The baby on the couch makes me nervous
Lol
@Katie Did. makes me nervous too
Same here! Like she isn’t near him at all, he could fall off at any moment, I don’t know why she doesn’t just put him down for a nap or simply carry him!
beautiful space and thanks for being honest about the junk areas.
wow your house is very nice and very organized, thanks for sharing /watching u here in philippines
So cute, thank you for sharing!!
Love the style throughout and am so impressed with how open and airy it feels given the size! x
Thank you 😊
I kind of like the diagonal mirror 😅
To each their own 😄
Me too.
I would like it if it were square!
Lovely house! And as someone living in Europe, I definitely wouldn't say it's a small house!
Yeah I hear homes on Europe are tiny!
I agree
I'd say it's too small for 5 people
For European standards your home is quite big for a family of 3 :) I love it, especially because u keep it so minimal.
What? xd small house?! I say it is huge! I’m from Europe...Lol
When you got to your bedroom and were talking about your bedding I love how you said marriage is about compromise. Yes! I can totally relate with my husband as we are renovating our home and he likes the dark and moody vibe and I like the white and airy vibe - his car is black mine is white lol, so we painted the home white walls with black trim and accent walls 😅 this is how you do marriage. Loved this home tour I recently found your channel and was looking for a home tour but didn't find one so I'm glad you released this video today!
Wow I love that compromise! I bet it looks amazing. Also thank you, I’m so glad to have people like you on my channel 😊
Haha my husband and I are the same way
Made me nervous with baby on sofa, should block the end with something lie a chair. I come from a family of 8, husband a family of 12 and we had five kids so I do not mean to judge or hurt your feelings but kids go from corner to corner when little in crib. Back in the day we had cribs that had like an s hook to hold mattress. Well we did not hook the crib mattress right but thought we had. When our oldest got to be about 3 mths old it dunked him on the floor. Lucky for us he was just starting to sllep in his own room so I did not sleep good and heard it. So just be careful things can happen. You know your baby though. He is adorable. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I love it. Enjoy that little guy for they are gone on thier own in a wink. God Bless you.
I dream of a laundry room, one day! For now the washing machine is in the kitchen which is so noisy, but that’s standard for homes in the uk
Wow that’s crazy! Ive never heard of them in the kitchen
Well, it is standard for most of homes in Europ! Their "small" is our "normal" 😄
(I live in Brussels, Belgium)
@@vanessazicot6589 that’s what I was thinking! American houses do seem very big from what I see on TH-cam
*Canadian* 😊
@@AshleyEmbers so interesting to see people’s houses around the world. Thanks for the video 😄
I don’t mean to be a Karen, but I just really thought throughout the whole video how the baby can be left in the couch and he won’t fall over? I’m just super paranoid about that stuff. Lovely home. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t blame you, now that Rook knows how to flip over, we don’t put him on the couch
We live in England so this is really a normal amount of space for us, if not quite big! We don't have closets really here or laundry rooms unless you have a huge house. Our house is literally- straight into the living room , then into the kitchen which is also where the table is to eat, the kitchen also the washing machine in it and we have to dry clothes in there. There's a small pantry full of crap and the fridge off the kitchen too. In between the living room and the kitchen are the stairs up to the bedrooms - master bedroom and a small bedroom for our son, we have one bathroom which is ridiculously small, like I have never been in a smaller one. Then there are more stairs up to our daughters room which is in the attic. Houses here are so expensive and so small!
LOL I thought I was the only one having to live with this, (almost the exact same sentimental blanket, his is tiger) that made me laugh.
Hhahahah omg that’s too funny 😄
My husband ALSO has a sentimental blanket we cannot get rid of! I thought I was the only one too! 😄
😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your home with us! You have really used the small space well and it's adorable!
Wow the baby really scared me. He's there by himself 😳
I didn't even notice he was there until he moved and made sounds. I hope he doesn't fall.
He's so cute
But we needed to see her house tour ...😬🤔🤷
Right?! Came to the comments to see if anyone else was concerned... lol. I thought that maybe he was old enough to get on and off of the couch, but he isn’t even crawling yet. Definitely sketchy, especially on such a narrow couch. I have an 9 month old and haven’t been able to trust that he wouldn’t roll off ever.
@@TheMircakes you never know when they will roll
@@TheMircakes baby was strapped in
Your home is very lovely, but please don't leave your son unattended on the sofa. Children his age tend to start to roll over and if you're not there to catch him he will hit the coffee table.
Thank you for opening up your home to us. It's so lovely! I love your style.
Thank you!
“Crutches for whenever we break our legs...” 😲 what?
Lol! Josh broke his ankle a couple years ago and our insurance doesn’t cover crutches so we don’t want to repurchase if we ever need them again.
If my roommate wouldn't have kept his crutches I would've had an issue after my car accident
I love small cozy homes! I’m downgrading to a smaller space when my lease ends
"crutches for when we break our legs"
Does that happen often? 🤣
It reminds me of the chocolate bar episode of SpongeBob:
Injured Fish : I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms, at night I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
Triangle mirror!
“Small house”? Thats pretty big actually... damn these first world countries are really spoiled man.
I love how you’ve made use of every square foot. You’ve truly made your home work for your family.
A few years back I did a cross country move and moved into a smaller space
Taking that opportunity to look at everything I owned, get rid of anything that wasn’t serving me / pair it down, felt refreshing and freeing.
It’s been a few years since that move so I’ve accumulated some more things...but seeing your space is very inspiring.
Also reminding myself, sometimes it’s okay to hang onto little things that make me happy.
Appreciate you letting us into your home. Love the videos Ashley !! 💛
Awe you’re too sweet! Sometimes I wish I could uproot my life and live somewhere else but we have so many ties here. Its really amazing you were able to do that and cut down your belongings. Thank you for your sweet comment. It’s people like you who make me excited to put out more video 😊
@@AshleyEmbers thanks so much for the kind response, Ashley! I love the videos :)
first of all that baby scared the crap out of me. i was so busy looking at how nice the couch is i did not see him at first. second am i the only afraid the baby was going to roll off that couch!
Idk the bathroom mirror is kinda cool
“Crutches for whenever we break our legs” haha you’re hilarious 😂😂😂
Amazing amount of storage for a small space. Cupboards everywhere 😃
Can’t get past baby left alone on couch don’t think a wise decision
Any tips on how to get your home to not smell like food when you are cooking in such a small space? We also live in a small 750sqft home and the smell of our food fills the house when I cook lol Would love to get and tips about this. :D
The wolf blanket made me laugh out loud. I love the patch quilt. I also have one my grandmother made. How would he feel about you having all the white linen and then folding the patch quilt the long way a draping it at the end of the bed?
You can put the picture on the wall with the structube chair in the nursery
that mirror is fresh actually
My husband is the same way about bedding. Currently using a Michigan Wolverines blanket ha! But I love my husband and the compromise is worth it!
So funny how similar men are 😄
First video I ever watched from you. I clicked on it because I live in 800 square feet with a family of 4. I also named my son Rook! What a funny coincidence! Beautiful home tour. Great taste in home decor and baby names lol.
Wow that’s so crazy! I don’t know any other rooks 😄
@@AshleyEmbers Me neither! I couldn’t believe it when I heard his name! 😊
Started having your videos recommended to me because I’m pregnant with surprise baby #3 who will be 4.5 years younger than #2 and I feel like I have to relearn all things baby! Just wanted to share that to keep shoes out of the way I just store them in the kitchen cabinets closest to the door. My husband keeps his in the garage (which I realize you don’t have) but you have two less kids in shoes so maybe that all comes out in the wash. Anyway, really enjoyed your house tour, your home is lovely and I LOVE your kitchen!
Thank you, but that cupboard is full haha. My husband loves baking so he has every type of flour in there 😄. We keep our beekeeping equipment in there too.
Your house is honesty 3 times the size of our house in the UK! I think houses must be much smaller here!! xx
Yeah. I hear house in the uk are tiny
@@AshleyEmbers also the amount of storage space you have is unheard of here in uk ...
I LOVE your house, it is adorable!!! Thank you for sharing!
Well, that's weird. I thought you had a Canadian accent and went to "About" to see -- and you live where I grew up. I lived there when it only had three stores: Mrs. Wain's, Roraph's, and Mr. Jones's. Well. Your baby will probably go to the same elementary school I did. It's still there.
Wow. Sounds like Josh needs to grow up.. Childhood quilt over really. Grandma's blanket I can understand
Love seeing how other people organize in a small space, really helpful! Also love your top in this video !
Grant the not plant 😄 8:33 Also I've been thinking of building my own vanity recently...
Thankyou for this video!!!! ♥️
I have that hygee book too. I saw it in your book area haha it's a good book
The mirror in the bathroom was my favorite part! So interesting and unique.
Such a beautiful home😍😍
I think that bathroom mirror is visually really cool on the diagonal like that!
3:10 haha yeah i understand, this is not good for my OCD
Lmao I must have been really really poor, my family of 4 grew up in a space that small.
I like the ledge in your windows also. I want to build out my window ledges to set more plants. Thank you for the tour, many ideas.
That coffee table is beautiful!!
it's so interesting to see how housing is in different parts of the world :) here in Ukraine 750square feet is by no means big, but it is decent. Our flat is smaller than that and it is plenty for us (expecting momma here), though furniture is not the best (I'd prefer to have more practical options). but we'll be able to make it work for at least the first 6 months I think. :) and if the furniture was more practical, it wouldn't even be a question if we should move or not.
We'd like to move but:
1. pandemic
2. prices are way too high compared to what we pay here.
Yeah furniture makes a HUGE difference in making a space functional. I wish you all the best in your pregnancy and motherhood 😊
Josh is high maintenance. Josh needs to go, lol j/k
I have 760 sqr ft and love it❤ less to clean too😅
HAHAA.. YOU HATE THE MIRROR AND ITS WHAT I LIKE SEEING .
This video really give me the inspiration that I needed! I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I wanted to give our house a more “homie” vibe. So tomorrow I’m going fishing on GoodWill with my husband 💕
Thats amazing 😊
Beautiful home! I wish my husband and I had separate closets but my house is so small I don’t even have a storage closet! 😔 for now i use an old Ikea wardrobe as storage 🤷♀️
Do you have you have to to make it work 😊
Haha! The bedding situation is pretty funny I must say. And Grant the "not plant"!!! BAHAHAHA! Love your cute house and all of the foliage! You just gave me a great idea for some old planters I have in my back yard. Loved the video!!
Cute place I could live there
I love the bathroom mirror
New sub! I love how you started with your junk drawer; I immediately thought ‘oh yes, this is my type of of person’ 😂 your overstimulated motherhood video spoke to my experience to a T! So helpful. Xo
The wolf blanket 🤣
The mirror and the wolf blanket, I couldn't cope! 😂 I live small home tours. My house is 823sqft in the UK. We are a family of 3 and it's so hard to be contented. Im more and more convinced I need to declutter to be able to enjoy the home we have.
Love your cozy home, thanks for the tour!
this is such a beautiful home!!
Lol that kitchen itself is bigger than my entire house 😂
Hahahah the kitchen is definitely the biggest room in the house and that was a huge reason for us renting here!
The home feels big for the square footage.
Yeah the layout is nice
Beautiful House 🏠
I LOVE that coffee table! my husband is looking at building a coffee table very similarly to that!
You could easily hang the bathroom mirror straight by aligning the two shorter sides vertically (even with the vertical wall)and of course, the longer of the four sides would be horizontal. Not a difficult fix at all. There is definitely enough space to make the change. I can tell by looking at it.
It’s amazing to see how the perception of “small” changes throughout the world! Our less than 400ft sq flat feels just right for our family of 3, but am sure for some it would seem like a mansion while others couldn’t imagine how we fit everything in.
You have a beautiful home and am especially jealous of the garden, dream of having an outdoor space one day :)
Wow! Yeah no kidding. I have a friend in less than 400sqft and I can imagine adding a kid to theatre situation
Dear Ash! I LOVE the colour that u used for your walls. Do you know whats the name of the colour and where to get it? I live in Austria so I don't think that I'm able to get excactly the same but who knows ^^
that mirror in the bathroom is interesting, I've never seen something like it before lol. definitely a unique touch!
You can easily straighten the mirror if you don't like it
It’s glued to the wall
I stumbled upon your channel and immediately fell in loved. New subbie 👋
I love the artwork! Especially if it is personal. I have a lot up in my house. I have a large painting in the kitchen. Your blue painting would look great in the kitchen under the cabinets at the end of the table.
oh josh just get over it pls. xD
btw my husband would kill me if id roasted him on the internet that way. he seems to be chill.
And you have a beautiful home!! Love all of your plant's brings a lot of life🏡🌱👌
I love EVERYTHING about it, except the diagonal mirror! Its such a beautiful, cozy home!
Hello I’m a new subscriber, beautiful home 🙏🏾
U have a lot of closet and storage space for a small space and I love that slanted mirror in the bathroom.
I realy like diagonal mirror, genius idea for bathroom in the atic
Would love that sizehouse I have a flat and love your balcony
Do a custom-sized square (or shape of choice) for bathroom mirror issue.
Do you rent or own? The situation with the mirror is an easy fix get a round one👍
Love the video! I would love to go minimal. I've gotten rid of so many things over the years, but no where close to being minimal yet. lol
Minimalism is a journey 😊
Thanks for doing this video! I have never seen some of these rooms before!
Hi, I’m also in BC; what part are you in? Your house seems much bigger than our 890sf condo! Honestly! We don’t have two separate closets and I wish we did. Our son’s bedroom was my husband’s den, and it is definitely more cluttered than your nursery. We definitely have similar style and decor though...
Hi! I’m in the lower mainland/Vancouver area. I don’t know why my place looks bigger than it is. Maybe it movie magic 😄
The bedding thing was so relatable 😅
My partner has a wolf blanket too!!!!! It’s on the bed right now! 😂
Please let me use the comforter 😭
(Is it a Canadian thing??)
Hahaha that’s a good question! I wouldn’t be surprised 😂
My husband has a blanket just like your does, except his has a massive ship on it. Never been into sailing. Not sure why he's so into it... but compromise. 😅
Hahahaha love that 😂
Oh my gosh, the WOLF blanket!! My husband has one too! We call it “the wolfie blankie” and yes, it’s on our bed. I dream of white duvets as well... 😂
Hahahaha we have so much in common 😂
I actually love that blanket on your bed! I feel like it match well with the decor. Random question but what model are your Blundstones? the classic 585 or the chisel toe ones? thanks for your great content I'm always looking forward to watch your videos xx
Yeah I don’t mind the brown blanket too much. I think I’ve just always dreamed of white bedding. And the boots are the classic 550 ☺️
Love your place! So nice and so much storage! :D
House is gorgeous but in no way small.
This is the perfect size for a house! My hubby and I live in a 624 square feet apt in DT Toronto and we're expecting in March so it's nice to see what others have done with their small spaces.
That’s awesome! Good luck with labour and delivery!
I love what you’ve done with your home. I can’t wait to find a new home with double closets as well. Your diagonal mirror is pretty cool but couldn’t you change it out if you want to? You mentioned that you painted the walls so maybe change the mirror as well?
Thank you! Yeah the double closet is amazing. The mirror is attached to the wall somehow so I’m worried to try and remove it haha
Really enjoyed this video. Your home is very clean, organized and lovely 😊. Any chance of a video showing how you use your air conditioner unit?
Thank you! Umm maybe I’ll mention it in the summer when it comes back out
So beautiful. Thanks for uploading 😍
