#30: how MINIMALISM nearly GRINCHED OUR Christmas
delighted 2017 everyone! shall we ring in the new year with some show notes for Episode #30 of young house love has A Podcast? On this week’s episode, we asked you to call in with your house-related resolutions for 2017, and kid did you people deliver! So we’re playing some of our favorite listener voicemails and sharing what home-related changes we’re intending to carry out in the coming year. Plus, we share why we were giving all of the presents under the tree some severe side eye on the night before Christmas, how we found something burning in our son’s bedroom, and we take a look at what trends Pinterest is projecting will be big in 2017.

Here’s a quick list of some of the gifts we pointed out in the episode:
The wife’s fancy phone charger (shown above) – I also treated myself to one, and the weighted knot that keeps it from falling back behind the nightstand is great
Sherry’s new books: the latest Domino book and absolutely beautiful Things
Also, here’s the saw I’m currently eying: Sliding Compound Miter Saw… ideally with this collapsing stand
Here’s that Minimalism documentary on Netflix that we enjoyed Christmas Eve (complete with a Dan Harris cameo, who wrote the 10% Happier book that Sherry has raved about)
Also, a lot more info on project 333 that was mentioned
Plus, Card against Humanity (we went through 3 expansion packs – Red, Blue, and Green)
Lastly, below is a peek at the “homework drawer” we carved out in the kitchen by shuffling a couple things around (you can see a video of how the rest of our kitchen drawers are organized in this post).
