How Minimalist staying with Maximalist under 1 roof πŸ˜ƒ

Hi everyone!! Today’s topic is a bit bizarre to discuss, but yet most of times happening and is an issue for minimalist out there, including me πŸ˜„

So, we all know how minimalist characters, we love simple things, and keep things that only really means to us. But hey, how bout if you got no choice to live with those who are maximalist? Well…well…well…you are not alone! I’m living with my parents and my mom is maximalist…πŸ˜€

I should say, it’s kinda depress to see a lot of unwanted stuffs everywhere in the kitchen, in the living room, in the garden, but yet you just can’t throw it out coz it’s not yours and its your mom’s stuff, plus you are staying in their house. You are not…alone…πŸ˜‚ πŸ€ͺ

Well, you actually really can’t do much, but for me, I will take some my little space, in each of corner in the kitchen especially for my own stuff. My mom, not allow for me to have my whole 1 cupboard, but she just allow me put my things in 1 container at the places. You heard me right, its plural ‘places’. She gave me, one corner in the fridge, 1 corner in the spices, at the other corner for my dry ingredients like my takoyaki flour, bonito flakes and other dry stuff, and another corner for my sauces like honey mustard. To be honest with you, it gimme a lot of headache to find my stuff, so I keep some in my own cupboard, in my room. Like a small cupboard pantry πŸ˜ƒ


My Small Cupboard Pantry for dry food packets πŸ˜ƒ

This is one of the cupboard or some call wardrobe. But, I have 2 wardrobe, well..I’m living in a family whom all members are maximalist, except my dad and me. So yeah, I have 1 big wardrobe, and 1 small wardrobe. So the big one, as you can find in my other post, is solely only for my clothes, handbag, duvet cover and bedsheets, towel and scarf. And another 1 small cupboard, I keep the sort of unwanted stuff that need to sort, like cables, candles, essential oils that Im barely use, projector, gun glue and sort of stuff. So, I keep one rack for my dry food stuff, like coffee, sauces in packet, jelly packet…etc..

Haha…well, when you got no choice, built choices on your own πŸ˜‚ so, another thing I have is, a small minifridge under my desk πŸ˜‚ Yes, you heard it right..under my desk coz I got very limited space in my room. But soon, when my house completed, I will make it as my serum storage πŸ™‚


My Micro Fridge for some drinks and small treats πŸ₯°

Its very tiny fridge, obviously not for meat or vegie πŸ˜‚ but for a small can or drinks, or some small treats.. should be okay 😊

Okay guys, thats all for today..oh yea..by the way, today is Eid-Adha, wishing all Muslims Happy Eid-Adha ❀

Till then, to be continue. I will show you how to make Homemade Takoyaki at home tomorrow..Wee!!! I love takoyaki, I believe most people love it. See u tomorrow!!
