[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your question is odd to me I’m a minimalist that moved from a one bedroom apt to a 2 bed 2 bath house on 3 acres.

My house items are the same - we did buy one extra bed. Child has only bed and a chair in room plus some toys. Living room is a chair a couch and dining table (and an easel!) just like in the apartment.

Are you moving to be a minimalist or to be in a city? I love my white walls filled with sunlight and few necessary items but all the extra space it feels “breathy.” We had to buy a few shovels and trash bins but the yard is just mowed by a company and we planted a little pollinator garden.

It sounds  like it’s not the high rise or the location but the fact you’re overwhelmed with your surroundings. Fix that first it takes a lot of time and thought but it’s worth it. I’ve been like this for years and years and can fit my whole house in a few boxes. Imagine you are moving to that high rise and fix what is wrong now. [/quote]

Why does everyone have trouble with the concept of downsizing? Pp, you have 3 acres to care for, op wants less maintanance.
Op, I consider this often too but I would need a balcony to rival my porch where I spend a lot of time. I do agree with pp that you can start to minimize now.[/quote]

I’m PP there’s nothing to care for I pay weekly for someone to clean and cut grass, I don’t spend a thought extra about it. Maybe I’m confused by the OP to me it sounded they wanted to minimize their living situation but would miss the ability to be outside and enjoy the outdoors. I was explaining you can downsize your life where you are you don’t need to move to do that. [/quote]
