Minimal living has helped my stress/depression and anxiety a lot

I feel like you need a white cat prowling around .

Christine-you have such a lovely, calm space! My favorite thing in our home is a vintage map of Long Island. It's been in my husband's family for almost 100 years. It used to hang in his grandmother's beach cottage. I love things that tell a story and have personal history!

I agree. I could not allow KZfaq to force me to add more things to my home for a WOW. So like you, I decorate what I love. I decorate with blue and white. I love this space. It relaxes me. Big fan! Cathryn

Oh Christine! Your space makes me feel at peace. Your esthetic is spot on!

This is my all time favorite layout/ design for the living room that you have done thus far.

I feel so calm just watching the video, I can only imagine how peaceful it is to live there! wow, soo beautiful and bright. so inspiring

*Christine, I have been following you for yeeeeeears.... I remember way back to your guinea pig days... That thing was adorable btw.. I love all your transformations, all the clean beauty, clean eating and living. I am on that clean boat myself these days trying to make a healthier life for myself and my husband and I wanted to say I have learned so much from you and I wanted to thank you and let you know - You. Are. Inspiring*

Christine, you are amazingly talented, I have been your fan since I saw your channel. This video is so satisfying to watch. Keep doing the good work! Love from India.

I'd have to say my holiday decor. I love decorating so much. The things I love about your home is how bright, clean looking, your plants, your gem collection and organizing it.

My altar is my favorite thing/space in my home. It’s full of sentimental and unique treasures.

I love my bed. Bamboo sheets, cotton comforter, cotton pillow covers...true comfort. Great video!

Minimalism has helped me so much!!! I love seeing other people’s minimal homes!

What a beautiful, serene space. I like this new furniture layout better than all your previous ones and how the larger art pieces and natural elements really make a statement. I'm slowly decluttering the small tchotchkes I once loved and replacing them with large plants and architectural pieces that allow the room to breathe.

I'm so happy you're back on the minimalism wagon! I found you when you were decluttering in Hawaii and still rewatch those videos. I'll admit you lost me a little bit over the past year or so since you started accumulating more, but your recent videos have been my new favorites. I'd also love to see me videos on your diet, seeing that you've decreased your skincare needs by fine tuning your diet has really been inspirational to me!

My favorite item(s) in my home are all of the art work I've hung on my walls, each are from the countries I've travelled to and each bring great memories of those adventures! Thanks Christine for all your terrific videos, always full of great ideas!

This room is fresh n light. Very sureen n tranquil. Just a real joy

I love your space. So calming.

It looks so nice..the cholla cactus skeleton is my favorite part. Plus all the natural looking items. Great job!

Your home looks so serene and uncluttered, just lovely. God Bless.

Beautiful home. My favorite item in my house is a cross from Peru that my Uncle brought back for me. It was hand carved and it is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for sharing your home.

You have such a beautiful home, love your decor taste. It’s hard for me to pick one item in my home that I love, but probably a jewelry box that my mom gave me for Christmas one year, I love it. Thanks for sharing❤️

I love how you chose your pieces, the spaces look fresh and inviting!

Dear Christine , thank you for your beautiful videos. They are inspiring. I am also loving my new ring I just got from you. Thank you. I would love to ask to either point me to one of your videos and to do new video on how to sell staff while decluttering. I am just so impressed how quickly you can sell your items. Please consider doing full video on this. Thank you again!

My favourite thing in my house is the largest mirror next to the dining table. I love the reflection from the coastal flowers on the table and makes the room seem bigger.

So beautiful - you have impeccable taste!🙌🏽 My favourite piece in my house is a very simple plant shelf my husband made. Functional & gorgeous too!👍🏽

Love that everything looks clean love your tips

I loved seeing this. You are giving me great ideas on decorating my own home. I would love to see other rooms.

My favorite item in my home is art. Wall art, pottery, and collected driftwood. These things bring me joy and calm. Your channel does too.💕

Tk you for the tour of your living space! Very beautiful! I love your plants & miss them in your living room. I think a few strategically placed would add a little colour. I think plants add life to a living space! Loved your videos of what you eat! Very encouraging for me to eat healthy, miss them! You and Michael seems so happy! I love how you enjoy life! Take care, stay safe & thank you for posting! Very much appreciated!

My favorite item is my coffee table. My mom got it before she had me at an antique shop, but now it's mine and I painted it white and it is perfect!

Very pretty! I love white and creams as they look so clean.

It looks beautiful! Great job! I'm in the process of doing that to my bedroom.

It's really hard to make a rental 'your own' but you have done a beautiful job, Christine....especially considering the effort you put into upcycling used furnishings....my favorite home furnishing is our artwork and our greenspace outdoors, especially this time of year!

A beautiful glow and calmness, well done you did a amazing job...

I absolutely love your home! The natural objects, subdued colors, the textures, the white..... it's so peaceful! You really got some crazy good deals, too! I am following your lead, and going more minimal.💗 My favorite thing, in my living room/dining room, is my white pedestal table with Eames style chairs.

Love very much thé new way you have organised thé living room ! Thé sofa next to the fire place looks great. Xo

Wow! I love it Christine!!

I have the same coffee table! I love it!!

My favorite piece in my home is our antique buffet with intricate carving. We have it in our living room because I love it so much that I want to see it all the time!

So beautiful Christine!!

One of my favorite items in my house is this vintage cookie jar that is a pastel pink rooster. It was my mom's I believe she bought at a yard sale like 40 years ago. When she passed away i kept it because she loved country farm house and that's not really my style but I always loved that pink rooster.

Best item in the room IMHO (aside from the plants of course) is the exercise bike with a desk - I love that! Will have to find one. Thanks for the video tour.

The room looks amazing !

Looks much better! You & Michael were collecting a lot of stuff. I have found that by not going to garage sales I stopped bringing home a lot of stuff. I would see all this neat stuff and buy it and it would sit in my closet or garage. Lesson learned you don't need to buy every neat thing you see. You can admire it from afar you don't need to own it.

I love my living suite. It is gray and converts into a bed. I bought it on Wayfair two years ago and it just makes my living space look so elegant. I also love white but I did choose to paint my living a celery green. Looks beautiful and is still very soft and airy.

Loved this! Ny favorit thing in my rental house is a vas with dried grass 🤗

What's one of your favorite items that sparks joy in YOUR home? Tell us about it in the comments! Is it a home decor item, a plant, an upcycle, something that helps you stay organized?...

What a beautiful space and items :)

My favorite piece in our house is a large piece of digital wallart - it took me two years to find. Been on my decluttering journey for years, it is a proces but i'm getting there. Love watching your videos 😊

So pretty and cozy

Gorgeous peaceful home

I too practice a minimalist lifestyle with neutral tones in my house which makes my red couch really stand out so I would have to say that the couch is my favorite thing.

Sad to say, but there is nothing in my home that gives me joy. We rent and the place hasn't had any work done since about the 80's. We do have a new landlord now who I think is going to be doing some upgrades. I cannot wait. I absolutely love your home, Christine. I especially love your coffee table. I also like how organized you are. I am disabled so it's a bit difficult to do some of the work that needs to be done. Anyway, I love your videos...those bring me joy!

I love the overall aesthetic of your living room! Have you thought about adding an area rug under your coffee table in your living room? Maybe something in muted shades for a slight pop of color?

I’ve lived following your videos for years, but in this regard we are so different! I LOVE my space filled with plants (I want a jungle vibe), colorful textiles, art on the walls, and random thrift finds that bring me joy. Everything has a home so it doesn’t feel overwhelming to me. It’s just what makes me feel comfortable. I’m what they call a maximalist and I wouldn’t have it any other way:-)

Choya cactus - love, love it !

I feel like I have transitioned alongside you I find that working on my home has been helping with my anxiety your videos are so inspiring I hope to continue making changes here and there until walking around in my home is bliss🥰 sending love from Tempe AZ

I love your style so much! So calm, textured, and warm. My favorite piece I own is probably my bed. It’s an antique wooden french style bed with beautiful woodwork. It’s value is probably $600-$800 in my area (some places are more expensive) but I got it for $150 because it needed some tlc.

I really enjoy your content Christine. Very Zen. Thank you so much.

I love your version of minimalism!!😍😍

Hello Christine, All that I love : Some white, clean and plants. I like your taste : Very rejuvenating and inspiring! Thanks for the sharing!🖐 Arnaud

That Fairy Castle Cactus is just Beautiful!! ♥

My favorite piece is a 14 1/2" x 10"x 7" mini elec. faux fireplace/heater by lifesmart that i got at menards. Beautiful.. It looks like the flames are real. Sparks joy.

Love your style

I cannot wait until you post future minimalism videos...love them!!! My most loved/valued item is a painting gifted to me on my retirement from teaching.

I loved everything about this. Very inspirational. My favorite things in my house (besides my humans) are my plants. My whole house colour palette is white grey and green. 🌱

My favourite item in my house is my elephant ear plant! It grows so quickly and it brings so much joy to me watching it grow!

You really have evolved. This is awesome!

I really like this set up

Looks great Christine... I love your work area shelf, all the gems and hanging necklaces, yes definitely do a video on that if you feel so inclined :) I think the favorite things in my home are my plants but, it's funny at the same time, they're like the easiest thing to let go off, if one doesn't suit me anymore, or just doesn't fit in as it grows etc. But isn't that true love? I've heard true love is not possessive ;) Anyway, also I love my hot water boiler for tea LOL :D Thanks for showing us your home. Have a great day Xo

My favorite piece of my house is our bedroom. I realize it isn't an item but for me the entire area is calming. We redid our home when we moved in and that was the first room we did. I wanted it calming so we did a simple beach feel. Baby blue paint color, white sheets and dressers, the night tables are white/ bamboo, and a couple of lamps that we made that are filled w/ sand and shells. I am in love with your dining table and coffee table!

The favorite thing I have in my house is my TREADMILL! Especially with this quarantine, it's made such a big difference in my life. I love being able to exercise every day (or every other day sometimes) and be in the comfort of my own home. What a huge blessing it's been!

Mine is my low pale yellow couch that I got at the goodwill for 35- that was originally from Paris valued over 10k. 🙂🙂🙂 it’s in my office where I spend the majority of my day.

Excellent!

Our glass coffee table & the mantle (handmade) w love.

Love your style. While minimalism isn’t my thing I can def appreciate it as I still love a clean uncluttered look. I also love any desert decor and am going to look for cholla vases/candle holders so I can steal your selenite look! 😍

Your frontroom is beautiful! I wouldn't change anything.

My favourite thing is my gallery wall of family pictures, past & present. ❤

I would have to say my handmade bookshelf. It’s a large L-shaped piece with 4 shelves. My daughter’s boyfriend made it for me for Xmas and I love it. That and all my books are my favorite things in my home. Your style is so bohemian chic, but it’s homey and cozy, I love it!

Loved this, the white is beautiful. Also how you show the variety and shifts that occur in minimalism, the journey is not in a straight line!

Nice! My plant babies are my most favorite n valuable.

Omg loved this video!!! It's giving me Life! You always inspire me! My all-time FAV thing in my home is my Essential Oil holder on the wall! I use the Young Living Essential Oils 24/7 so they are easy to reach for. It's a large wooden one hung in a shady spot. 💋💋💋💋💋

Love your home Christine. So beautiful and clean looking. Also a renter here but wish we had tile/wood floors. Tfs 💜

My coffee table is led so I nick named the disco table. So relaxing seeing it change colors at night

My favourite item is my vintage small baroque style side-cabinet. I found it on the Craigslist of my country. It's actually painted in a pretty lilac colour which makes it much more unique. Oh and I also like my original print of a Louis Shabner painting from the 60s of a beautiful pinup girl. Really classy and fairytale like. I saw it hanging in the bathroom of a restaurant and I convinced the owner into selling it to me :) I think these two things I love the most because there is a story behind it and it's cool to hunt for original things!

I don’t attach to objects so my husband n fur babies (2 cats, 1 dog) are my favorite things in my house. I love everything about ur home. ❤️

Luv Luv Luv👍🏿😍❤️

My favorite item in my home is my desk. It’s made from distress wood with a rod iron stand. Love you space.

Would love to see a video of how you organise your shelves / cupboards / drawers 💞 Thank you x

I love your place! I have a couple's of favorite. 🤔 I have a big frame picture of my horses and some plants, at the moment I have a cactus with an orange flower on top❤️❤️❤️ and a pocadot plant that is growing in a way you want to pet😹.

I love your style. I wish I could be as minimalist as you but I know that will never happen because I collect to many things. LOL!! I have two favorite pieces of furniture that I love. A tall blue grandfather clock I got at an estate sale for $30, and a white vintage record cabinet, which is perfect because my husband and I both have a collection of vinyl records that fit perfectly in it. I got it from a guy on Facebook marketplace for $50.

I'm a organization/jewelry lover so I would love to see a jewelry organization video. As for my favorite item, I don't really get joy from things. My pets give me great joy.

Thank you for sharing your home with us! How about a hair and skincare routine vid?

The holes in that cactus skeleton give me the heebeegeebees 🤢 otherwise, it looks very cool.

I have 2 plates that I got at TJ Maxx (10 years ago? 15 years ago?) They are photographs of lions! I am currently decorating my bedroom around these 2 plates! Your home is gorgeous as always! I love seeing it after the big decluttering session(s)

Peaceful 🌿

I would love to see a DIY project of you and Michael making a new headboard for your bed.

#goals......absolutely stunning ☺️

I love your work bench and jewelery . I would love a more in depth video about that and how it is organised.
