[New!] Extreme Minimalist Home 

Thank you so much! :)

I couldn’t agree more :) That’s great you are working on applying minimalism to every other aspect of your life! And thank you. Have a great day!🤗

I agree! :)

Hi Lisa❤️ I’m so glad I can help you feel motivated to keep going in your decluttering journey! 😇 I post at least 1 minimalist home tour/minimalism video per week, so plenty of vids to help you along the way hehe. I loved visiting California, what a beautiful place and beautiful beaches🏖🏝 Thank you for your comment & have a wonderful day! :)

Thank you Nana🥰 Peaceful is exactly how I’d describe my new place too! Have a wonderful day! :)

This is exactly what happens. I went today to recycle store where they sell stuff for cheap to poor people, and I gave them another bag of stuff I haven't touched in months. It feels so great, you are becoming more and more free. Now it seems everything I have, I use with multi purposes if possible. For example my water bottle I use outside is also good water bottle when I sleep in my bedroom. I don't need any additional glasses for that. I still don't have extreme mindset when it comes to living, but I will give anything with no use.

Thank you so much Ika🥰 It’s nice to keep things so simple - wishing you the most beautiful day! Xx

@@gallerybyjoy you too! 😊

Hi, thank you :) Yes minimalism is much more than aesthetics, although one can indeed practice minimalism when it comes to aesthetics too! Have a great day😊

Hi, thank you for such a detailed thoughful comment! :) I'm definitely interested in combating overconsumption if possible, so it's always nice to see others who do as well. I like the idea of using reusable cloth for cleaning! I guess I could wash the rag after each use. Only thing is, I have a skin condition on my hands that make my skin crack up badly if I touch water too often. That's why I avoid handwashing anything, and I don't wash rags in washing machine because I also have to do work laundry in there as well. I do try to limit using too much toilet paper by using my blow dryer to collect dirt in one corner & only use toilet paper to grab the dirt. I can always use my kitchen gloves to wash the rags though, although it seems a bit daunting at the moment, I'll definitely consider it, thanks! As far as razor goes, I don't know if electric one can be used in certain areas of the body. I wonder if replaceable blades are any more environmentally friendly than the razor I use now. My sponge is reusable :) I did try to use multipurpose soap before! I talked about it in some of the earliest videos. I have to use disposable garbage bags that I purchase, because it's part of our garbage disposal law here. Hope I cleared up some of the things you were wondering. Again, thank you for suggestions & hope you continue to enjoy videos on our channel :) Cheers!

Yeah! Due to having eczema, 100% cotton usually is best for me :)

I addressed this very thing you’re talking about in my ‘Messy Minimalist Home’, check that out😄

You’re welcome, I love to share this aspect of my life with others :) I know what you mean, there’s always something to declutter (or at least make more efficient) when we pay attention & as we grow as people. If you can sell anything you don’t need that’s best case scenario! I don’t like to invest too much time into selling things so I usually just donate or throw away, haha. Thanks for commenting & have a great day!

Thank you so much Tara! :) I’m glad it inspired you - it’s my joy to share😇 Have a wonderful day!♥️

Hi! Thank you😇 This seems to be the common sentiment among people who are married and/or with kids, so you are not alone. I’ll make a video talking about this soon :) Have a wonderful day💜

Hi Jennifer!🥰 Omg I had no idea they had Daiso in Seattle!! They really have so many cheap/cute things. I totally got re-inspired to try futons again when I watched your recent home tour with Japanese futons :) I saw on your Instagram you uploaded a new video, gonna watch it in a bit - so exciting😇 Have a wonderful day! Xx♥️

@@gallerybyjoy Yes! I was very excited to find out there was a Daiso here! I have always wanted to go to one:)

Thank you Cindy :) Have a great day!♥️

It’s my pleasure! Thank YOU for your encouraging comment, Cat!🥰😇

Thank you! :))

Thank you so much Dia! :) I love your channel name - Frugal Life is awesome🥰 Have a great day!♥️♥️

Hi Missy Fox! 🤗 I’ve not even thought about my bathroom tiles, so cool you noticed them & love them! I gotta look at them closely when I get home today.. hehe. Thanks & have a great day!❤️

Thank you so much Sakiii 😇 Have a great day!!♥️♥️

Thank you Jennifer☺️ Have a great day!

It's my pleasure! :) thanks for watching my video

Hi Rento! As much as I appreciate all the places I’ve lived, I do prefer having less things :) I think you’re being smart in keeping the rent low in a good area. It’s extra money you can save to put towards better investments/goals. My rent is around $400-$500, depending on utility usage, which I think is super affordable. How much is rent for you? Take care🙏😊

@@gallerybyjoy Hi, my rent is 500 dollars. I could lower it to 400 easily, but I'd need to over to less populated places of Finland. I prefer to live next to opportunities and in Finland this kind of a rent is really rare at these places. Most people here are "owning", but they are just renting it from their bank. Thank you, enjoy your house!

Hehe that's totally a thing! I think any amount of being mindful of possessions is great, no matter if we call it 'minimalism', 'essentialism', etc. :) Thank you so much for your comment, it's making my day! I'm glad you don't think I talk too fast because I think I do.. haha. I will keep making videos for amazing subscribers like you! You bring flowers of happiness ;) Have a beautiful day! Annyeong~!^^

@@gallerybyjoy Aww... You're too sweet! Joy-a, fighting! 😁

@@lazvegaz 🥰🥰

Thank you so much! I’m glad my video can help with your decluttering process. It’s always so much fun to see how other people approach things like minimalism and decluttering. Have a great day😊🙏

Thank you so muchhhh I’m happy to be here & always happy to see your comment too!😉 Hope you’re doing well & have a great day♥️

Thank you so much Habesha💕 Wishing you a great day 😇😇

Thank you💖🥰

Thank you🤗🤗😇

Hehe I know right? I like it a lot, even though it was a total impulse/luck buy😇 Thank you so much! 🙏♥️

Hi Maureen♥️ My, what a wonderful compliment, thank you so much! :) I will be sure to make a video soon about purging clothes with less guilt for you, stay tuned🥰 (p.s. that’s a beautiful last name🌹). Have a wonderful day!😇🙏

Haha hi, yes I am all about things being low maintenance and easy to clean, so I relate 100% 😆 Thanks & congrats on moving into a new place! Have a great day~

Hehehe thank youu🥰🙏😇🥰

Thank you Loi🤍

Hi :) Thank you for subscribing! haha. I do like to look good with minimalist wardrobe, as much I can anyways. Have a great day!

Thank you Natalia🥰

Thanks! Good luck to you!

Hiii Anastasiya! :) Thank you so much, I love how minimal and cozy it is too - though I do miss having a view and some privacy that highrises give…hehe. I actually got it from a local marketplace - but you can search for ‘japanese style futons’ to find something similar. Hope it helps! ♥️

Hi Cindy! Ah yes, honestly it is difficult to be as minimal as we’d like if you’re living with someone else who’s not a minimalist. One trick is to create your own ‘bubble’, by challenging yourself to be as minimalist as you can be with your belongings and routines without expecting anyone else to change/join you. That’s a lot more difficult but also quite freeing when you realize you can be 100% yourself regardless of others’ willingness to help. You can do it❤️‍🔥 Wishing you the best luck xx😇

Hi Carly

Thanks! :) I actually added a clothes rack to my 'furnitures' for wardrobe, but ended up keeping off-season clothes still in the suitcase! Clothes I do wear regularly are on a small clothes rack and a basket these days. You can check 'em out in my latest videos :) Have a great day!

Thank you! I like my small kitchen too hehe

Thanks! I like living here too haha. Have a great day😊🙏

Merci🥰😇🤗

Hi :) all my clothes are in that white basket on top of my suitcases! Some summer clothes are in the rosegold suitcase. This would be a great video actually now that I think about it - thanks always!😇🙏

I could - except I don’t want to buy a big furniture like that then have to worry about moving it when it’s time to go. I did buy a ‘furniture’ recently, you can look for that video title in my latest videos🤗

Hi Carl, that's wonderful to hear! I should do the same actually, if we pause to ask ourselves - REALLY ask - "do I need this?" more often than not, the answer is "No" actually. I'm glad you're already exercising in this regard. Have a great day! :)

@@gallerybyjoy - you too. Thank you for your replies. It is wonderful to realise - gentle positive communication costs nothing, uses no plantetary resources and builds so much positivity.

Thanks! :) Have a wonderful year!

@@gallerybyjoy you 2

Thank you!! I know many folks have asked me for the purchase info but I got it from a local traditional marketplace T_T....I think you can search for 'floor bed' or 'japanese futon' to get similar designs :)

Hi~ No problem with bugs as of yet :) Yes I have some videos that talk about how I eat & living close to the market. I do drink a lot of coffee but only at work. I talk about the coffee machine briefly in my most recent live video. Couldn't agree more about the coffee :) Have a great day!

That's amazing!! You've been a minimalist for so long, I can only imagine how much it benefited you in your life :) Yes, I do want to get closer to zero waste living eventually and reduce non-organic trash. However, my goals of minimalism & where I am at the moment make things bit difficult to do that. For once, I must cut down my spending to keep my business afloat, while not compromising on my health or waste time - the best option for me at this time is buying packaged rice. I think none of us can be perfect at all times, and I like to tackle the biggest challenges I have at the time first before I try to focus on being less wasteful. Thanks for reminding me where I could improve even further :) have a great day! xox

@@gallerybyjoy Thank you so much for answering me! 😍 I feel you on the expenses and time management for sure. Also, it is not as easy to do as it may seem, right?! I started my minimalism path mainly because I was dealing with mental health issues since I was a child. I found the concept in a magazine and it made total sense to me because I needed clarity, decluttering my thoughts, so doing this kind of intervention first in my space (at the time, only my bedroom) had a great impact. But like you said, nobody is perfect, so it has been a journey with ups and downs for me. Thanks a million! ☺🤍

@@maggiemargaridaapolinario6098 I looove your comment Maggie! Yes! It’s a constant maintenance when it comes to time/expenses management - but that’s why it’s also wonderful because in life we can always work on being better every day! Not a single dull moment hehe😁 I can relate to you to some degree Maggie! I know just how much minimalism can help us with our mental state in general - like you said, more space and more clarity😇 Im happy to hear that you have been on this journey and that at least you started with your bedroom - sometimes even working on decluttering even a smaller space can offer so much relief! I have nothing but respect & love for you sharing your story, thank you!! Hope you keep going and wish you continuous growth in your life! :) xxoo🤗🤍

Hi :) Thank you so much for your kind words as well as constructive feedback! I’ve definitely improved sound quality of these hometours & always experimenting with editing(you can check out the most recent hometour I posted and could you maybe also give me some feedback there?). Have a wonderful rest of the week😊💜

Thanks! I do have a bathroom if you watch more :)

Üzgünüm, yorumunuzun ne anlama geldiğinden emin değilim. Google çeviri yardımcı olmuyor.🥲

@@gallerybyjoy I wanted to say that as I watched the video. I felt relieved.İt was a very nice video 😍❤️🍒🌸

@@gallerybyjoy I watched many videos about minimalism from Turkish RU-vidrs(İ'm Turkish) but I think your video was the one I liked the most.

Ahhh okay I see😊 Thank you SO much!! I’m happy to hear that you liked my video🥰💐 Have a wonderful weekend!! Teşekkür ederim❤️

Hi Wilhelm! Thanks, glad it’s stylish too - I feel like my style is more practical than anything but I appreciate it :) My fridge is pretty silent except sometimes it does make a noise. Havent lost any sleep from it yet. Have a great day!😇🙏

Hiii danke! :) I got it from a chain mart called Emart in Korea ^^ Thank you so much & wish you the best in your downsizing journey🤗

There’s a shower head in the bathroom, it’s funny because another subscriber also asked this question in one of my recent hometours too🤣 I forget to film it, because the showerhead is mounted higher up on the left side of the wall 🤭

Hi Grace! Actually it's cool you asked about my bowl - because I wanted to talk about how it fell apart a bit when I kept it in water for some time. Anyways, it's around 20-25cm in diameter :) I'd recommend getting a bowl that can serve both as a place and a soup bowl - and big enough for the dish you'll most likely eat in it. Hope it helps!

😇♥️😇♥️😇

Oh my bad. I’ll edit better next time

I don’t usually have quests over🤭 But the ones who do come can sit on the bed/floor

Hi!! This is bought from a local traditional market so I dont think they sell it online🥲 what you could do is actually search for a ‘floor bed’ or ‘futon’ and try to find a similar item. Thanks for commenting 😊

haha that mattress is so popular - everyone's been asking where got it! I got it from a local traditional market here in Korea, so idk where to find exact copy :/ I recommend searching for 'floor futon', 'floor matress' for online shopping and you may find something similar. Hope that helps! ^_^

Right back at youu🥰😇

I bought it from a local traditional market sorry 🥲 I know everyone asks me about it but I have no idea where they brought it from

Oh I love this question - I prefer the view and overall feel of my first place a lot! I like this place because it has less non-fixable issues like broken tiles/window(giving me less subconscious stress) Also, I love how this place is so affordable that I can save money for my other important goals. In a way not one place is better than the other, so I’d say I’m perfectly happy to be here😇 Thanks for a great question! Have a nice day🙏

Hi~ :) Otomatik İngilizce altyazıları vardır. Ama üzgünüm Türkçe bilmiyorum. Yine de izlediğiniz için teşekkürler!🙏

Haha I disagree - I do like shaving. Maybe someday I will declutter it, we'll see. Thanks for suggestion though

@@gallerybyjoy - you are welcome

Thanks! Having less stuff is the best :-)

Simple life is great! :)

Boo

Take a guess!

Oh! Those suitcases and white basket are my closet - yes I have so little clothes😂 Check out the video I posted right after this one to see my ‘closet’. Have a good one! :)

Yeahh wish bugs didn’t bite but c’est la vie!

I ordered a lot of delivery food but thesedays I do cook at home :) I have an umbrella in my backpack. Check out the latest videos I uploaded and you’ll have the answers! Thanks👍🤝

You must be one of those obsessed unchosen incels pretending to me a woman🤭

to be* oopsy😂

I don’t feel comfortable handing out contact info. Thanks!

Hii :) Thank you so much! You’re always so kind💜 Yes I do have instagram, it’s @gallerybyjoy 😇 Have a great day!
