Minimalist Master Bathroom + simple storage solutions

Take a tour of our minimalist master bathroom! Although not large in size, it holds everything we need. As a result of our friends becoming more aware of our family’s minimalist lifestyle, we receive plenty of questions. Mostly, people want to know where we keep our things. Specifically, they are curious what we do with…

    where are the rolls of toilet paper and cleaning suppies?ReplyCancel

    • Hello!
      We keep a couple extra rolls of toilet paper on the right sight of the vanity (next to the basket). I think I point that out in the video? As far as cleaning supplies, I just have one bin (which I keep in the mudroom/garage entry) and I bring it with me from room to room when I am cleaning. I usually clean all the bathrooms in the house on the same day. 🙂ReplyCancel

  • What a great idea! Nothing like a new year ( and some forced time at home) to get us in gear with decluttering. Thanks for the tips!ReplyCancel

    • Ha! So true! When you see your ‘stuff’ every day – you really start to re-evaluate the situation. 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Kati

    We’ve been decluttering a lot this year too. Love the idea of doing it as a game with another person to bounce ideas off of and to keep you accountable!ReplyCancel

  • Val

    I enjoyed doing the challenge with you & kudos for making it all 31 days . Since Less ( to manage ) is More ( time for self) I’ve decided to tackle February also 👍😊ReplyCancel

    • It was fun! Thanks for telling me about the challenge! Good luck in February!ReplyCancel

    Enjoyed reading your post . The idea of choosing a ‘word of the year ‘ is thought provoking . There are so many to choose  from but the one word I know I’ve said most  already in 2021 is ‘Journey’ so that will be mine 🙂  Acceptance of mine & not trying to plan out the one for others as we all are on our own journeys , they will take us different places @ different times and that’s ok . We don’t need have or to be passengers 🙂 ReplyCancel
