My Dirty Little Secret (aka Junk Bowls) | Getting Minimal
https://gettingminimal.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/my-dirty-little-secret-aka-junk-bowls
My Dirty Little Secret (aka Junk Bowls). Hello, my name is Brittany Hollister and I have a problem. Well, not really a problem, per say, but it totally depends on who you ask. My husband would concur that this is indeed a problem. My minimalistic side would agree it’s a problem. What is this faux semi kinda problem? In case you’re doubting whether this is a real thing, the above picture is of two junk bowls that reside only a short foot from each other on the counter. Not even half full. Lovely! The othe...

The “Getting Minimal” Backstory | Getting Minimal
https://gettingminimal.wordpress.com/2014/07/27/the-getting-minimal-backstory
The “Getting Minimal” Backstory. Have you ever felt claustrophobic in your own home? 8230; took a look around and felt frustrated with the crap on the counter, or the toys cluttering up the floor, or the piles of dishes that seem never ending? Do you feel bogged down and overwhelmed with trying to keep your space organized? I feel you… and I’ve felt this exact way for way too long. My plan is to do something about it and this blog is to document my journey. I got rid of a lot of stuff, and loved that I&#...

How I’ll Execute | Getting Minimal
https://gettingminimal.wordpress.com/2014/07/28/how-ill-execute
How I’ll Execute. Today is the perfect writing day. It’s overcast, and gloomy, which, where I live, is super duper rare. So I figured i’d share with you, internet land, my general plan on Getting Minimal. Getting Minimal is a great idea, and I’m stoked for it. It’s hard to actually think of. This is what I came up with (and if i’m being honest, i’ll probably go awry somewhere, but i’m assuring myself right here and now that it’s okay). Part I – Clearing Out. Is stuff that i’m not completely sure I ...

Woo hoo! A Kitchen Accomplishment! (Sorta, kinda) | Getting Minimal
https://gettingminimal.wordpress.com/2014/08/16/woo-hoo-a-kitchen-accomplishment-sorta-kinda
I actually have found that I’ve missed writing these last few days (I was whipping out things left and right there for awhile). I went out of town with family last week and have been a little off schedule-wise since. But, I’m ready to get back into minimalizing and hit it hard in the coming days! So what’s on my agenda, you may ask? Why did it bother me? I have to admit that I don’t think my cabinets were that bad. I’ve seen worse but to me, they were cluttered and suffocating.). The kitchen is a big pla...

The First Step | Getting Minimal
https://gettingminimal.wordpress.com/2014/07/31/the-first-step
After the obvious (deciding to just DO THIS! I had a hard time figuring out what my first step should be. I mean, I have an entire house to tackle and it all seems so… overwhelming? I took a much needed baby step yesterday but I need more direction on where my goal is taking me. So, my first step in all of this, is two fold. The first part is to break down what needs to be minimalized (apparently that’s not a word? So, in case you were wondering, here’s my list, in order:. The goal is to have a garage sa...

Living Room – Part I | Getting Minimal
https://gettingminimal.wordpress.com/2014/08/01/living-room-part-i
Living Room – Part I. The living room was slotted to be my first major ‘getting minimal’ room. It’s the heart of the house and where, as a family, we spend the majority of our time. It should come as no surprise that this room was also packed pretty tightly with couches, and toys, and organizing bins (I have a problem with these, remember? But this is similar to what our couch configuration looked like, except on one end there was a chaise lounger and the ottoman seemed much bigger in our living space.
