Last night Randy cleaned the dishes, counter, and stove while I picked up toys and cleaned the floors. Our girls sat in the bathtub giggling up a storm. It was a magical 30 minutes to hear them having fun while we listened to music and cleaned. I could interact with them from the other room. Cleaning took no time at all. It’s lovely living in a small space. -L
Some backstory...
Going furniture free allowed us to test the theory of being in a small home.
We bought our house in 2014 and in 2017 when we sold it, we got rid of most of our furniture and paired down a lot of the junk that had accumulated. I had been really curious to take a stab at the “furniture free” idea I read about from Katy Bowman. (Check out “Move Your DNA” or her blog for more info). I was also very overwhelmed by the constant cleaning and CRAP that accumulated all over the house. The mess was literally drowning me every day I spent at home with my daughters. My husband and I felt like every weekend was spent maintaining the house (cleaning, grass cutting, weeding, minor repairs). Over the 3 years we lived there, I also found that we were always on the floor playing with our kids rather than sitting on the sofas. We never watched TV (didn’t have cable since 2013 and at some point we even canceled our Netflix account) other than putting a show on for my older toddler. Which I admit, this came in very handy as I navigated the world of staying home with a newborn and toddler. But we found that because she got screentime, she often requested it at times we didn’t want to give it to her (you know, when we wanted to get out of the house). So in our effort to cut her off, we didn’t even take our one TV with us when we moved. Plus the thing was 12 years old and on it’s way out anyway… our logic was “if we find that we miss the TV, we can get a new one for fairly cheap.” (We’ll see how football season goes with no TV…)
We brought three beds, two dressers, a dining table (that we handmade) with four chairs, a large book shelf, a rocking chair (that was given to us from my grandparents), tools, miscelaneous storage items like shelving units, and some boxes of clothes, decor, books, etc. That was it. We fit everything into a 16 foot moving truck and drove to Colorado.
