Hi, I'm Becky! I'm a Minneapolis creative, blogger, and master curator. I'm whipping up practical ways to make room for what matters through minimalism and simple living.

Loving this little handmade potted beauty that I recently acquired while redecorating our apartment. It’s a perfect addition and pop of color in our simple little apartment! It's accompanied by a number of other little beautiful pre-loved pots that I’ve collected from various thrift stores over the past couple months. Thrifting is totally addicting and breathes new life into pre-loved things AND avoids adding to new things to the waste stream. All the wins! . #zerowaste #zerowastehome #cosyminimal #minimalisthome #simplehome #houseplant #houseplants #simpledecor #livingdecor #aplantaday #livinglighty #pottery #greenpot #greenpottery #handmadedecor #thrifting #thriftyideas #zerowastelifestyle #zerowastelife #zerowasteinspo #thriftstorefind #thirftstoreinterior #handmadepottery #minimalistlife #consiousliving #zerowastemn #pinterest #lightandminimal
While recently redecorating our livingroom, I added some pretty homes for a few things that tend to lay around our apartment a lot... like blankets. We have far too many blankets... While blankets are certainly used often here in MN, storing them in this large thrifted basket ($4 thrifted beats new at $30+ any day!!) next to the couch keeps them off the floor and makes tidying easy! Lamp was also thrifted ($13). I was over-the-moon about finding this stringy black lamp!!! Most of my recent redecorating finds have been thrifted to prevent adding new things to the waste stream and because giving new life to a unique, pre-loved thing is totally addicting! #zerowastedecor #zerowastehome #zerowasteliving #apartmentliving #apartmentlivingroom #livingroominspo #graycouch #basketstorage #minimalisttips #minimalist #storageideas #blackfloorlamp #floorlamp #comfyliving #cosyhome #cosyapartment #mnblogger #redecorating #neutraldecor #simplicity #simplelivingroom #throwpillow #thrifted #thriftydecor #thriftyliving
Big news!!! A dining room table has FINALY been added to our home! Yayyyy!!!! . Sheesh... this only took years to finally come around to. As a minimalist living in a small apartment, there was only room for either a desk OR a table. We finally decided to sell our well-loved Ikea desk to pursue the warmth that happens around a table. My long-held dream about having a huge table filled with good food and better company inspires our minimalist choices — we frequently ask ourselves how our things and space allow us to pursue community and friendships. While a dining room table is a thing, it gathers people, is just downright FUNCTIONAL, and has absolutely made our space feels so homey and deliciously comfortable! Found this lovely #midmod table from @target and thrifted these lovely chairs. . Stay tuned for more thrifty apartment updates! . . . #midmodern #midcenturymodern #midmodtable #smallapartmentliving #smallapartment #apartmentdecor #mixedchairs #differentchairs #mixmatched #minimalistdiningroom #minimalist #minimalistlifestyle #thrifted #zerowasteliving #mnblogger #minneapolisblogger #twincitiescollective #twincitiesbloggers #interiorinspo #thriftedstyle #thriftyinteriordesign #thrifty #thriftyfinds #lightandminimal #pinterest
Meet our receipt box! It contains receipts that we want to keep, coupons, and loose change that drift into our home. . Giving these little things one box to call home prevents them from cluttering our counters, purse, wallets, pockets, and junk bowl (our alternative to a junk drawer and, unlike a junk drawer, is cleaned out frequently since it sits in plain sight on the counter). We declutter the box when it starts overflowing. What's your favorite way to reduce clutter in your space for these inevitable things that accumulate, like receipts? . . . #decluttering #clutter #simplifylife #simplelifestyle #howtodeclutter #declutteryourlife #waystodeclutter #decluttering #minsgame #receipts #loosechange #storageideas #storage #simplestorage #giveitahome #simplehome #minimalisthome #minimalistspace #stepstodeclutter #easytips #easylifestyle #simplelifestyles #lifestylehack #junkdrawer #cleanout #cleanoutthecloset #stuff #pinterest #lightandminimal
While the TV was turned OFF in January, this journal kept me super busy! Working to beak #perfectionist habits so I swapped a traditional journal with lines for an empty sketch book and wrote, doodled, thought, questioned like crazy. It's probably the messiest journal... and yet it's my favorite because my thoughts were unedited and free-flowing. Read more about this in my recent blog post about my #tvfree January. 🗒✏️ . In other news, I'm crafting up a NEW, more-masculine vision for our living room and hoping to thrift most of it. Watch out Craigslist, we're about to sell a bunch of #stuff to make room for a few new [old] pieces! . . . #turnofftheTV #noTV #journaling #sketching #simpleliving #swaps #journalinghabbit #journalingideas #journalingsupplies #backtobasics #whiteinteriors #midmod #midmoddecor #planning #plansforthefuture #livingroomstyling #livingroomdetails #craigslist #pinterest #lightandminimal #liberating #liberatingthought #creativeprocess #creativity #creativeinspo
January may have concluded, but my TV-Free 📺🚫 experiment might just keep trucking along! And when I say trucking, I actually mean joyously, frivolously dancing along as I continue exploring and leaning into the creativity, quiet, and growth that that's happening in place of TV. New post is up on the blog 👆🏻 about what I learned and explored during TV-free January experiment! Also, there's a call for a good novel to add to my book list in there. I get overwhelmed by all the choices novels in bookstore 📚... which of your favorites should I add to my list? Help! Lol! . . . #tvfree #challenge #challengeyourself #mediafree #turnitoff #turnoffthetv #toomuchtv #netflixbinge #bingewatching #slowliving #slowhome #simpleliving #simplicity #readinglist #booklist #graycouch #bookcase #books #booksuggestion #moretime #notimeforanything #simplesolutions #somethingnewforme #pinterest #lightandminimal #twincitiescollective #mnblogger #mplsblogger #mpls
