.

Thought same. Makes the craftsman era look -so pretty.

PS….my cats used to tear up my flimsy blinds. When I bought my townhouse 13 years ago, I made the builder install the blinds with the thick slats. 13 years later, not a single one of them is broken in anyway. Might be worth the investment to upgrade.

Me too! The pillars add so much character.

If this is a “forever house,” you can do what you want. But if it’s a “passing through” house…you need to think about resale and those pillars are a great selling point.

I do not like them at all.

​@@PrepperPrincess if you can take them out in one piece, you might make some bucks off of selling them. People seem to really like them.

I hate them and already consider them gone. It's MY house.

Why do you hate them?

Love pp house the way it is. All clean and decluttered .

Yes, I hope she keeps the pillars

I AM NOT KEEPING THE PILLARS!!!

No no don't get rid of the pillars.😭

@@PrepperPrincess There's a Save the Pillars campaign going on in the comments section. You have to listen to your constituents.

@@PrepperPrincess Well, okay. I see you are adamant about it. Lol.

No.

@@PrepperPrincess can you donate them to architectural salvage? Please

I'm in the process of moving too and I need to get rid of a lot of stuff myself.

Right? 😂 Love her!
