    Our first home was about 900 sq.ft. After having 2 kids, we had the opportunity to get some land and build a house. We decided on one that was about 1550 sq ft. It was a challenge to find a builder that would build a house 'that small'. "Small" is completely relative. I love your ideas.

    I just LOVE YOU and your genuine self !! I don’t really think you realize how much that’s truly appreciated these days, especially coming from someone whom is a younger individual with 3 young children. Kudos to you!! I’m not old ( at least I’d like to think I’m not; 😂 (probably a couple years older than you tops) however, I’d like to say not everyone is as “mature” and appreciative as yourself to “create” what you have in your house and make it your HOME 🏡…❤.. so many people lose sight of that these days trying to keep up with others or even moreso trying to outdo them, just to look good and make it a sudden competition. All it does is put a lot of pressure on our ourselves and even more on our children. I love your videos, your ideas and most of all you! I feel like you’re sitting in my living room talking to me 😂 and I have a friend for life! 😊
    Plus I do have my coffee ☕️ in hand as I watch!! 😊
    Your home and family is beautiful! ( I loved the idea that you framed your child’s artwork) I did that myself! ❤

      @DawnDavidson Před 3 měsíci +2

      I think technically a “small home” is 500-1000 sq feet (a “tiny home” is under 500 sq feet). But I agree that 1100 for 5 people is definitely small. It counts!
      When I owned a home it was officially 1400 sq feet. It was fine for us when we had 4 people living there, one of whom was a baby. By the time I sold the house, I had at least 6 of us living there full time, along with several “part timers” (eg, shared custody kids) and 2 cats. That’s a lot more people per square foot, and it feels much smaller! By that point we had turned the dining room into another bedroom, and installed a door into the attic space for additional closet hanging space and storage, as well as storing things in the (tiny, wet) basement and 2 storage sheds in the backyard (we did NOT have a garage, though.) That was a lot of stuff to go through and downsize, at the end. Decluttering regularly is a great idea!

  • @sstephens2175
    @sstephens2175 Před 4 měsíci +15

    I grew up in a 1300 square foot home. However, downstairs (which was the basement, with the same amount of square footage as the upstairs) we had my brothers two bedrooms, family room, storage room for home canned food from the large garden my dad grew. Then there was a full size bathroom and a large laundry room. Technically the basement doesn’t count as square foot space, but honestly it doubled our square footage, and we used it. I think when people say you don’t have a small home it’s because they know you have a basement where you have useable real estate. I’m assuming your laundry room is down there, and a place to store over flow items, Christmas stuff, luggage, etc. I think a lot of people would like to see how you use your basement, because those of us that grew up with one know that it definitely adds to the useable space inside of a home. You do a fabulous job with the small space upstairs. Buying the right furniture and accessories makes a world of difference in what we can manage in a smaller space.

    • @smania7575
      @smania7575 Před 2 měsíci

      The cost of utilities is a HUGE deal when you own a home. We pay about $300/month on average for gas and electricity for our 1100sqft house. My friend pays close to $500/month on average for electricity alone for her almost 2000sqft.

  • @kelvinkao7436
    @kelvinkao7436 Před 4 měsíci +18

    I have a theater background and tend to pull inspirations from there. Since backstages have limited space, I think my home the same way too. A lot of theater set pieces tend to serve multiple functions. It's one thing in one scene, and you flip it over and it becomes another piece for another scene, etc. I also prefer things that can expand, collapse, and be quickly transformed without additional tools. That's also what I look for with my various items too. If you have limited space, it means you are always transforming the space as situations arise, and you want the cost for that to be minimal. So I really relate to the multi-purpose part.

    Great tips! I'm a recent retiree, and I have been having SO much fun re-organizing our "small-ish" home. A few months ago, I purchased an immersion blender with attachments. It is fabulous! I immediately was able to donate eight, small kitchen appliances! My appliance cabinet used to be stuffed full, but now it is well-organized with room to spare! Also, I put a vinyl placemat from $ Tree under my stand mixer so I can easily slide it in and out of my appliance cabinet. It has been so much easier for me to use! One last tip, if anyone has an appliance cabinet, AKA, "appliance garage" (with an electrical outlet) it's easy to add convenient lighting to the place with a small, plug in light. Any cabinet can be luminated with battery op lights.

    We have a Murphy bed in our playroom. Most of the time it’s a play room and on occasion it’s a spare room. It’s perfect for a queen size bed. I love being in a small house because it has to change with our family. We can’t just keep spreading out and keeping stuff we don’t need-our home has to adapt to now. It keeps things more intentional.

    Having grown up living in (and cleaning) a large house, I actually prefer the little 2bed apartment we live in now. I get inspo from "tiny house" double-duty furniture pieces, and it takes a fraction of the time to keep it clean and orderly when you're more aware of the space limits. It's also way less of a burden when you move home.

    Oh my goodness girl! Yes! That is tight especially for 5 people. Our home is about 1400 and we only have two bedrooms and 6 people! It was built in an era about 100 years ago and in that time homes were built with using every extra nook. So no extra space to cut into or use. It’s tight! Our baby is in our room and our three girls 6-12 are in one room. I’ve watched your channel for a long time. Basically since Miles was born.:) My favorite ones you make are the small space home ideas and creative ways to organize with no room and out of the box creative ways to change up your rooms! Like your desk you have in your bedroom! We have a tiny kitchen with one drawer! 😂what? I know. The last person to live here was a single man. We really have barely any room for food storage ,So we put our food in the basement ,at the bottom of the stairs on a shelf .
    So many areas are multi use areas. I’m currently considering moving our dining room into our living room. We just are so tight in our tiny dining room now with 6 of us at our small table.
    Currently our living room is a play room on one end and a tv/couch rest area on the other end. We separate it by a chair turned in towards the couch.
    I love your DIY dollar tree videos and mom hacks so much! I also resonate with your motivation videos. ❤ honestly I just love you and your outlook, humor and honesty about everything. In a video you said in regards to a tidy home…”you are living here , for goodness sake you are living here.” about cleaning. Don’t we put so much expectation on a clean home that we see online?! It’s too much. So I now always repeat that to myself when I’m looking at the house at the end of the day. ❤❤❤❤ You are the best Kalli

    A family of 6- coming from a 1100 sq ft and moving into 3200 sq ft, I couldn't believe the amount of stuff I could fit into my small home. When we moved into the larger home, I was shocked by the amount of stuff the came out of the small home and seemed to have just enough space for it to fit in the larger home. This was because I had systems and storage solutions that worked for a small home (installing extra shelves into closets, using every corner). With a larger home, items had room to breathe and spread out. I didn't need the 6 shelves in the linen, coat closet, and hall closet anymore. I love this video! Thanks for sharing. 😊

    We just decided to get rid of some items in our bedroom that are just causing clutter to put a small walking pad and a small weight bench with band and hand weights in there on one side. Additionally , since I no longer work from home we are going to get rid of my desk that has become a place for clutter and we are going to put a small but comfy chair there and make a little reading nook on that side. I am really starting to reduce things I have and go with things that give purpose to us in our home.

    Batteries - I remember seeing an article written by a firefighter. His own home almost burned down as he had stored used batteries in a cardboard box, just thrown together. Two had touched ends together making a connection with enough energy still stored and they sparked and the entire box caught flame. Please store them side to side with no ends touching, for your family's safety.

    When talking about the size of your home, the number of people who live there also has an effect on how it feels.
    Also, if the main activity if everyone in the home is watching Netflix, all that requires is tvs in multiple rooms. But if the activities include gaming, football, skiing, cycling, etc, that stuff requires more storage space for the required equipment.

    @natalieaatkinson1 Před 3 měsíci

    I found this so funny because I’ve also looked at your home before and thought “you have no clue what small is”! But now that you’ve put it into better perspective, yes, you are in a smaller than standard US home. I’m not sure exactly what size my flat (apartment) is in Ft, I think it’s about 700? But it’s 70m2 in South Africa. And we don’t have lofts or basements for extra storage. And a lot of places don’t even have garages. All our homes here are tiny match boxes. (Some of the newer build places are 37m2 (370s ft?) So I’m always looking for hacks to save space and always constantly de-cluttering. Thanks for all your cool tips and for the interesting videos.

    Bunkbeds and trundle beds are great for space saving! I have a small spare bedroom, but lots of grandkids. I have a bunkbed set with a trundle underneath, so three can stay in that small spare room at once. When they’re gone, it only takes up the space of one bed.

  • @HeronCoyote1234
    @HeronCoyote1234 Před 3 měsíci +1

    You mentioned about decluttering one thing every day. I do what I call “soft decluttering”. When I open a drawer, cabinet, or closet, and it’s looking a bit untidy, I’ll take two to ten mins to quickly declutter and organize the contents. A closet declutter (usually the longest) can be broken up by shelf, or rack. It’s an easy, small effort/big reward method of decluttering.

We have a rule that you leave the bathroom as clean or cleaner than it was before you enter. This Meaning, our toilet gets washed every time anyone poops, not just airfresher.

    QVC was my Mom's pre-Amazon. 😂 I've always stored my measuring cups the way my Mom did which wasn't functioning when I cook a lot more than she did. Hanging them has been a great time and organizing solution.

    My home is bigger, but I’ve started to declutter everyday in 2024. I take one drawer or closet or area and get rid of stuff. I can tackle one area a day. It makes me feel so good!

    We also have a smaller home with 3 bedrooms and 3 kids 4 years of age and under and my husband also works full time from home, his desk is in the corner of our dining room and I also work and my desk is in our bedroom. Both the older boys bunk too and our newborn son is I our room but will go to his own room as he gets older. Thanks for always sharing tips and tricks!

    Love this! I think people are starting to realize smaller homes are the way to go. Me and my husband share our 964 sq ft house w/ 2 dogs. I work from home and use my dining room table which is on one side of the living room. When I’m done working I just put everything away and it’s tidy again ! Love your content Callie!

    My boyfriend and I live in a one bedroom apartment and I work from home full time.... I am constantly de- cluttering but our place is now fairly organized and cozy- I do like your idea of shelving closer to the ceiling for storage of items used less frequently

    Happiness is loving what you have. I don't envy owners of bigger houses. They can clean multiple bathrooms 😂. They can pay huge mortgages and utility bills. Every house I visit with soaring cathedral ceilings I wish for long johns and hamdwarmers. All the heat is near the ceiling! It would cost a fortune to make it warm enough at floor level. Ignore rude people. TFS I noticed that you store your fire extinguisher in the back of a bottom cabinet. Why not invest in a prettier one and have it visible?

    Love this video. We are a family of 5 living in about 1300 sq ft with no basement storage area. We have invested in alot of custom furniture with hidden storage, builtins, nooks in walls, cabinets that go to the ceiling etc. I'd rather use every bit of my small home than get a larger home to have to heat/cool.

    Great ideas! Our house is just under 1100 square feet and we raised three kids here (now all married). We also used some of those same ideas, but some are new and helpful still. Getting rid of stuff that isn't being used is probably the most important thing. I love your channel and often share with our daughters, especially when you give ideas for kid stuff that they would use.

  • @julietannOsfan1972

    Great tips.
    Houses in the UK are a lot smaller than ones in the US, so we have to be quite creative with space.
    A lot of houses don’t have utility/laundry rooms & have their washing machine in the kitchen. If they also have a tumble dryer that is often in the garage.

    Thank you for sharing these! They’re always so helpful! I hate people have been rude about home sizes. We’re a family of 6 living in 1500 square feet and we have to be really creative about space as well. My four kiddos share one room with a trundle bed to help save space and we use another bedroom as our school room/play room! They love it and have never complained. You do a great job sharing useful tips! I’ve learned so much about how to make my home more functional, organized and peaceful! Thank you! Keep it up! 👏🏽

    Making comparisons to other people home size; is that helpful to you in your personal life? Does it matter to your home?
    I am grateful for the ideas here! Oh, my home is SMALL for those who feel it really matters😂

    We are a family of 7 in a 1,100 Sq ft 1.5 story home that has only 3 small closets total. Fitting five kids in is not easy but doable with creative ideas on use of space like the ones you share here. I always keep my eyes open for additional ways to utilize what we've got so thank you for helping me think outside of the box here.

    I don’t have a small house (1700 sq ft), but I still minimize the amount of stuff I have and utilize space as efficiently as possible. I declutter an area (drawer, cabinet, shelf) weekly, so I’m able to stay on top of my stuff without feeling overwhelmed.
