ZAEVIS yeah, all he'd need to change, if he finds the right girl, is to pull his bed out from the corner of his room. All he'll need to change, after they have a baby, is EVERYTHING! LOL! 😂
it is "tradition" kind of. In earlier times dense cities never had kitchens in apartments due to the high risk of fire. people in huge cities are just used to eat take aways, because its easier for them and always available
Funny thing I've found, with minimalism. It's far more devastating to "lose" something, through theft, breakage, etc. The few things I have mean more. Also, you noted that if someone broke in, they wouldn't find anything - but quite the contrary. They could steal everything you have, in 5 minutes flat. They wouldn't have to weed through any junk ;-)
Looks like you're a space maximalist. Thus, you use the maximum amount of energy to heat/cool your apartment because the displacement of the apartment is at it's highest... and pay the most rent possible for your space demands.. I don't get it.. You could probably fit all of this into a single bedroom and pay a fourth of the rent and a fourth of the heating/cooling bills.
neptronix I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read a comment asking how much money he saves from being a minimalist. Between this apartment, eating out, and paying for laundry it looks like he has a really expensive lifestyle
space unused and that kitchen unused.... is a huge waste!... but if he's planning to bring friends to breathe in there and make a little mess, so. it pays that
was obsessed with minimalism after seeing the documentary on Netflix, read their book and even marie kondo's book but still in the process of becoming minimal. Props to you for minimizing, Kraig!
for sure! i saw the documentary in feb and recently started listening to their podcasts every day, kinda addicted to it at the moment. i agree with everything but its definitely a process!! thanks for the tip, will do that :)
Feel sorry that you quit doing weddings.I think your work was inspiring a lot of kids to get in to the wedding industry.I feel like the niche opened for me to fit in.Weddings is more then 70% of what I do, so I going to take your spot for educating new wedding videographers and photographers.Thanks dude!
Lol, this guy's place is almost barebones empty - you can't even classify it as minimalism anymore. He just doesn't buy anything. Look up Scandinavian Minimalism on Google or literally just Minimalism and I guarantee that every picture will have more things that what this guy has in his living room.
He does not have everything that he needs. He exports his needs to other places for money. This is a huge difference. A real minimalist is in full control of his needs and thus scales back while staying able to act on them anytime. He is more of a consumer with a BnB apartment. However, no judgment ofc - everyone as they like.
When I moved together with my girlfriend into a new (pretty large) apartment I had 4 moving boxes and my PC. She had 70 boxes. I love her but it feels like someone else's place because 98% of things here are not mine and I would not want them.
I think that you live comfortably. The space leaves you area to focus on the things that are important to you. People need to realize it doesn't take a lot of material items to live. In fact not having a lot of stuff will leave you less stressed out and in debt. So your basic apartment is awesome! :) However, You should focus on buying food instead of eating out all the time. If you don't know how to cook go on TH-cam and look up some of the foods you like to get when you eat out all time. Trust me you will save a lot more money cooking at home than going out to eat all time. Plus you can always fix extra for later. I think it sad when another adult male or female can't cook for themselves.
This was really inspirational. This is what my appartment looked like during my first year abroad. I miss those days. Thanks for giving me a visual push to go back to less.
not weird: you do you. and maybe one day you wake up and you're tired of it and buy a ton of shit you like/want/need, or not...important thing is not forcing lifestyles on ourselves just because someone else tells it's better their way.
Hi Craig with a K! 1st tip, for the sound wall glue residue, get a WD40 and spray it, it will dissolve the glue and it'll be much easier to clean. 2nd tip, get an alarm ASAP.
Minimizing gear is such a good idea, it's so easy to want to get gear to fill the gaps in production but i'm sure there is a way to find the balance as you have.
LOVE MINIMALISM!!! You helped inspire us to become better filmmakers!! We just posted our first Short Film for TH-cam and have received so much support. Thanks for all your tutorials Kraig!!
Loved your video! You are so adorable and your personality is so down to earth. How I came to your video is because I recently quit my job and will be relaunching my virtual assistant business soon. I have been very interested in attempting to live as minimalist as possible and starting today will be getting rid of a lot useless things in my apartment. I feel the decluttering of my home and home office will bring me more focus and energy as I step back into being an entrepreneur again. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I wish you all the best!
For your foam background wall, screw up sheets of the dollar store foam board(light weight) and then glue the foam tiles to that instead. When you move out you can just take it with you and then there only a few small holes in the wall to caulk instead of all that glue to clean up and paint over.
Siiiick! Looks great, Kraig! We are minimalists too (on the journey!)--looks different for us, but minimalism looks different for each individual. :) And don't listen to everyone that's saying it's impossible once you're living with a significant other. 🤦🏼♀️ There will be changes, but it's all good. My husband and I decided to embrace this journey both individually and collectively as a couple. It's possible. ✌🏼
You are definitely a minimalist. I'm still working on downsizing my belongings. It feels so much better to have less to take care of, honestly. Thanks for sharing your home.
ETA: I do like that you are lighthearted about it, its adorable. Oh and I have nothing against minimalism, my husband is actually a minimalist ;-). Although I appreciate some things about minimalism, I feel that both extremes are bad. Having too much crap is bad and having an empty home isn't great either. Your place, although neat, just looks unhomely and unlived in. I like my home to feel inviting and comfortable. A lot of these "minimalist" homes feel just absolutely clinical to me. I guess it makes more sense right now because you are a young single guy and live in an apartment, but once you are married with kids and own your own home, you aren't going to want it to feel so clinical. You can still be very minimal and have your home FEEL like a home. I just feel like this is another extreme to hoarding. To me thats not relaxing, it just feels empty. I don't see any little items that say anything about your hobbies or personality. No posters, no paintings, no real color, etc......it just looks like when someone moves out of an apartment and leaves a couple of things behind. I want my home to feel like a home, be inviting, and more importantly make my guests and family feel comfortable and happy.
I used to live like this in the 70's. Not intentionally...I just owned what I needed. Back then no one referred to it as minimalist. They just laughed at me saying I could live out of a suitcase. Got married 10 years later and ended up as a couple in a two story house with basement, all three stories packed full! My second wife's a hopeless packrat. Am I detecting a pattern here? Is it the wives? I miss minimalism. 😕
WOW! Thank you so much for this video, exactly what I needed to see. There's nothing wrong to live in almost empty apartment (of stuff and useless furniture). I saw your fridgefreezer wow, mine looks the same - freezer is empty and fridge almost all the time 75 % empty. Why to keep all, if food stores are near! You get more fresh and you eat less junk food since your fridgefreezer will not provide endless sources of it and it's an effort to go shopping. So you naturally eat less and feel good! I think your cabinets are wonderful, I have similar, maybe a bit more of things - but definitely almost empty - not full. Same with closets. I think your lifestyle is nice, in this apartment, I live in a studio with bedroom and never been happier. My bedroom is as well to sleep, relax and meditate. The living room with tiny kitchen I use as my room for using laptop and eating/making food. Like you say, by showing your house, there's nothing wrong with having half-empty cabinets and fridgefreezer only 25% full - thank you.
with everything I do, I cant fully become a minimalist, but this video did inspire me to go through my stuff and get rid of things I dont use, or have no value to me. I've really downsized my clothes.
I don't think it's crazy. For now yes your place is empty but you do have a plan to add furnishing and a social element to your place so that's good. You might find that allowing more things may inspire you more rather than when your alone. Basically this symbolizes a clean slate and you can make it whatever you want. Go for it Kraig.
is this what the gentrification is like now? being so rich to rent or own an apartment in an expensive neighborhood to purchase emptiness? i personally dont understand this unseasoned, drab life.
I'm new to the minimalist life, but I am married and have a kid and will give you my observations of trying to stay minimal in my situation. 1. The wife's stuff is her stuff. I'm not going to try and scale back her stuff.....anymore lol. I tried and it just wasn't worth the hassle. 2. The baby is going to need things, but not excess of things. We don't need 30 bottles we only need about 4-5. We don't need 13 jumbo packs of diapers. We can deal with 1 at a time. Final Notes: Use the kitchen man. You can be a minimalist and cook. Unless you hate cooking, than do you. Unless-unless you only hate cooking because you don't know how or think you need 50 that you only use when you cook, then you should use your kitchen. Or not bro it's your life. Love the apartment, beautiful layout and space. Nice and clean.
The wife and I actually thought about that for money saving purposes, but after changing a few diapers I was ok with disposable diapers. Didn't want to have to deal with the baby poop cleaning process of cloth diapers.
I think this video explains why you're leaving WFS behind better than the why you're leaving WFS video did. This was one of your best videos and the editing and style was sick. Awesome!
It wouldve been helpful if you explained why youre a minimalist. Are you just really cheap, do you think youre somehow "saving the planet", or owning a normal amount of stuff makes you anxious? etc etc.. Im really trying to understand your thought process here.
I'm glad I watched this after cleaning my closet and donating two huge bags of clothes! The lack of snacks was the most shocking part! I always have to have a variety of snacks available.
Nonsense. He us not gay, just not a cave man, tough Brooklyn guy. I have 2 sons, one with his mannerism, who will be a doctor Soon, and another the street smart Brooklyn guy. It takes all kinds of men... Being Gay is cool too in NYC... easier there...
I really like your setup so far! As a minimalist myself, this is nice to see someone with about the same volume of stuff as me 😂 because my family thinks im crazy for owning so little kms
You are not weird, you just prefer your way of doing and living. Our houses have a lot in common. I just have what I need and because my living room is also a workroom I prefer to have space. I also like the idea of having an acoustic wall, I think I will have that too because my ceiling is about 3.10 m high so I need that for the sound. I even do have a special room for my cat (yes he is spoiled) with his Design cat box. Well, the less the better that is my idea. I only make space for simple and nice designed things. Oh, and about your clothing, I think it is smart to bring your clothing to that place to let wash and fold it, you (we) are just efficient with the time. Why would you do that if there are better things to do right? Keep living smart and simple. Great video, thanks.
i'm honestly moving out of my parent's house not fully prepared.. i do not have a sofa, but i do have comfy chairs, i do not have a tv stand.. but i have a coffee table.. I wanted to see up to what extent i can live a "minimalist" lifestyle and after seeing this. i can make it just fine.
I really like you. The style you make these videos is amazing and so good. Quality. The minimalism is bit trendy nowadays so its cool if it is just your own style. I think it is good, clean and simple.
I was in my teenage years kind of minimalist but ended up more of a "space effective", small stuff that can do the same as big stuff - but then I too have a passion so that took space as well.
I love it. I'm currently without an apartment (living in AirBnB's mostly). I have scaled down my stuff which is now sitting in the basement of my mothers house until I get a new apartment. But I definitely want to scale back my stuff even more before I move into a new place.
I love it! So neat and airy! I hope the roommate doesn't get on your nerves. I can't put up with people in my personal space for long periods of time. Good luck! 🍀
I had no idea you where going the minimalist route. It's funny because I started watching you in 2014 when I started filming weddings, I've been keeping up with your content, but have fallen off like a year ago. Now I discover this channel of yours, and it's funny because I started going the minimalist route like a year or two ago too. I just didn't go as extreme :)
lol the ending made me laugh. That was awkward yet funny at the same time. Your work station looks like mine. I admire your ability to live in a simple home.
I love this lifestlye. I wish I could have a closet like his...Man....Im hooked on this way of living. So simple and mind freeing....decisions to make......
i live in a studio by myself in the east village and it's literally a bed and a table and i love it. it's been a month but it's definitely gonna be sustainable!! don't worry
Man, I thought we were quite similar, not similar at all, you're a minimalist, I'm a maximalist! Can't move in my apartment for vintage items and antiques. Still, would prefer dusting your place than mine!
You should put the foam panels onto a sheet of plywood and screw that into the wall. That way each time you move you don't have to deal with all that glue.
I did watch til the end lol. The acoustic wall does look nice in the background. I've lived alone for a long time and now have a temporary roommate. It's nice having someone around sometimes but I still enjoy my alone time as well. It's all about balance as with everything in life ;)

connor flynn Same here! I kinda freaked when swinged his arm extremely close to the mug. Phew! lol
same here OMG :)))
OMG! I'm not the only mentally disabled here! :D Wish we could hang out for real! It would be fun for sure! Love from Bangladesh.
connor flynn yeees ! 😂😂
OMG as i got a anxiety... i scrolled and i saw this and i'm safe.
Anxiously awaiting your minimalist cereal review.
Lol
plain cheerios
Matt WhoisMatt Johnson cooking is for woman
makes me wanna clean out all my shit
will do man!! it would make life so much easier (particularly cleaning)
Hayden Budd I'm looking his place and then looking mine... also want to be a little bit more minimalistic.. I have a lot of useless stuff
Hayden Budd yeah me too!
This guy is so funny in his own dry way but I understand it
Who's Marcc I also identify with this guy, but I'm a mess
Girlfriend moving in = completely not minimalist apartment
Kraig Adams and I will not say about baby:) oh man, it will ruin minimalist's life:)
ZAEVIS yeah, all he'd need to change, if he finds the right girl, is to pull his bed out from the corner of his room.
All he'll need to change, after they have a baby, is EVERYTHING! LOL! 😂
you're forgetting makeup, flowers, clothes, pictures, clothes, shoes and did I mention clothes.
#ment
for me it was the other way around haha (boyfriend=mess)
no plant, and you call your self a youtuber
bennettsayshi you forgot the candle too!
For shame, for shame.
and the fairy lights
bennettsayshi and some random throw cushions!
Yup to complete the youtuber thing he needs a cactus lol
I keep my wallet, keys, and phone in my pants pockets, so if I'm ever missing anything...I'm probably not wearing pants.
have you tried keeping keys (in) your wallet
😂😂😂
You're wierd but I like it
Kraig Adams excellent response.
wesh tu fais quoi ici mdr.
+Yacine en gubbe bakom mig och skrek ifall jag visste om tåget hade behandlat en sån stor kebab
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
does literally no one in new york cook for themselves? lol that's how it seems
Thinking the same thing. Nothing 'minimalist' about being dependent on others for food.
katherinethe19th single-hood I guess
it is "tradition" kind of. In earlier times dense cities never had kitchens in apartments due to the high risk of fire.
people in huge cities are just used to eat take aways, because its easier for them and always available
Makes me think slightly that the money he saves on living minimalistic might be spent on eating out. But then again I have no clue. Shrugs
YUP
Funny thing I've found, with minimalism. It's far more devastating to "lose" something, through theft, breakage, etc. The few things I have mean more. Also, you noted that if someone broke in, they wouldn't find anything - but quite the contrary. They could steal everything you have, in 5 minutes flat. They wouldn't have to weed through any junk ;-)
This is perfect, I hate a cluttered house. The only issue I'd have is your kitchen. Do you enjoy starvation? Or do you just eat out?
Took me a while to work it out but for Americans "first floor" is what we in Australia (and UK?) call the ground floor.
The UK is ground floor yes. Up next is the first floor. But in the US they both mean the surface/bottom floor.
America it is ground floor also.
Looks like you're a space maximalist. Thus, you use the maximum amount of energy to heat/cool your apartment because the displacement of the apartment is at it's highest... and pay the most rent possible for your space demands..
I don't get it..
You could probably fit all of this into a single bedroom and pay a fourth of the rent and a fourth of the heating/cooling bills.
neptronix I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read a comment asking how much money he saves from being a minimalist. Between this apartment, eating out, and paying for laundry it looks like he has a really expensive lifestyle
space unused and that kitchen unused.... is a huge waste!... but if he's planning to bring friends to breathe in there and make a little mess, so. it pays that
neptronix Just what I was thinking
I don't trust people that wear shoes in their own house!
Morgane NDW I was gonna argue but then I realized I'm barefoot right now.
Morgane NDW it grosses me out
You don't trust white people? Racist!
Ex-Muslima L Really?!
I didn't notice and now I'm bothered
was obsessed with minimalism after seeing the documentary on Netflix, read their book and even marie kondo's book but still in the process of becoming minimal. Props to you for minimizing, Kraig!
Minimalism: a documentary about the important things
for sure! i saw the documentary in feb and recently started listening to their podcasts every day, kinda addicted to it at the moment. i agree with everything but its definitely a process!! thanks for the tip, will do that :)
Feel sorry that you quit doing weddings.I think your work was inspiring a lot of kids to get in to the wedding industry.I feel like the niche opened for me to fit in.Weddings is more then 70% of what I do, so I going to take your spot for educating new wedding videographers and photographers.Thanks dude!
Really glad that i discovered your channel, i like your vibe
My heart stopped at 1:27, thought you were for sure gonna knock over that mug
There's a difference between minimalism and just not having anything lol.
Kyle Tam No.... what
Lol, this guy's place is almost barebones empty - you can't even classify it as minimalism anymore. He just doesn't buy anything. Look up Scandinavian Minimalism on Google or literally just Minimalism and I guarantee that every picture will have more things that what this guy has in his living room.
Kyle Tam So what? He just has what he needs. That's what it means to be minimalist.
He has what he needs. Its minimalistic, everyone's minimalism is different
He does not have everything that he needs. He exports his needs to other places for money. This is a huge difference.
A real minimalist is in full control of his needs and thus scales back while staying able to act on them anytime.
He is more of a consumer with a BnB apartment.
However, no judgment ofc - everyone as they like.
When I moved together with my girlfriend into a new (pretty large) apartment I had 4 moving boxes and my PC.
She had 70 boxes. I love her but it feels like someone else's place because 98% of things here are not mine and I would not want them.
Great ending. Wouldn't mind it if that became a signature thing of yours. Unique. Funny. Awkward. I love your mind. Kind regards from a fellow WNYer.
I think that you live comfortably. The space leaves you area to focus on the things that are important to you. People need to realize it doesn't take a lot of material items to live.

Removing things can mean all of the difference in the world.
Best comment
Hmm, can't cook, doesn't do his own laundry...
gradma raised spoiled yuppie?
Pretty typical NYC living. I can cook but it's easier and cheaper to eat out.
This was really inspirational. This is what my appartment looked like during my first year abroad. I miss those days. Thanks for giving me a visual push to go back to less.
not weird: you do you. and maybe one day you wake up and you're tired of it and buy a ton of shit you like/want/need, or not...important thing is not forcing lifestyles on ourselves just because someone else tells it's better their way.
stone_23 so true.
Hi Craig with a K!
1st tip, for the sound wall glue residue, get a WD40 and spray it, it will dissolve the glue and it'll be much easier to clean.
2nd tip, get an alarm ASAP.
The only thing missing is actual foooodd lol other than that neat space
Minimizing gear is such a good idea, it's so easy to want to get gear to fill the gaps in production but i'm sure there is a way to find the balance as you have.
"It's 1018p, not the best quality..." 1st world problems amirite?
Dylan Lewis its only 62 pixels off
LOVE MINIMALISM!!! You helped inspire us to become better filmmakers!! We just posted our first Short Film for TH-cam and have received so much support. Thanks for all your tutorials Kraig!!
Hey Kraig!! if you need to get rid of some money because you know.. "minimalism" i can help you out!! hehe
Loved your video! You are so adorable and your personality is so down to earth. How I came to your video is because I recently quit my job and will be relaunching my virtual assistant business soon.

Bro, get a mini fridge. You dont need a big ass fridge
For your foam background wall, screw up sheets of the dollar store foam board(light weight) and then glue the foam tiles to that instead. When you move out you can just take it with you and then there only a few small holes in the wall to caulk instead of all that glue to clean up and paint over.
On my way over.
I don't drink that shit...I'll bring some tight ass coffee though.
Siiiick! Looks great, Kraig! We are minimalists too (on the journey!)--looks different for us, but minimalism looks different for each individual. :)
And don't listen to everyone that's saying it's impossible once you're living with a significant other. 🤦🏼♀️ There will be changes, but it's all good. My husband and I decided to embrace this journey both individually and collectively as a couple. It's possible. ✌🏼
Wow, I really love it. This is my perfect place for living.
You are definitely a minimalist. I'm still working on downsizing my belongings. It feels so much better to have less to take care of, honestly. Thanks for sharing your home.
so you eat always out? Breakfast, lunch and dinner? :-O
You're editing and humor are awesome. Nice space, definitely hoping to go more minimal back at school it's such a freeing feeling
Minimalist Apartment Tour:
*walks in*
"hello, welcome to my apartment."
"that's all there is to show, goodbye!"
*video ends*
Acoustic wall looks cool. It looks like flooring tiles. The kitchen cabinet was too funny. I liked you randomly standing in the bath tub 😂 TFS 😊
I stayed...damn it...😂
where did you buy those steel shelves?
Looks like the Hyllis Shelving from Ikea
ETA: I do like that you are lighthearted about it, its adorable. Oh and I have nothing against minimalism, my husband is actually a minimalist ;-). Although I appreciate some things about minimalism, I feel that both extremes are bad. Having too much crap is bad and having an empty home isn't great either.

I guess it makes more sense right now because you are a young single guy and live in an apartment, but once you are married with kids and own your own home, you aren't going to want it to feel so clinical.

So pleased that even minimalists aren't barbaric enough to drink instant coffee.☕☕☕
I used to live like this in the 70's. Not intentionally...I just owned what I needed. Back then no one referred to it as minimalist. They just laughed at me saying I could live out of a suitcase. Got married 10 years later and ended up as a couple in a two story house with basement, all three stories packed full! My second wife's a hopeless packrat. Am I detecting a pattern here?

The cup being so close to the edge of the table is giving me anxiety.
WOW! Thank you so much for this video, exactly what I needed to see. There's nothing wrong to live in almost empty apartment (of stuff and useless furniture).

Did you also get rid of your monitor 😮 ? Personally I find editing video on bigger screen more comfortable...
Kraig Adams sbba
This video make a new standard for me. It will be hard looking at other minimalist video on youtube regarding apartment minimalism.
Now watch his new roommate be a hoarder! : l
with everything I do, I cant fully become a minimalist, but this video did inspire me to go through my stuff and get rid of things I dont use, or have no value to me. I've really downsized my clothes.
Why do people place double beds in the corner of the room? It's annoying for one person to get out and a hassle when you put sheets on the bed.
I don't think it's crazy. For now yes your place is empty but you do have a plan to add furnishing and a social element to your place so that's good. You might find that allowing more things may inspire you more rather than when your alone. Basically this symbolizes a clean slate and you can make it whatever you want. Go for it Kraig.

Love the apartment, beautiful layout and space. Nice and clean.
Why don't you go the cloth diaper route? Definitely more minimal just a bit more interaction with baby poop lol
The wife and I actually thought about that for money saving purposes, but after changing a few diapers I was ok with disposable diapers. Didn't want to have to deal with the baby poop cleaning process of cloth diapers.
Minimalist is a fancy word for someone with OCD
I think this video explains why you're leaving WFS behind better than the why you're leaving WFS video did. This was one of your best videos and the editing and style was sick. Awesome!
Why girlfriend? Get a cat.
I am the exact opposite of a minimalist, so this STRESSES ME OUT SO MUCH
It wouldve been helpful if you explained why youre a minimalist. Are you just really cheap, do you think youre somehow "saving the planet", or owning a normal amount of stuff makes you anxious? etc etc.. Im really trying to understand your thought process here.
I'm glad I watched this after cleaning my closet and donating two huge bags of clothes! The lack of snacks was the most shocking part! I always have to have a variety of snacks available.
8:23 What? What is this? Am I stupid? Why am I watching
I jumped a bit at 1:28 when you moved your hand, that’s how I always spill my coffee everywhere. Cool video! 👌🏼
I thought you were gay hahaha, gess I was wrong
Renato Miranda Gonçalves well, assumptions are not always right. same here btw
Renato Miranda Gonçalves me too :)
Nonsense. He us not gay, just not a cave man, tough Brooklyn guy. I have 2 sons, one with his mannerism, who will be a doctor Soon, and another the street smart Brooklyn guy. It takes all kinds of men... Being Gay is cool too in NYC... easier there...
I absolutely love the natural lighting in your living room!
Where are the condoms?
I really like your setup so far! As a minimalist myself, this is nice to see someone with about the same volume of stuff as me 😂 because my family thinks im crazy for owning so little kms
get 1 plant
Everything you need, plus an extra room. I'm sure its not a lot for rent, and it's organized.
I seriously am considering this lifestyle..
This video is so boring is almost like conceptual art.
Well, i found it entertaining.
You're a true minimalist if you can show every single detail of your -hotel- house in under 10 min
how much is your rent?
probably $1500. just a guess
You are not weird, you just prefer your way of doing and living. Our houses have a lot in common. I just have what I need and because my living room is also a workroom I prefer to have space. I also like the idea of having an acoustic wall, I think I will have that too because my ceiling is about 3.10 m high so I need that for the sound. I even do have a special room for my cat (yes he is spoiled) with his Design cat box. Well, the less the better that is my idea. I only make space for simple and nice designed things. Oh, and about your clothing, I think it is smart to bring your clothing to that place to let wash and fold it, you (we) are just efficient with the time. Why would you do that if there are better things to do right? Keep living smart and simple. Great video, thanks.

I think this is the most minimalist minimalist video I've ever seen 😊
I haven't had a good chuckle over a youtube video in years. Thank you for the refreshing content :)
i'm honestly moving out of my parent's house not fully prepared.. i do not have a sofa, but i do have comfy chairs, i do not have a tv stand.. but i have a coffee table.. I wanted to see up to what extent i can live a "minimalist" lifestyle and after seeing this. i can make it just fine.
I had the same problem with the glue residue from the acoustic foam. Now I'm using picture hanging strips. They hold surprisingly well.
I really like you. The style you make these videos is amazing and so good. Quality.
The minimalism is bit trendy nowadays so its cool if it is just your own style. I think it is good, clean and simple.
I was in my teenage years kind of minimalist but ended up more of a "space effective", small stuff that can do the same as big stuff - but then I too have a passion so that took space as well.
I love it. I'm currently without an apartment (living in AirBnB's mostly). I have scaled down my stuff which is now sitting in the basement of my mothers house until I get a new apartment. But I definitely want to scale back my stuff even more before I move into a new place.
I love it! So neat and airy! I hope the roommate doesn't get on your nerves. I can't put up with people in my personal space for long periods of time. Good luck! 🍀
haha, I LOVE this video!!!! You crack me up! Your apartment is PERFECT. I love minimalism.
I half expected this to be 10 seconds long: "Yeah, it's minimalist. This is all there is."
I love minimalism so much. This was highly satisfying to watch 😩😩😩
That little "FRIENDS LOL" made me laugh and I immediately clicked like and subscribed lmao
I had no idea you where going the minimalist route. It's funny because I started watching you in 2014 when I started filming weddings, I've been keeping up with your content, but have fallen off like a year ago. Now I discover this channel of yours, and it's funny because I started going the minimalist route like a year or two ago too. I just didn't go as extreme :)
lol the ending made me laugh. That was awkward yet funny at the same time. Your work station looks like mine. I admire your ability to live in a simple home.
Yesss I love this! Finally a minimalism video that's actually minimalist 😂
I love this, I've gotten rid of so much stuff, and now, I 'm still working at it slowly.
I love this lifestlye. I wish I could have a closet like his...Man....Im hooked on this way of living. So simple and mind freeing....decisions to make......
Pretty sweet! Inspired me to get rid of a lot of unnecessary and unused stuff.
i live in a studio by myself in the east village and it's literally a bed and a table and i love it. it's been a month but it's definitely gonna be sustainable!! don't worry
Man, I thought we were quite similar, not similar at all, you're a minimalist, I'm a maximalist! Can't move in my apartment for vintage items and antiques. Still, would prefer dusting your place than mine!
It's good feng shui to have nothing under your bed, lets the chi flow freely, and promotes good energy.
You should put the foam panels onto a sheet of plywood and screw that into the wall. That way each time you move you don't have to deal with all that glue.
These videos are so chill and lol minimalist is an understatement dude
I did watch til the end lol. The acoustic wall does look nice in the background. I've lived alone for a long time and now have a temporary roommate. It's nice having someone around sometimes but I still enjoy my alone time as well. It's all about balance as with everything in life ;)
