If you’re looking around your house right now and wondering why it’s such a mess with so much “stuff” all over the place, you’re not alone. That’s pretty much what most of the world is thinking right now as we stay inside (aside from those who have already Marie Kondo-d their domiciles).

But there’s one group of people who have been living for a long time without clutter. Then again, they’ve been living a long time without modern comforts (like air conditioning) and conveniences (like the Internet) as well.

We’re talking about the Amish.

Beverly Stephens, the content creator at Living Eclectic, gave viewers a peek into an Amish home 5 years ago.

And while her video doesn’t show too much – or name the location of the home – it has managed to gain over 1.2 million views since then.

What can we say? People like simplicity!

As she walks up to the homestead, we see that there are two houses on the property, the main house and another, relatively smaller home.

Despite both being large, the Amish do not fill their homes with knick-knacks, though different Amish orders have different ways of thinking about what “belongs” in a home.

But first, the porch. It’s almost eerie to see so many rocking chairs slowly blowing back and forth in the breeze in an almost ghostly manner.

It’s at least some indication of how many adults might live in the house.

This home is austere. In fact, when entering, the first thing our “tour guide” sees is a large, empty gathering table with kitchen cabinets.

It looks to be in a basement since it has concrete floors and most Amish houses have hardwood or linoleum in the living areas.

The Amish also use the open space of their large, cool basements to store food and spend much of their time in the summer months, so the floor plan makes sense.

We’re not invited to see what’s in all of those cabinets, but we do get a glimpse of a beautifully stored set of canned foods.

The Amish are able to save plenty of vegetables and other seasonal foods for winter by canning and pickling in glass jars – and this house has a huge collection.

We’re guessing quite a few people live in each house since the Amish tend to have large families.

This also appears to be downstairs on the first level, but our guide soon goes up some wooden stairs (though we’re unsure of just how many floors) to check out the bedrooms.

The master bedroom’s focus is, of course, one of the Amish’s famous quilts. These are all made completely by hand.

Each piece of handmade wooden furniture is unique as well and people are often surprised to find out just how much they cost – the labor and good materials cost a premium and aren’t your average factory-made stuff. Expect to pay in the thousands.

And what lies at the end of an Amish person’s bed? Certainly not a television, like some American households.

It’s two more rocking chairs with hand-quilted covers.

If you don’t want to think about what your own child’s bedroom looks like right now, take a gander at an Amish child’s.

Toys are minimal, as is clothing, so everything is incredibly tidy (and to most eyes, quite sparse).

While you won’t see electric lighting in the house, it might look like it for a moment since they do have fixtures mounted on their walls – but these are oil lamps which can be turned up or down depending on the amount of light and heat you want them to give off.

There’s not much more to be seen on this tour, but it’s worth exploring some other Amish home tours as well to see the variety of living spaces and styles that exist among the different orders.
